WAVES
“What is grief, except love persevering?”
Waves is a love letter to girlhood in 2000s South London- set against the backdrop of corner‑shop pick ’n’ mix, sharing iPod Shuffle headphones on the P4 to Brixton and blasting Rizzle Kicks.

It later went on to the Lion And Unicorn Theatre as part of the Camden Fringe Festival, produced by Blank Space Collective with generous support from PW Productions.

HOW TO CREATE A LIFE
Camden People’s Theatre Starting Blocks 2026
By Francesca D’Souza
After learning there may be ‘no womb at the inn’, Francesca navigates the sober world of fertility treatment as a single, 30-something who wonders where she’d even put a baby if she had one, or if anyone would go out with her now. Knowing she’s not mysterious enough to shut up about it, she starts to talk to people, and to her surprise, people start to talk back.
With directing support from Hope Wishart and Dramaturgy by Tilly Thorp
