  • No Particular Order by Joel Tan

    No Particular Order by Joel Tan
    Apr 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    A 300 year epic told through 17 minute portraits, Joel Tan's No Particular Order is a very heavy going, incredible piece of writing detailing the rise and fall(?) of an unnamed despot in an unnamed country in an unnamed time.

    We talk war, dictatorships, and whether ART can ever do justice to the atrocities that so many must suffer.

  • Design for Living by Noël Coward

    Design for Living by Noël Coward
    Mar 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Noël Coward has a legendary reputation - and this play lives up to it!

    Otto, Gilda and Leo all love each other, but due to the world's boring machinations they must keep trying out monogamy - can they, as a three, discover a new... design for living????

    We talk throuples, flouncy theatre comedy, and the timelessness of trying to find a new... design for living.

    We're doing a musical! And trying our very best to discuss the published script rather than the four thousand different live shows that Nancy has obsessively watched.

    This 2013 show is an adaptation of the controversial book (and cult film) American Psycho, but infused with synth and backflips. Strongly recommend listening to the soundtrack for this one as well as reading the play - although for reasons discussed these will! not! match!

    We talk psychology, stock markets, and the relevancy of this kind of guy today.
