LAST NIGHT I DIDN’T SLEEP A WINK
By Emily Bradshaw and Joe Plumb
Evie Roberts is 16 years old and on the brink of burning every bridge in her life. How far can we allow someone, even someone we love as a daughter, sister, best friend, to push us before we push back? 91% of female victims are murdered by someone they already know. Evie didn’t see it coming but could we have?
First performed at Nuffield Southampton Theatre and Ventnor Exchange in February 2020

VENTNOR FRINGE FESTIVAL
VENTNOR FRINGE FESTIVAL
As part of the 2019 Ventnor Fringe Festival we curated a weekend of theatre for all the family to enjoy. We had sellout performances of Renegade Girls and Hansel & Gretel and audiences absolutely loved the food fights in Bagwitch's Revolting Right Royal Knees Up and dancing teddies with David Gibb in our Fringe Fiesta. The Horse Box was used as a Free Fringe venue and saw many acts perform poetry, music and drama over the course of the festival. It was a fantastic weekend of performances and we cannot wait to get back to Ventnor Fringe this year!

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide accessible performances that the whole family can enjoy, we presented our performances with BSL at selected events.
