SUMMARY:Birdcatcher - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:A darkly comic drama about a teenage girl navigating life inside a doomsday cult. \nSet in East Yorkshire\, the play shines a light on the murky\, repressive underworld of religious “high control groups” in the UK – and asks how you find yourself in a world you think is about to end. \nPentabus is the Nation’s Rural Theatre. This inaugural production is directed by BAFTA winning Artistic Director Elle While (Mother Courage\, Richard III Shakespeare’s Globe) and written by rising star and award-winning playwright Laura Waldren\, whose first play Some Demon won the 2023 Papatango Prize.

SUMMARY:The Butterfly Project - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:“If they’re going to fetishise me\, I’m going to do it right back.” \nA Japanese stewardess and a British pilot walk onto a plane. 30 years later\, their son Joey is thinking of ending things with his Italian boyfriend. \nTurning to his parents’ interracial relationship for guidance\, he embarks on a journey to connect with his roots. \nBut as Joey learns more about his family\, a pattern begins to emerge: the notes of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly underscore a century of Asian misrepresentation\, orientalism\, and exoticisation. \nConnecting Milan to Nagasaki\, Hong Kong to London\, The Butterfly Project is an irreverent look at the stories that shape us\, whether we like it or not. \nOriginally produced by Undone Theatre\, presented by Kakilang and Undone Theatre\, The Butterfly Project is part of Kakilang’s 20th anniversary season\, touring across the UK in 2027.
