To Be A Bat (WIP)
Shedinburgh, Edinburgh Fringe & Young Vic (2026)
About
In an attempt to understand each other again, one couple undergoes an experimental procedure that allows them to fully experience the other’s consciousness for one minute.
To Be A Bat is a sharp new play about intimacy, memory and the limitations of empathy in a hyperconnected world.
A new work-in-progress show developed and presented as part of the Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Traverse Theatre.
