​

Highly Inflammable

Inspired by the music of punk legend Poly Styrene, Highly Inflammable is set in two equally explosive eras - 1977 and post-Brexit Britain.

​

The play uses Poly’s prophetic lyrics and ideas to explore very modern day problems. Or are they?

Queen’s Crescent

Thrill of a Lifetime
