The Production Company behind the show, Theatric Tactics selected a show that had a universal theme albeit with a provocative nature, as a reflection of their working principle: they wanted to give voice to those not usually not heard. By presenting on what is considered taboo in a manner that's human and approachable, they hope to bring greater understanding and connectedness between performers and audiences alike.
Theatric Tactics support performers who are passionate about their art but face barriers accessing and participating in creative endeavours. They aim to increase the participation of under-represented groups in the performing arts industry.
