Have Your It Way

About the show

"Our impact is measured in how our creations empower people to express their individuality with strength and purpose!"

No it's not! You can't measure impact that way! That doesn't mean anything at all!

This quote featured in an email exchange Theo had with a watch company named after a nuclear bomb, it was written by a Large Language Model.

Have Your It Way is a silly, serious, unsettling piece concerned with the proliferation of bullsh*t in publicity, exacerbated by LLMs, and the meaningless language of faux-creativity, initiative, and entrepreneurialism that has crept into our daily lives. From never ending LinkedIn posts to 1,000 slide Powerpoint's, from impossible to parse emails to Amazon authors, generative slop is waging a war on meaning.

Have Your It Way is a surreal, spiralling, rapid-fire monologue that blends readings from various brand guidelines with a story of a floating orb and an orgy in a fast-food restaurant.

Suitable for haters of Ai aged 16+!

Previous praise for the writer:

"Theo Moore has written the contradictions of real life into every moment of the show; how the good and the bad, the funny and disastrous, tend to sit together because life goes on even when things go wrong. Fundamentally, that is the feeling that makes this play so impactful" ★★★★ (Theatre & Tonic on Everytime We Touch at Theatre503)

About the show

"We are in a time of paralysis.
And nobody can understand why.
We all know that something is deeply wrong within our society.
But we are unable to act.
We are increasingly interconnected.
Yet power seems further away than ever before."

"Does this sound familiar?
Good.
Because we have been here before."

An entrepreneur pitches for investment.
Someone is a victim of deep-faking.
A debate erupts on the ethics of viral content.

‘if not this then that’ is a play performed entirely by the audience. No performers. Just you, a screen, and a story we all share. It’s about agency, control, and the colonial origins of modern computing technology. A play about us — and how we got here.

It’s up to each individual whether they follow the instructions. But someone must — for the play to progress.

What people are saying:

"Very thought-provoking — lots to talk about after the performance!"

"Super interesting! Never seen a production with that kind of engagement before."

"Loved it! Really great!"

About the company

Wild Guess is a performance collective based in Scotland, which creates bold, experimental, and politically responsive work, founded by Harry Walker whilst taking a Masters course in theatre and performance at the University of Glasgow in 2024.

Harry is an emerging theatre-maker and poet with a record of devising, producing, and presenting politically urgent work across England and Scotland. He creates experimental performances that use participatory mechanics to dismantle the traditional audience-performer hierarchy, turning spectators into co-creators of the event. His practice is grounded in research-led development and seeks to reconfigure theatrical performance as a collective act of dialectical co-authorship, to interrogate systems of power and explore post-capitalist futures.

His work has been presented at Camden People's Theatre’s SPRINTFEST 2025, the Old Hairdressers in Glasgow, and Resolution 2026 at The Place. Wild Guess producer, Enea Orsolini, is a trained dramatist interested in live art, queer theatre and accessibility, originally from Rome. Enea is an experienced producer and has produced shows for Wild Guess, including ‘if not this then that’ at the CPT, as well as performance events in Glasgow, such as ‘What Happens When’ at The Rum Shack.

Retardant

About the show

"What's your favourite TV show?"

For one autistic Irish trans man, it's Skivvies, an iconic teen drama entering its fifth season. After moving to Belfast to pursue his own coming of age dreams, he gets caught up in the messy hedonism of Gen Z queers. As his gender and sexuality waver, the TV glows brighter than the city lights and the line between fiction and reality starts to blur…

This is staying up all night refreshing Tumblr. This is that 4am deep conversation you regret the next day. This is a house party mirrorball fever dream about obsession, psychosis and doppelgangers, because what's scarier than a crazy trans person?

About the company

Isaac Quinn (he/him) is a theatremaker from Northern Ireland. His debut play "Retardant" premiered at the Leicester Curve with the National Student Drama Festival in 2026, after a work-in-progress tour across the North of Ireland. He's the co-creator of A Derry Queer Open Mic and a part of Theatre and Dance NI's INVEST Fellowship. His work focuses on the lived and made up experiences of being transgender, queer, disabled, and working class.

Rulebook To Society

Posted on: May 29th, 2026 by

About the show

Rulebook To Society is a raw, autobiographical musical exploring what it means to grow up neurodivergent in a world built on unspoken rules. Blending spoken word, alt-pop and theatre, the piece follows a young woman navigating systems that misread, misunderstand and punish difference – from school to mental health services and beyond.

Both painfully honest and darkly funny, the show unpacks identity, survival and the pressure to conform, while asking: what happens when you stop trying to follow rules that were never made for you?

Developed through platforms including Chickenshed’s RISE Festival and performed at conferences and live events, Rulebook To Society is an urgent, emotionally charged work-in-progress that refuses to stay quiet.

About the company

Hannah Whitfield is a London-based creative activist, writer and performer. Her work combines theatre, spoken word and lived experience to challenge systems, amplify neurodivergent voices and explore themes of identity, trauma and inclusion. She is the founder of Legally Detained, a creative platform using storytelling and performance to advocate for systemic change across arts, education and mental health spaces.

The Skins (or the Revenge of Princess Diana)

Posted on: May 29th, 2026 by

About the show

When Jen discovers an underground lair of alien creatures with plans of world domination, she must do everything in her power to thwart their efforts before undercover extraterrestrial ‘Beryl Stump’ is elected the next UK Prime Minister. With the help of Princess Diana’s diary and the noble efforts of her wonderful audience, Jen might just make it.

This anarchic comedy blends puppetry, pop-culture parody and a deep love for Princess Diana to create a fast paced and delightfully absurd performance. It's not one to be missed.

★★★★ "It rings with soul and sensation." – Binge Fringe for Halfway Down's previous production 'Saint'.

About the company

Halfway Down Theatre is a small, Brighton based theatre collective made up of predominantly queer artists. With a keen interest in stories of hope, they focus on amplifying LGBTQA+ voices and tales of taking action against unfairness. As a rule, they try to keep things funny.

Last year, with our show 'Saint', they were awarded the 'Keep it Fringe' fund and went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they did a 10 day run at The Space, Surgeons' Hall. Here, they were short-listed for Binge Fringe's 'Queer Performer Award' after receiving a glowing review.
