THE PLAYS/
Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone is a suite of dystopian parables nailing the collective unease of the Greater North / Middle West / FiniteEverywhereLand.
1. They Shoot Ponies, Don’t They: A girl grows up to become what she always wanted to be, a horse.
2. The Shepherdess & the Saviour, Beauty Queens: Two Miss Worlds promise you peace (of mind).
3. From Earth: Why bureaucrats best not read Logan’s Run.
4. “The Jack the Ripper Experience”: A distillation of pop-rape culture trade, with a chaser.
5. Please Don’t Talk About Me: Let’s not ruin the ending.

REVIEWS/
“Fresh, demanding, and brilliantly subversive…theatre that runs and slams itself against the limits of convention”
“Clear-eyed director Nathalie Adlam, and her four-strong cast – Ayesha Tansey, Nadege Adlam, Sarah Fraser and Norma Butikofer [are] alternately funny, unfunny, past control and deeply affecting.”
★★★★ “a punk grandeur – scattering, bamboozling, then stark, plain and pained” – londontheatre1.com
“Beautifully brutal…hits you like a freight train” – Alan Franks
