Some Of Us Exist In The Future by Nkenna Akunna

Fresh off the plane from the UK, Chiamaka is new to Brooklyn and its extremes. Shes new to queer dating, to the realities of being an immigrant. Most of all, shes new to the voices of the gods… Utterly original, wryly funny and always gripping, Some Of Us Exist In The Future follows one womans search for a place to belong in a world thats not all it seems.

Ghost Stories from an Old Countryby Tajinder Singh Hayer

Amars older brother Dalvir has always told a good ghost story – properly unsettling, dark tales that send a chill right through Amars soul. But now Dalvirs almost a ghost himself, cloistered and secretive. Amar desperately wants his brother back, but can he unravel Dalvirs stories to reconnect with the only family he has left? Ghost Stories from an Old Country is a riveting and poignant exploration of the ties that bind us, threaded through with captivating fables.

The Silence and The Noise by Tom Powell

Every teenager knows what its like to be stuck between things: childhood and maturity, innocence and experience, hope for the future and uncertainty about what it might bring. But Daize is torn between even greater challenges: her love for her vulnerable mother and her dangerous friendship with Ant. An outsider with knockout trainers, Ant has just appeared on her doorstep, bringing with him a whole world of trouble. The Silence and The Noise beautifully captures the story of two young people on the edge.

All three plays were produced and premiered by Papatango and English Touring Theatre in 2021 as audio plays, presented to audiences via specially designed audio stations that toured UK theatres.
