“A little less Attenborough, more cybernetic furry Louis Theroux”
Winner of the Baloney Award 2023
Emperor Spy Cam A10N3 has returned from his Antarctic investigation for the BBC. In his performance review he’ll be covering his infiltration of a penguin colony, struggles to adapt to their complex and contradictory society, and his code-breaking feelings towards one of the subjects.
A bizarre, irreverent comedy about depersonalisation and the neurodivergent experience through the ‘lens’ of an undercover robotic penguin.

One ‘invisible illness’, lots of puppets, a self-deprecating actor, far too many biscuits and a sprinkle of absurdity all can be found in the room upstairs. But can you handle the journey up?
This atmospheric show raises awareness of ME, an ‘invisible illness’, through the lens of a mother/daughter relationship. Based on true events, this play with original compositions explores how this condition gradually penetrates every element of someone’s life and proves how sometimes laughter is not only the best medicine, but often the only one that’s available.
