Alma is a jazz singer. She just needs to get through this residency. Michael is the young saxophonist in her house band. He makes model houses out of matchsticks.

Thrown together weekly in a shared dressing room, their initial reluctance gives way to mutual curiosity — but can their growing connection last, or will it go up in flames?

A darkly comedic exploration of structural discrimination through the unlikely metaphor of moths, which aims to leave you feeling hopeful in the face of adversity and motivated to keep fighting.

Stuck in a forgotten light trap, one moth can do nothing but wait for the inevitable. Having grudgingly accepted their fate, the arrival of a second moth – who, upon learning of this impending doom, is intent on escape – irritates them intensely. Can they be convinced to get out? Is escape even possible?

The play has been staged by Beyond Face on a number of occasions.

Forced to migrate due to climate change, Zoya, Anu and Dev embark on journeys that will see them sacrifice almost everything.

Wet Bulb is a reverse-chronology play about displacement, forced migration, love and loss, and the endurance of the human spirit.

Zoya leaves behind her childhood friend Amil, who she would have married. Dev loses his brother Jai in a refugee camp to a preventable disease. Anu thinks that things will not affect her, and yet they do.

The opening scene was performed as a short play for two nights at the Drayton Arms Theatre in July 2024. The script was later longlisted for Tara Theatre’s NOVA Seed Commissions 2024/25.
