ANNOUNCING THE AGORA IV We’re back with our fourth Agora political scratch night! Coming to Glasgow in July! More information to follow soon! ———————————————————————— In ancient Athens, the Agora meant the marketplace, but is was so much more; it was the vibrant heart of the city, where the community gathered to ignite ideas and debate the very future of democracy. It was the birthplace of bold conversation and courageous thought. We’re bringing that same fiery spirit to our stage. The Agora is a political scratch night—a powerful new platform for fearless new ideas. We’re channeling the ancient Greeks, using theatre as a vehicle for essential discussion, social justice, and artistic revolution. This is an evening of short plays, extracts, and concept pieces, each a spotlight on an urgent social issue. These are the voices of emerging creatives who have something vital to say. They are here to challenge, to provoke, and to inspire!

A Night of Anton Chekhov: The Proposal Lots of photos from The Proposal here! What an experience we had! Hopefully we gave you some laughs, some introspection, and proved to you how great Chekhov is! Thank you to @fredmonster2004 for the 📸

A Night of Anton Chekhov: Swansong Some photos from the the second play! Thank you to @fredmonster2004 for the 📸

A Night of Anton Chekhov: The Bear Some photos from the show! We had a lovely time performing for you all in Liverpool! Til the next time!

ANNOUNCING: A NIGHT OF CHEKHOV A triple-bill of Chekhov’s finest shorts! Join us for an evening dedicated to Anton Chekhov’s short masterpieces. This evening features three of the Russian master’s most beloved short plays. Experience the fiery battle of the sexes in The Bear, the hauntingly beautiful reflections of an aging actor in Swansong, and the frantic chaos of failed romance in The Proposal. From explosive arguments over property and pedigree to quiet moments of theatrical nostalgia, these three masterpieces prove that while the world may change, the absurdity of the human heart remains timeless. Join us for a night of quick wit, high drama, and the bittersweet humor that only Chekhov can provide! Brought to you by @offtopic_theatre in collaboration with @tiredhorsestheatre Tickets available now! Via Tiredhorsestheatre.co.uk Thank you to our hosts at @studio_below_and_beyond !

THE AGORA II - DATE AND VENUE 🏛️ We are pleased to announce that The Agora will take place at theoldhairdressers on the 19th of June 2025! Tickets will be Pay What You Can with a recommended £10 donation. They are available to purchase now from our website! Link in bio! ——— THE AGORA II - A political scratch night The term Agora is Greek for 'open place of assembly’. The Agora was where the community congregated to discuss events of the day; politics, religion, philosophy, and legal matters. It later designated the open-air marketplace of a city. The Agora served the same purpose in ancient Athens as the town square and town hall in later societies. It was the centre of the athletic, artistic, business, social, spiritual, and political life in the city. The Athenian Agora is frequently referenced as the birthplace of democracy since it was here that political discussions and arguments gave rise to that concept. It is that open spirit of discussion that we wish to encapsulate. A new platform for new ideas, channeling the ancient Greeks by using theatre as a vehicle for political and philosophical debate and conversation. The Agora serves as a place to explore social justice issues and make political commentary, in the hopes of igniting conversations and inspiring change. An evening of short plays/ extracts that each seek to spotlight an issue around social justice. All from and performed by emerging creatives. Followed by a discussion of each play and their themes. The Agora is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to bring a new story, discussion, or style to the stage. Whether it be a part of a larger project, an experimentation, or simply airing out a concept to a new audience.

MALION RETURNS! In a new version written to raise funds for Rape Crisis Scotland. We had original planned to raise money for Rape Crisis Scotland during our fringe run, however, due to time constraints this was not possible. Instead, now we bring you an updated script alongside two new tales from world of Malion. This will be a rehearsed reading with all tickets sales going towards Rape Crisis Scotland. About Rape Crisis Scotland: Rape Crisis Scotland is Scotland’s leading organisation working to transform attitudes, improve responses and ultimately to end rape and sexual violence in all its forms. All of us deserve to live free from the fear and threat of sexual violence. At Rape Crisis Scotland we work to raise awareness of the prevalence and impact of rape, sexual assault and abuse, advocate for better health, justice and community responses, and work to make sure that no matter what happened or when, survivors can access specialist support.
