I'm A Philosopher!
Why the Fuck am I Here?
A choose your own outcome comedy.
What would happen if a reality gameshow were populated, not by the normal motley collection of D-List celebrities, but by a group of the world’s greatest thinkers?
-
Will Jean-Jacques Rousseau really enjoy being in the state of nature?
-
Can Ayn Rand thrive in a libertarian paradise?
-
Is there anything that Peter Singer can eat?
-
Will anybody speak to Jordan Peterson?
Find out in this interactive, lip-sync, musical comedy, pastiche of reality TV.
There are political disagreements, moral debates, music, dancing and lots of comedy - but the best thing is that you, the audience, decides what happens.
Who goes? Who stays? Whe eats? Who plays? You choose it all using live, interactive voting.
THIS PLAY IS NEVER THE SAME TWICE!

The Musical
Small Boats. Small Minds. Someone is bound to lose the plot.

Occupied
Territory
Designed to blur the boundary between spectator and story through the use of immersive staging, the production draws viewers into a liminal space where the world’s territorial disputes are reflected, not as distant geopolitical abstractions, but as immediate, personal and domestic realities.

Nothing Comes from Nothing
The story of Leah King and her three daughters.
As Leah wrestles with the disposal of the family home and the process of sharing the proceeds amongst her offspring, two of her daughters seem to encourage her with unnatural haste, whilst the third remains remote.
In this dramatic triptych, the nature of familial bonds, generational conflict and inheritance are explored - along with physics, architecture and archeology and matter, time and space.
"How moving - our family has been through this ... it made me cry"

The View
From Here
During the First World War, Britain captured much of what it labelled ‘the Arab Middle East’ from the Ottoman Empire.
In 1919 The Royal Irish Constabulary was disbanded under the terms of the agreement that ended Ireland’s War of independence and established the Irish Free State.
By 1922 violence between Arabs and Jews in Palestine was increasing and a new ‘impartial’ British Gendarmerie was established to help maintain the peace.
It was staffed almost exclusively by former RIC members.
In ‘A View from Here’ an ex RIC officer reflects on the differences and similarities of his experiences in Ireland and Palestine

A Chat
With Adonai
Toby Dasein is a man looking for answers to some fundamental questions. So, what do you do when you all other avenues have failed you? You seek a chat with Adonai.
Unfortunately, for Toby, that conversation doesn’t go as well as he had hoped. As his confusion and disillusionment grow, could the unexpected arrival of a figure of true authority help him to understand his purpose in life?
"An incredibly important, topical and intellectual piece that manages to educate, engage and entertain."
(Adventures in Theatreland)
"An auspicious debut by a writer who knows exactly what he wants and how to pitch it."

Our Mission
At Make My Show, we specialise in bringing new writing to the stage.
We showcase experimental theatre that employs innovative staging and presents provocative stories.
We believe that theatre is best when it recognises those characteristics that make it unique:
-
It imaginatively explores the performance space
-
It engages directly and provocatively with the audience
-
It embraces and showcases the performers' physicality
-
It lives and adapts
-
It offers a truly liminal experience
-
It can be felt, smelt, heard and seen
This isn't cinema or TV or web content or a podcast...
No, it's better than that
