ABOUT THE PLAYS

Here Lies Henry

If you’ve ever dreamt of being naked in front of a crowd of strangers … come see Henry. If you have ever given a speech but not had time to prepare, forgotten a punch-line, if you have ever bent the truth (even just a little) … come see Henry. With the promise of life, love and laughter, with the promise of the stage (and all the magic therein) … Here Lies Henry is more than just a treat to experience; it is an eye opening treatise on the art of lying and the nature of truth itself. We hope you can make it out.

This Is A Play

When you watch a play a world is created for you full of stories and characters. However, to find yourself listening in on the thoughts of the actors as they move about on stage can be mildly unsettling, startlingly revealing, and uproariously hilarious! Exposed to the turmoil of each actor’s inner thoughts, the evening’s true story will rise to the surface and you will discover why This Is A Play.
