Dates: 03 Sep 2026 to 04 Sep 2026

The Acts is a genre-defying showcase of new writing from some of the UK’s boldest emerging theatremakers.

The programme includes:

• HOT COLD by Fran Bushe – a raw, funny dive into perimenopause and identity
• The Double Draw by Hannah Finn & Morgan Barbour / Duo Artemis – archery, duo acrobatics and physical theatre under the gaze of Artemis
• Ride the Wind by Jordan Charles – an Afro-fantasy musical weaving Yoruba mythology, puppetry and West African dance
• The Making of The Eye Show by Kat Bond – a bold satire blending clowning, stand-up and storytelling

The Acts brings disabled artists beyond expected boxes, presenting urgent, inventive and unapologetically original performance across two nights.
