WINNER OF THE FILIPA BRAGANCA AWARD honouring the best solo performance by an emerging female artist at the Fringe.

If You're Feeling Sinister [a play with songs] - stage adaptation of Belle & Sebastian's iconic album↗

★★★★ The Guardian ★★★★ The Herald ★★★★ The Scotsman ★★★★ The Stage ★★★★ The Reviews Hub |
![]() “A cautionary tale of our need to get to grips with the way mass connection is remoulding us, its message is needed.”

The Mistress Contract by Abi Morgan - negotiating the rules of engagement between the sexes↗
"What this fine production achieves is to suggest a different approach to male-female relationships – one that defies conventional ideas of romance, but somehow seems, in this narrative at least, to level the playing-field between She and He in ways that make it possible for them to be together, right to the end."
★★★★ The Scotsman ★★★★ The Herald ★★★★ The List |
"There’s a deep artistry here and a searing vividness of imagination that leaves audiences shocked and subtly changed.”
★★★★ The Scotsman ★★★★ The Herald ★★★★ Exeunt ★★★★ Broadway Baby |
