What's This?
13 - 23 NOVEMBER | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
What's This?
VENUE
Have you seen my heart? My skin, my body or my thoughts? Where do I fit?
What’s this?
“Maybe I will find my heart buried under the ticking floorboards of a masquerade party guarded by a little black cat.”
“If I exist for you, do I exist at all?
Why can’t I manipulate my world until I feel in control? Sometimes life feels like a long haul flight, all I have is thyme.”
An ensemble of solos that explore the complexities of the human condition. Featuring autobiographical work, and inspiration from Edgar Allen Poe, the graduates of The National Drama School ask the question What’s This?

Our AT THEATRE WORKS program is for artists, companies or works that align with some but not all of our values as an organisation. We co-present these works with the independent artists and organisations. Works within this programming stream receive marketing support, technical support, free venue use and a generous box office split but largely we give them the keys and get out of their way.
