What are we going to do when this is all over? - Split Infinitive Theatre
A play about the memories we hope we never forget and the ones we know we should…
Helen and Alexander have been creating theatre together for a number of years, but as Helen's memory begins to fail and they realise this is something worse than just brain fog, Alexander begins to discover things Helen has been hiding from him for years. Helen's secrets begin to be revealed as the play comes to its dramatic climax. When Alexander realises Helen's desires are darker than he ever imagined, he tries to cover her tracks, putting himself in the firing line. The play's dramatic conclusion may very well be the end of Helen and Alexander forever.
Incorporating Split Infinitive's signature interactive/immersive and autobiographical style of performance, what are we going to do when this is all over? shows a darker side to memory loss, marriage, and how far we will go to protect the ones we love.
what are we going to do when this is all over? is supported by National Lottery Funding through Arts Council England.
Taking place at Underground at Spring Gardens on 10th, 12th and 18th July at 4pm and 17th July at 8.30pm, the play features strong language, adult themes, themes of child abuse and sexual assault.

Tell Me Where it Hurts - Teepee Productions
Award-winning theatre company Teepee Productions brings its powerful new
comedy-drama Tell Me Where It Hurts to audiences across the UK this July, September and October. Supported by Arts Council England, The PMDD Project and developed with dramaturgical support from National Theatre's New Writing Studio, the production shines a vital spotlight on Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) through a deeply human, emotionally honest story that balances humour, heart and hard truths. It will be at Underground at the Working Men’s Club on July 22, 24 and 25 at 5.15pm and July 23 at 8.15pm.
The play follows Chrissy, a dedicated drama teacher struggling to navigate life,
relationships and work while living with PMDD, as she mentors Annie, a talented student preparing for a life-changing audition. Together, the pair confront the frustration of feeling unheard in a world that too often dismisses women’s pain and mental health experiences.
Presented by Teepee and Joe Brown and written by Teepee Productions co-founder, Tayla Kenyon, Tell Me Where It Hurts continues the company’s commitment to creating socially engaged theatre that sparks conversation and champions underrepresented voices. Following acclaimed audience responses during its development phase, the production now embarks on a wider UK tour, inviting audiences to experience a story that is as entertaining as it is urgently
Important.
