MY HEART WILL GO ON (FOR NOW)
by Pudding Club Production
My Heart Will Go On (for now) is a piece that explores themes of sacrifice, longing, and judgment. Under the watchful eyes of two mythological gods, Mary Morrigan and Jiutian Xuannü (Dark Lady), and set against a backdrop of catastrophe, the narrative invites the audience to engage deeply with Didi’s journey. This interactive experience prompts viewers to reflect on the moral implications of their decisions and the profound weight of sacrifice in their own lives, ultimately challenging them to reconsider what it means to choose between the greater good and individual worth. Is it morally justified to sacrifice the individual for the greater good of the masses?

NEVER LIES
by Alexandra Shaw
A street in Bayswater, London, 2022. A Ukrainian restaurant. A woman who migrated in her twenties and found family. A Russian shop. A woman who struggles with family and doesn’t want the rest of her twenties in hospitality.
A London-set Eastern European play of naturalism and comedy, Never Lies follows Vera and Lilia. As their lives change, the play explores intergenerational connection, mental health, romance, and aspiration while asking: to what extent does the political have to touch the personal?
Starring: Anastasia Martin, Irina Seleznyova, Alasdair Linn, Aaron Vodovoz
Directed by Konstantin Kamenski
Written & Produced by Alexandra Shaw
