Lads of the Flies by Grace Donaldson
Selected by a panel of judges at the University of Glasgow to attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The production completed its run with multiple five-star reviews, sold-out shows, and a shortlisting for two Scottish Theatre Awards.
When a group of four teenage boys (all played by female-presenting actors) get lost in the wilderness on their Duke of Edinburgh trip, they feud, flirt and fornicate in a way that forces us (and them) to ask – is there any hope for the modern man?
Created by a team of solely student theatre-makers, Lads of the Flies is a bitingly funny satire of the performativity of gender and the artifice of patriarchal masculinity. Utilising elements of metatheatre and innovative cross-gender casting, the play comedically re-examines its iconic source material through a radically queer and feminist lens. Throughout the 50-minute runtime, a slew of current pop-cultural references provide razor-sharp insight into the ever-relevant themes of puberty, sexuality and what it means to be a man in the modern world.

Blumenthal Arts
Over the summer, a series of advertising and marketing campaigns were developed by Sophie to promote upcoming shows and boost audience engagement at Blumenthal Arts. One standout project involved planning, organizing, and executing a grassroots marketing campaign for Aaron Sorkin’s To Kill a Mockingbird, starring Richard Thomas. By collaborating with local bookstores, Little Free Libraries, and the Blumenthal Marketing Team, the campaign successfully captured the attention of the Charlotte community and encouraged audiences and their families to hunt for books in exchange for free tickets. She also produced and edited a promotional video for the BPA Internship Program.

The Zoo Story by Edward Albee
Peter’s a nice guy. He’s quiet, polite and affable. Inoffensive. On Sundays, he takes a walk through the park. He visits his favourite bench. He sits, he reads, he smokes his pipe. For one small moment each week, he is content. Today, however, he is disturbed by a stranger named Jerry.
Their coming together is, to Jerry's mind, an opportunity. A singular chance at something intimate, powerful and entirely irreversible.
Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story is a potent analysis of American capitalism and urban loneliness. It remains as blisteringly relevant today as it was when first published.

I See my Sister by Eve Miller
When sisters Mhairi and Caoimhe run away from home, Mhairi is determined to stay isolated from the world. It’s safer for her that way, and if it’s safer for her then it’s safer for them both. But in her struggle to keep her sister close, and other people out, Mhairi makes a deadly choice and risks losing Caoimhe forever. As the sisters become more entangled with the wild Scottish landscape, Mhairi’s secrets are revealed and her grasp on her sister – and reality – begins to slip. I See My Sister explores folklore, trauma and sisterhood.
