Highest Mountain Fastest River aims to evoke the refugee experiences of the Hmong people. Disconnected character journeys and stylised movement are used in order to avoid sensationalism and melodrama. In our production, four actors continually transformed into new characters. However, the play can be performed by a larger cast.

Theodora's hung around nuns, been transported by Bach, wept at the beauty of the Sufis, and underlined everything in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. She also loves Celeste: their life together is abundant, bliss ridden, meant-to-be, made in Heaven. . . or is it? How can she find a home for her spiritual instincts whan religions condemn the very love of her life? Pushing past the pontiffs of dogma, Theodora sets out to reconcile her two sources of joy. While entrusted with the body of a fractal-loving priest, she sings with evolved fish who live in fruitcakes: stops Mother Church passing pethidine to a man who is pregnant with possibility: takes the helm of Magellan's ship and circumnavigates the ever-expanding universe; and dives off the edge of chaos to discover the beginnings of a millennial pendulum swing towards conscience and radical compassion. It's Monty Python and The Science Show meets existential angst! A genre-crossing adventure through a chaotically absurd landscape.

Spirit is one of a series of short plays collectively titled The Seven Needs. Each play is discrete and takes as its theme one of Maslow's pyramid of human needs: food, shelter, sex, safety, belonging, respect and spirit. The plays may be performed separately or together, and were written by members of the playwrights' alliance 7on.

The King has beheaded his Queen. The desperate outsiders she hid in his kingdom have been locked up, and he has vowed to execute them, one by one, each dawn. But, disguised as the next outsider due to die, Shahrazad tells stories to the King. Strange and amazing stories about merchants and fishermen, Ali Baba and bandits, kings and professors, calligraphers and demons. The King ponders her stories of greed and foul play until, finally, his fury is subdued. Thanks to Shahrazad, he relinquishes his vow. The outsiders are released and anyone who seeks help in the King's land is now welcome.
