Void
Synopsis:
"Space - unknown. Until I saw glimpses of scattered stars above calling out to me as flickers of hope. Not only did they shine, but stayed vacant in the sky to remind me that whilst I was bathing in this element of mine, I will find light where dark lives, and always a way to look up to...breathe"
We all have a choice, freedom, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Audience members reviews:
“Void is a play that examines mental health and the effects our internal struggles have on our outside world. It depicts the loneliness and fear which can come hand in hand with feeling like you are the only one who experiences these feelings. I can only hope that in the future more theatre will begin to make space for the honesty of living with mental health struggles in the way Void does.”
\"You will definitely walk away thinking\"
\"It\'s awareness and everything. The acting was wonderful, the set design, the artistry\"
