Harry is a 25-year-old theatre-maker and poet from Southern England, currently based in East Dunbartonshire.

Taking an experimental approach to theatre-making, his practice is heavily influenced by participatory and postdramatic styles of performance. His work explores themes of late-stage capitalism, the crisis in democracy, climate breakdown, colonialism/neocolonialism, surveillance and the impact of technology. Harry’s play ‘if not this then that’ will debut at the Camden People’s Theatre’s SPRINTFEST in March 2025.

Molly McGrath is an actor, writer and recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is passionate about telling stories that are bold in both style and content. Fiercely theatrical, she enjoys exciting the senses of an audience, creating deeply immersive spaces. Her work is focused on interrogating convention; finding the universal within the specific.
