To Capture The Wildlife
Etcetera Theatre
Can a chance encounter ignite a friendship that transcends the trials and tribulations of life, love, and loss? To Capture the Wildlife is a musical about grief, young love, and navigating the pain of life and death. Struggling after the tragic loss of her mother, Morgan has a chance meeting with a mysterious girl in a graveyard. Soon, they begin to meet there every week and grow closer. Set in a graveyard with a two-person cast, this intimate, emotional show follows Morgan and the Girl as they share their joys, pains and struggles. With a track list of evocative original songs, To Capture the Wildlife illustrates how hope and young love stand strong in the face of grief and disillusionment with the modern world: beauty can be found in the small moments and places where you least expect it. “Profound, intricate, and deeply captivating” (5 stars, Durham Palatinate) To Capture the Wildlife opened to critical acclaim in February 2026 at Durham Drama Festival and makes its London premiere as part of Camden Fringe.
Backstage
The Libra Theatre Cafe
A volunteer. A backstage tour. A room she can never quite find again. After being invited backstage following a cabaret performance aboard a luxury cruise ship, Lena expects nothing more than a brief look behind the curtain before returning to her cabin. Instead, she discovers a world that feels strangely ordinary. The crew are warm. The routines are comforting. Every corridor seems familiar. Every door appears to lead somewhere. Yet no one can tell her how to return to the passenger cabins. As rehearsals blend into daily life and performances become indistinguishable from reality, Lena must decide whether she is simply lost—or quietly becoming part of the backstage herself. Backstage is an original psychological thriller combining live magic, dark comedy, and surreal theatre. Set entirely behind the scenes of a cruise ship cabaret, it explores memory, identity, belonging, and the quiet ways we can lose ourselves inside places that make us feel unexpectedly at home. For anyone who has ever said, "I'll leave tomorrow."
Language of Joe and Cho
Etcetera Theatre
"What happens when the mask you wear online becomes the person you can’t escape in real life?" "And What happens your online persona causes a collision in your physical reality and your family?" "What are you going to do if that triggers the issues you've been ignoring for years?" Cho is a university student living a double life. To his father in South Korea, he is a dedicated son on the verge of graduation. To his thousands of anonymous subscribers, he is a rising far-right provocateur. With his father arriving in London for their first meeting in 15 years, Cho’s carefully curated world begins to fracture. When a "doxing" attack exposes his identity during a live stream, the digital vitriol spills into the physical world. Stalked, threatened, and cornered, Cho must navigate a collapsing web of lies before his father discovers the truth. Blending autobiographical elements with a gripping fictional narrative, Language of Joe and Cho is an intense one-actor exploration of digital radicalisation, familial duty, and the violent collision between our online personas and physical reality.
Charon Goes West
Etcetera Theatre
A caveman, a pirate, a granny, and an AI step onto a boat. Or their souls do, anyway. CHARON GOES WEST is a new dark comedy for the London stage. Fifty minutes, ten souls, and one man who has absolutely no idea why his cosmic debt keeps going up. Charon is a ferryman. His friends call him Charlie, or they would if he had any friends. Every day (or whatever passes for a day outside of time) he picks up the recently deceased at the eastern docks and rows them west to their final destination. He knows, when each soul boards, that they're headed for the Bad Place. But if they can face themselves honestly over the course of the crossing, they can change their fate. Charlie wants them to win. He just can't do it for them. What he can do is provide unmatched customer service. And this comes in the form of people-pleasing, mirroring his client-souls, contorting himself to the point of unrecognisability. To cope, he hits the coffee, flask, and cigs on rotation between rides. Whatever it takes to get through the day. His debt, tracked on a glowing monitor upstage like a cosmic game show, keeps climbing. He doesn't understand why. We begin to suspect. Then his girlfriend boards. And by the end, his own mother. This is a play about the gap between being nice and being honest, and what each one costs. It's also about the liminal space between life and death and the places we need to go to come home. Welcome to the River Styx. Step in for the ride of your life.

Bathroom
Etcetera Theatre
Humankind is often arrogant and self-centred, understanding others solely through their own perspective. We yearn for unity, yet overlook a fundamental truth: two whirlpools can only merge when both their direction and velocity satisfy exacting conditions. Tonight, the light in the rented flat's bathroom flickered out. That loving couple seemed to be arguing about something. The man insisted he loved her deeply, yet to her, it felt otherwise. I knew that woman must love him profoundly, but why couldn't he sense it? I saw two whirlpools beside the drain, spinning and spinning, yet they simply wouldn't merge... The audience witnesses their quarrel, their wounds, their bloodshed, yet cannot simply judge right from wrong. Here, love is both tender and razor-sharp. Through intensely concentrated spatial storytelling, we aim to immerse the audience within an emotional vortex, prompting a profound re-examination of ‘relationships’.

Grave Matters
Lion & Unicorn Theatre
Get your shovels — we’re going to the cemetery. Miss Y, a Mexican Catholic schoolteacher living in Cardiff, has been detained after being caught digging up a grave at dawn. She insists she had a good reason. The police would beg to differ. What follows is less an investigation than a misalignment between belief and evidence, care and legality, the living and the dead. Unfamiliar traditions collide with procedure. The supernatural hovers — never confirmed, never dismissed. As the police attempt to make sense of Miss Y’s story, cultural traditions, religious belief and institutional logic begin to clash in increasingly strange and darkly comic ways. By turns dry, unsettling and unexpectedly tender, Grave Matters is a surreal horror-comedy about grief, belief and bureaucratic confusion — exploring what happens when systems unequipped to recognise grief attempt to measure devotion using the wrong tools.

A show of three intertwining perspectives fusing personal stories, musicality, and movement.

Dünyada
The Cockpit
“I’m not from here.” A man arrives with a suitcase, a camera, and a voice that seems sad somehow. He speaks of homeland, parents, lost loves, strange customs... the narrative unravels into a mosaic of unfinished thoughts and philosophical detours; A microphone picks up his distorted speech; A camera captures his eyes, lips, old photos, debris, and you... too. Images appear behind him, what it means to be seen? This August, internationally acclaimed actor and director Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu brings his visceral, high-intensity solo performance Dünyada to Camden Fringe. Reimagining Will Eno’s celebrated monologue Title and Deed, the production arrives in London fresh from Istanbul’s underground theatre scene, offering an evocative exploration of migration, identity drift, and the fragile necessity of being witnessed in a digital age. Dünyada, meaning “in the world”, is a formally adventurous solo theatre that tears the fabric of one-person play through cinematic camera work, visual extension and sound design. Nuroğlu performs a dual role as both actor and live cinematographer, walking the thin line between the mundane duties of keeping things going and the emotional disorder of remembering (like all of us). In a raw, technical struggle, he manages lighting and soundscapes in real-time, creating a parallax between his physical body and his digital ghost. The production transforms the audience from mere spectators into active material, as the camera turns to film the watchers, projecting their silent presence into the heart of the monologue. Intimate, funny, unsettling, and deeply, deeply human. Dünyada. A salute to the progress in life, to being here, now, right now. On stage.
