Verbatim Theatre uniquely combines the journalistic practice of conducting interviews with the transformative power of live performance. This year’s programme, Unzipped and In Another Life, is an honest reflection of diverse experiences and perspectives, told through self-contained monologues that each explore an aspect of our culture, and internal lives.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS AN AGE RESTRICTION OF 18 AND OLDER FOR THIS PROGRAMME. WE ADVISE THAT NO UNDER 18S ATTEND THE SHOWS.

UNZIPPED

Unzipped peels back the layers of secrecy, discomfort, and curiosity surrounding sex and sexuality in today’s world. Built from the real words of real people, this performance lays bare the unspoken rules, the mixed messages, the shame, and the desire that shape our understanding of sex.

From hushed bedroom confessions to bold declarations of identity, Unzipped invites you into a space where nothing is off-limits. It’s about reclaiming the narrative—opening up conversations that have been zipped shut for far too long.

IN ANOTHER LIFE

In Another Life captures the ache of imagined futures and the quiet hope that lives beneath regret. Woven from real stories and unfiltered truths, this verbatim piece gives voice to the dreams we once held tightly—and the realities we’ve had to settle into, break through, or let go of.

Through layered testimonies of ambition, loss, and resilience, the piece explores what could have been, what still might be, and the weight of wondering. In Another Life isn’t about giving up—it’s about honouring the journeys we didn’t take and the ones we’re still on.
