Limitations
“Libby, Libby, Libby, Libby…”
Vision
Since its very inception, theatre has been on the brink of death, ready to fade away into a lost art form at any minute.
Limitations examines this perceived death not through the now, but through a future so dependent on technology that face to face communication operates as little more than myth.
Through a mixed media performance combining live theatre with film, Libby and Toby rediscover theatre, themselves, and each other.
Just as theatre is always dying, so to shall it always be born again and again.

Readyman
“Do I have your consent to rescue you?”
Vision
Government sponsored superhero Readyman thinks he’s long overdue for a promotion, but his employer, Agent Silk, doesn’t seem to agree. As such, Readyman only sees one path forward -striking out on his own.
When a woman goes missing, Readyman sees it as the perfect case to prove himself on, only to find out the very wing he works for are the ones responsible.
When there’s no turning back, it’s up to Readyman and his begrudging roommate Craig (later Craigmanman) to save the missing woman and take down Agent Silk and his fabric footsoldiers.

The Haber Collection
“The monster who fed the world.”
Vision
It’s the early 1900’s, and the world is running out of ammonia fertilizer. Without an alternative, the world over shall surely starve.
It is the actions of one man, in one laboratory, that changed the face of the twentieth century and stopped global famine, forever cementing himself as a global hero and saving billions. That man was Fritz Haber.
It’s World War One, and Germany is desperate to gain an advantage. Without a breakthrough, Germany is certain to lose.
It is the actions of one man, in one laboratory, that changed the face of the twentieth century and introduced chemical weapons to the battlefield, forever cementing himself as a war criminal and killing millions. That man was Fritz Haber.
How do we remember Fritz Haber today? Do we remember him?
What about his wife?
