What would you do for love? Go back in time? Or look underwater?  And how far would you search for answers when the man of your dreams died 2,000 years ago?

As the grieving Petra begins to trawl through the lonely marshes of Lindow Moss, she finds far more than she bargained for. She finds him. An experimental dark comedy from Itchy Feet Theatre, Bog Body is a solo piece about a young woman’s marriage to the Lindow Man. Love, death, decay and desire intertwine in a bizarre and surreal tale.

Bog Body was Itchy Feet Theatre's debut Edinburgh Fringe show. It sold out its entire run, and was shortlisted for the Popcorn Writing Awards and the Edinburgh Horror Festival.

A heartbroken actor forges an unexpected connection. A disillusioned voter takes drastic action. A disgraced radio host fights to reclaim his reputation. And as a secret auction begins, hidden agendas come to light.

​

As four loosely connected plays weave together, sex, politics, money, and religion intertwine in a caustic reflection of contemporary Britain.

Under the Table by Aaron Thakar premiered at Barons Court Theatre in January 2025. A Parkhouse Theatres and Itchy Feet Theatre co-production.

The Nine-Day Queen follows 15-year-old Lena and Rita. When an attack puts Lena in a coma, Rita sits by her side for nine days. Wracked by survivor’s guilt and overcome by rage and grief, she hallucinates the ghost of Lady Jane Grey. For nine days, Rita and Jane teach each other to be brave in a world where women’s bravery can feel futile. An intergenerational exploration of female plight through the ages, The Nine-Day Queen interrogates female resistance and celebrates the power of sisterhood in the face of adversity.

Inspired by the events of the Depp v Heard trial, The Defamation by Jen Tucker visualises an afterlife where a woman’s fate is debated and decided by tribunal. But something is rotten in this court. When Charity, loosely based on Amber Heard, arrives in the afterlife, she meets several of Shakespeare’s heroines who are also doomed to await trial, and patterns begin to emerge. As the women prepare Charity for court, they discover that their stories are not so different. 

Written in blank verse, the play aligns the 16th and 21st century, plucking Shakespeare’s women from their original plays and placing them on one stage. As present and past interact, the play exposes the treatment of women in the legal sphere throughout history, investigating good and evil, as well as the nuanced spaces between. 

Trapped within a rigid binary of innocence and guilt, virtue and sin, the women of The Defamation interrogate what it means to be a woman scrutinised in the public eye and explore the complex landscape of modern celebrity culture.

The Defamation was performed as part of Riverside Studios' Bitesize Festival, where it received Runner Up: Best Writing
