Introducing… Make It

The time has come to unveil our next big project – Make It!

This brand new play is in the pipeline for 2026, and will be written by Caroline Lamb, directed by Kitty Ball and produced by Brontë Appleby.

As always, this piece is about something incredibly important to us.

It’s about how our creative industries are being gradually buried in a world that offers less and less space for colour.

It will form just one part of a wider project offering fresh opportunities and connections to local artists.

It’s perhaps darkly fitting that we could do with a couple of quid to help get it off the ground! If you can, please please donate via the link below and/or share the news far and wide across your networks.

Whatever you can do will be so very appreciated!

Another accolade for On Me!

We’re excited to announce that On Me has received an OffComm (OffWestEnd Commendation) award for our short run of On Me in Trafford and Bolton in May 2024!

Requirements for nomination were a minimum of three performances and at least two reviews of 4* or above, which we achieved – and, on 6th June, we received the exciting news that the show was a winner.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and here’s to more exciting On Me news in the future!

TRIGGER WARNING: On Me deals with themes of s*xual assault/r*pe, domestic violence, stalking and femicide

About the play

On Me by Caroline Lamb is an hour-long play focusing on the challenges of being a role model, ally, spontaneous romantic and potential victim all at once when chasing love in the post #MeToo era. The piece follows Shona and Christian, two up-and-coming actors who have been hired to work on a true crime docudrama. As filming progresses, their feelings for each other grow – along with fear, self-doubt, frustration and a creeping sense of danger.

In 2022, our production of On Me won the Off West End “OFFfest” award for its run on the Greater Manchester Fringe. The play was also shortlisted for the Write for the Stage prize for New Writing and the Greater Manchester Fringe award for Best Drama.

Upcoming event

Our performance at Waterside Arts in Sale will be followed by a short break, after which we will host a panel discussion featuring academics and frontline charity workers, as well as members of our creative team. The discussion will focus on the impact of Gender-Based Violence on communities and the work that is currently being undertaken to combat this very urgent issue. There will also be an opportunity for audience questions.

In order to provide support and signposting to audience members who have been affected by the themes of the play – and to highlight their vital work in the local community – representatives of Trafford-based charities will also be in attendance. Audience members will have the option to donate to these charities when booking tickets, or in person at the venue on the night.

We’re absolutely thrilled to be back with this exciting piece. Grab tickets while you can!

What better memento for such a fantastic project than a selection of gorgeous photographs of the show’s dress run, taken by talented and prolific arts photographer Shay Rowan? Take a look below for the fantastic images, captured at The Seven Oaks in Manchester.

Our Crowdfunder: The Last 20 Days!

We’re now in the last 20 days of our crowdfunder – and we need help to get over the finish line in time! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onme/on-me

This campaign will support the upcoming production of “On Me”: a brand new play that tackles gender based violence, sexual violence and femicide, with the action taking place on the set of a true crime documentary. The funds we raise will feed into the “match funding” for our Arts Council bid, enabling us to pay a set wage to our creative team. If we don’t hit our target, we get nothing at all.

The play is coming to the Greater Manchester Fringe this July (2022), and will be performed at The Seven Oaks on Nicholas Street from 27th – 30th July.

Every little helps – if you can give just £1, you’ll be supporting an independent theatre company and enabling us to hire creatives looking for North West UK theatre jobs in what could be a major stepping stone in their career. You’ll also help us to make a powerful contribution to the urgent fight against #GBV. We have some great rewards too, so you’ll get something in return for your contribution!

If you can’t donate, please share information about this campaign wherever you can.
