The Sexual Awakening of Peter Mayo is a comical look at the rules and rituals that govern the lives of people who use the internet to find anonymous sex.

A story of women and astronomy

In ancient civilisations, temple priestesses meticulously mapped the heavens, seeking to understand their gods. And so Astronomy was born.

This is a story of Time and Space: two women astronomers, Jessica Bell from the twenty first century and Caroline Herschel from the eighteenth look up at the same night sky and find themselves colliding in their search for understanding. Caroline longs for a family and home of her own; Jess contemplates the prospect of losing both.

Each woman can precisely map her position in the universe yet she struggles to find her place in the world.

“the audience choked on the bared emotions and the wonderment of people seeing deep space for the first time” The Guardian, John Vidal.
