If an object had consciousness, what would its thoughts be? What experience of the world would it have? And how would human beings look like from its perspective?
​
'Sandy' was a play that explored the unique place between reality and fantasy in which two similar and yet very different 'women' were able to meet, think, talk and
be themselves.
​
'Sandy' was a two hander play about femininity and womanhood which, by exploring an encounter between a woman and a “female” object, revealed their relationship to the world and the role they cover in society. Both characters long for freedom, but the expectations and definitions imposed on them make their goal almost - or fully - impossible to reach.
​
This production was originally performed as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, at the Salford Arts Theatre in 2021 before being performed at the Living Record Festival and Brighton Fringe Festival in 2022.
Reviews
The Greater Manchester Fringe Festival
The Greater Manchester Fringe first took place in 2012 with 6 different venues and a handful of shows in each. Since then then Greater Manchester Fringe has grown each year with more performances, more ticket sales and more venues taking part.
​
The festival is a multi-venue open access arts festival providing support for all art forms to show their work, creating an arts community, encouraging first time participation in arts production and performances across Greater Manchester.

The Living Record Festival
Created by the Living Records Theatre Company, 2021 was their first festival – and it happened entirely digitally!
Each festival participant had access to create their own microsite which served as a performance venue for their piece. Once a ticket was purchased a household could gain access to this page and watch the show.

The Brighton Fringe Festival
After our hugely successful run in 2021 at the Manchester Fringe Festival and an online version earlier in 2022 as part of the Living Records Festival, we were extremely delighted to take Sandy on tour and travel across the country to be a part of the Brighton Fringe Festival!
​
We are also performed an updated version of script that further explored the themes that make Sandy so loved and unique by it's audience! We received an incredibly reception from all who watched.
​
We performed in Rotunda Theatre's pop-up venue 'the Bubble' which was situated in Regency Square. More information about Rotunda Theatre can be found here
