Weaving together the stories of people who have experienced domestic abuse, we reclaim their narratives - empowering audiences to notice these signs personally and in others.

Faultlines is a powerful educational production addressing the urgent issue of domestic abuse. Through the voices of female, male and child survivors, this play and accompanying workshop sensitively examines how unhealthy dynamics such as lovebombing, gaslighting and coercive control can quietly take hold, escalating into physical violence.

Students are equipped to evaluate their own relationships and empowered to ask questions such as how do toxic relationships begin, why are the signs so easy to miss, and when freedom feels impossible, is there still a way out?  

"Students feedback was excellent, they recommended we have them back in to show other year groups as they felt the message was clear and important in today's society."

"It was a really inspiring day - I don't think you can ever truly measure the impact of days like this. I feel these messages will stay with students for a long time and hopefully help them make good relationship choices and help friends in difficult situations."

Preventative education production and workshop for KS3 and KS4 focusing on social media use, sexual harassment, consent, cyberbullying, AI and pornography.

Samantha is your typical “IT girl”. Her world revolves around TikTok dances, selfies and the latest trends. She’s got a big online following and even bigger dreams.

But riding high on ‘likes’ cannot last forever and cracks start to form in her once unbreakable friendship group. Truths get digitally twisted and an explicit image of Samantha gets exposed online in a way she cannot control. Will Samantha attempt to repair the damage to her online persona, or will she sit back helplessly and watch everything around her unravel? When filters can no longer mask the mess, Samantha and her friends are forced to face the issues in their own lives and deal with the consequences.

The production of Filters was incredibly empowering for young people. It delivered strong, thought-provoking messages that highlighted the realities of the digital world for today’s generation. A truly outstanding performance with meaningful takeaways for the entire audience.
