WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO

Every project we bring to life starts with a simple idea: to tell stories that connect, create space for curiosity, and bring people together.

​

From original live theatre productions and international tours to collaborative artist residencies and community workshops, we’ve had the privilege of building unforgettable creative experiences both at home and beyond. Each project reflects our commitment to play, accessibility, and bold storytelling.

​

Take a look back at some of the productions, events, and collaborations that have shaped our journey so far.

About the Project

Shhh! is a wordless physical comedy inspired by the work of Trygve Wakenshaw. Following a successful run in Vietnam with 15 performances in Saigon and three at ATH in Hanoi, the show made its international debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a 26-performance run at the Gilded Balloon Teviot. There, Shhh! earned critical acclaim, receiving five-star reviews and winning the Asia Arts Award for Best Children's Show.​​​

​

Synopsis​

Inspired by the silly, timeless humor of Charlie Chaplin, Mr. Bean and classic cartoons.

 

Follow a quirky, daydreaming Vietnamese schoolgirl on a journey to discover their true calling. As the mundane routines of school life twist into unexpected and imaginative adventures, transcending time and space, a heartwarming story of purpose and self-discovery unfolds. 

 

Shhh! reminds us that our dreams, like the objects mime can create, are often hidden in plain sight. That purpose isn't a destination, but a reality we finally see, one that has been within us on our journey all along.

About the Project

The Boarders is an original play exploring the intersecting lives of two women, one British and one Vietnamese, shaped by their time in the British boarding school system.

​​​

Synopsis​

Welcome to British boarding school. Yes, it’s Hogwarts - but without the magic, the sorting hat, or a decent defence against the dark arts. The Boarders follows two women, one British and one Vietnamese, as they swap childhood tales of tuck boxes, tormentors, and the type of emotional neglect that builds character (or a very good therapist’s pension). What was promised as an educational privilege turns out to be more like a crash course in abandonment, shame, and how to iron your socks right for inspection. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s satire, courtroom drama, and at least one moment where the audience wonders if they too need therapy. The Boarders: proof that trauma shared is trauma halved (and also quite decent theatre).
