Another Someone

Synopsis:
Could anybody be happy being nobody? Happiness is what it's all about - how to be happy. Happiness feels like pancakes for breakfast, a squidgy parcel through the letterbox, new shoes, the distant smell of garlic and onions frying. Happiness feels like being the best, like winning, like getting an A, like people knowing who you are. Combining drama, live music and passionate physicality, RashDash look at young people living in a world where ordinary isn't good enough.

Honeymoon, The

Synopsis:
Charlotte and Sophie were going to make the perfect wives. Suddenly it no longer seemed possible. They wrestle, yell, sing, dance, dream, fight, hope and love like no one is watching. RashDash take a romp through what happens when we cut our ties and expose ourselves to life. They revel in live music and full bodied physicality that is heartfelt and joyfully irreverent.

Oh, I Can't Be Bothered

Synopsis:
Bea and Dee stand with their noses pressed together in an empty room. They sit in the bath and sing Lady GaGa. Dee falls over. Bea lifts her up. They are scared that the world will end before they do, they are scared they might not love anyone else as much as they love each other. They don't fancy each other, but does that matter? They're going to change the world. They're going to watch the next episode of Made In Chelsea.

Scary Gorgeous

Synopsis:
Abbi thinks Helen is exciting. Helen thinks Abbi will look good in her band. In the photos they look like the best of friends. This is a story about the pictures that tell us how to live and love. This is a story about a girl and a boy very much in love. This show's scary and it's gorgeous. There's a band, there's singing, there's dancing. It s noisy, it s messy and it s alive. It's about sex. And sexiness. And the difference. And it's about love. And love. And love.

Two Man Show

Two Man Show
Two women play two women playing two men. RashDash return with a playful new show about gender and language. A story of power with a strong theme of love running through the narrative. John and Dan keep hearing people say that men have all the power, but it doesn't feel like that to them. Abbi and Helen are making a show about Man and men. They want to talk about masculinity and patriarchy but the words that exist aren't good enough, so there's music and dance too. It's loud and raucous.

Ugly Sisters, The

Synopsis:
Once upon a time there was us - Ruby and us. Ruby was our mum. She had to work a lot. We played in the burnt out car round the back. We could do anything - except play with the needles. Then everything changed, and there were bright lights and loud noises and flashing cameras. And there was her, and she was different. Everyone loved her. . .Whoever holds the pen writes the story. With thumping drums, clanging keys and violent voices RashDash tell the real story of Cinderella. A sinister and sensuous cabaret with an anarchic blend of live music and high-energy performance

We Want You To Watch

Synopsis:
This is about pornography. This is an interview. This is an intervention. This is an interrogation. We're recording now. We want to pull its plug out. We want to stop its heartbeat. We want to blow its brains out and begin again. We know exactly what we're doing. We're not stupid.
