OVERWHELM
BY STACEY CULLEN
“HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO HELP ANYONE WHEN YOU CAN’T EVEN HELP YOURSELF?”
Jake has barely left the flat in months. Miles is moving on with his life. And Riley may be sinking below rock bottom… perhaps even six feet under. Jake is determined to pull Riley out of the mire, but how can he help someone else when he can’t even help himself?
From the award-winning team that brought you Sessions, “a strong, convincing two-hander about generational cycles of offending…”, Working Progress Collective’s newest project explores male loneliness, the dangers of online radicalization, and addiction.
Overwhelm premiered at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre in April 2025.
This summer, it will also play at both the Greater Manchester Fringe (Salford Arts Theatre) and the Buxton Festival Fringe (Underground Venues).

Her, In Pieces
at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, in association with Northern Spirit Theatre Company.
Being a woman has never been easy. With the rise of far-right views on traditional gender norms and endless attacks on the trans community, we’re arguably headed backward. But we will not be silenced, and we will not go down without a fight.
Her, In Pieces is a night of three new pieces about the varied experiences of women and femmes — the pain, the joy, the confusion, the madness, all on full display. Get ready to get messy. Figuratively and literally.
Jamie, once a talented young sommelier, is on a downward spiral… Scent is a solo show about the iron grip of grief, the unwieldiness of love, and the joy and the pain of remembering.
When do mothers stop being autonomous women? A Madness is a reimagining of Medea, the classic Greek tragedy by Euripides, through the lens of post-natal depression and psychosis. A simplified two-hander between Medea and Nurse, within the walls of Corinth Psychiatric Hospital.
Two queer, deeply neurodivergent women try to work through their hang-ups around femininity and sexuality. Sex Scenes seeks to ask — is it possible to be a woman who enjoys sex without being labelled a slut? Especially when you’re THIS awkward???
