Twelfth Night: 1941
Winter 2026
London, January 5, 1941. The Twelfth Night of Christmas.
Inspired by real events during the 1941 Blitz when actors performed Shakespeare amid air raids, Twelfth Night: 1941 follows a scrappy Shakespearean troupe determined to stage an 80-minute Twelfth Night for the benefit of their community just days after a devastating bombing. With their theater destroyed, rationing in full force, and a contraband Twelfth Night cake in tow, they move the show to a local pub, proving that even in wartime, the play must go on.
Peep by Jodi Gray (staged reading)
CAST: Ellyn Heald; Laura Carswell
PEEP is a darkly funny, unsettling play about the female gaze and the contradictions of modern sisterhood.
What begins as playful banter spirals into something sharper, as the women expose not only how patriarchy objectifies them, but how they have learned to objectify each other. With biting humor and uncomfortable honesty, PEEP confronts the toxicity of “girls for girls” feminism and the uneasy pleasures of being watched—and of watching back.
Format: Staged Reading
Duration: 60 Minutes
Gloaming
A reading of a screenplay based on a book* that was based on another book about teenage vampire romance
*written by someone who hadn’t read the book
(an unauthorized parody)
by Su Thomas Hendrickson
In the delirium of the 2020 lockdown, one woman succumbed to a delayed onset Twilight obsession, resulting in a feverishly idiosyncratic screenplay that sought to answer these questions. Cut for time to just 60 minutes, this is a staged reading of that screenplay: equal parts fan fiction, parody, and a commemoration of what being stir crazy can do to a person.
