Current Projects

Stuffed
Stuffed is a comedy drama about infertility, written by Holly McFarlane and inspired by co-creator Lucy Joy Russell’s experience of IVF. It lifts the lid on a process that can be tragic, heart-warming and ridiculous – often all at the same time.
Stuffed is currently in script development with the Macrobert Theatre in Stirling, with Douglas Maxwell as dramaturg.
Rural Touring Project
The Rural Touring Project is a research and development initiative exploring how original theatre can be presented in village halls and community spaces across Scotland. The project centres on a temporary in-the-round performance structure designed to transform local venues into intimate theatre environments.
