What the hell does it even mean to be GREat?

And at what cost?

Out of 117 billion people who have ever lived on this earth, only 38 have been bestowed the title of ‘the Great’ in history. So, what the hell does it even mean to be great?

Frederick an artistic, book-loving, anti-war, queer man, born into a world where greatness is defined by the bodies amassed on the battlefield, did not appear destined for the title of 'Great.'

This historical drama follows Frederick's tumultuous rise to the throne; outwitting his abusive father, battling the fierce Maria Theresa, and falling in love with Prussia's best solider, Hans Herman Von Katte.

The Making of Frederick the Great places this true love story at the heart of history, boldly redefining the narrative of what it means to be great.

The Lancashire Witches

would you die for your belief?

It's 1612 Lancashire, the local women face trial for witchcraft. Watch as they fight for their lives in this gripping, immersive courtroom drama.

The Lancashire Witches is a new-writing play based on the true story of witch trials that targeted impoverished Northern women. This untold story follows the women as they fight to save their community from being murdered for 'witchcraft.' This story is central to Pendle's local history and the most well-recorded witch trials in Europe. The story is wildly entertaining with feuding families, hysterical Kings and ambitious witch hunters. However, this is more than a historical drama, it aims to expose the continuing failure of the government to support Northern people. This play shows audiences the conditions that allowed this to occur and that not much has changed...
