Summary

What happens when your story is unfinished... and you're desperate to be heard?

Rehearsals for a new play are thrown into chaos when four mysterious strangers appear. They’re not actors, and they’re not the audience. They are characters, and all they're demanding is for their untold story to be brought to life. As reality and performance begin to blur, a director faces a choice: dismiss their plea, or risk everything to stage a drama that’s already too real.

This adaptation dares you to question what it means to perform… or simply, to be. Buckle up. The fourth wall won’t protect you this time.

PRESENTED BY HERDING CATS:

We are Herding Cats, an amateur drama group based between Nottingham and Derby. Organizing us? Well… it’s like herding cats! Yet, every year, despite the chaos, we come together to create something truly magical on stage. We always promise to be more organized next time, but let’s be honest, beautiful madness is just part of our nature. Because theatre isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.
