SIBLIN6S (2023-2024)
After DAD has died, his six disparate children (a bride, a priest, a housewife, a Weimar Republic sex worker, a Hunter S. Thompson look-alike and a Prussian blank clerk) all return home to collide, connive, grieve, and celebrate with each other through loss, love and death. A surreal play about very different people coming from different places. A meditation on history, ageing and death.

< It is 2094, and Yotto and Dieter work for a government assisted-dying service as ‘Euthaniads’ – death-aids who meet each applicant’s dying wish without influencing their ultimate decision.
Mikayla Prior finds the service and applies to die. When she reveals her reason for doing so Yotto and Dieter respond very differently.
A three-act play about how mental illness intersects with euthanasia, and asks what professionalism, bureaucracy, and empathy look like when death is just another job.
Cast (3 people) / 2 women, 1 man.

The Euthaniads (2023-2024)
A lonely, gay psychologist, whose job begins to wear down his mental health. He gets worse, and his childhood imaginary friend – a beanie-baby dog called Wags – has reanimated to try and save him. This is a piece about gay male loneliness, anxiety and depression, alcohol misuse and reconnecting with childhood joy.
Cast (2 people) / 1 man, 1 unspecified.
