Body on Board
Presented by Banton Theatre, 15+
Inspired by Scottish poem o’Shanter, this dark comedy follows three friends on a road trip from London to the Scottish Highlands while tackling generational struggles in a world where fairytales come to life. It tackles themes of family, identity, and community. Pulling from the experiences of disabled, queer and Black communities combined with the cultural myths of werewolves and transformation from Scottish and Caribbean culture. It explores feeling out of place as young disabled people. It asks the question of where you think you should belong, and where you do belong. The play is a comedic response to the current state of UK’s LGBT+ rights and what that means for young people's voices being silenced. We specifically use old Jamaican and Scottish tales to create a throughline from past to present. Playing on the warnings and lessons taught in these stories to bring our characters into a future we as a community feel they can live in.
A Lady Does Not Scratch Her Crotch

A Lady Does Not Scratch Her Crotch by Celeste Cahn, 9pm
In this whirlwind one-woman show, our hero seeks the help of feather-dusters, three blondes and even you, the audience, to figure out how she's supposed to dress, act, kiss and love like a lady. But not too much.
Written and performed by Celeste Cahn, with additional direction by Francesca Hsieh (asst. dir. Vanya Duke of York’s Theatre) this Standing Ovation Nominated show explores how growing up in the shadow of a particular Disney Princess can be confusing, confining and, at times, consuming. It deals with themes of gender, sexuality, femininity, masculinity, and growing up.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl - not a princess or pretty girl waiting to be a princess. Her hair was always in her face. No dress fanned out as she sat. She could barely sit in a dress. She saw no happily ever after on the horizon. From princesses to periods, a look at gender, sexuality, and the near impossibility of growing up.
