Step inside the body and find yourself transported into a psychedelic wonderland of inflatable organs, whimsical floating cells, mesmerising soundscapes, larger-than-life puppets and interactive original film. But don’t be fooled. Entrancing as this body may be, it is facing a major threat.
Combining dance, film, audio, puppetry, performance art, installation-art, storytelling and more, The War Inside seeks to shine a light on hidden illness and create a playful and cathartic space to make the invisible, visible.
The War Inside debuted at The Albany in 2023 and is now being reimagined into an immersive family musical (5yr+) debuting at Southbank Centre 2025.

The Mother Sh*t
Performed and created by: Chloe Young, Grace Church, Lakeisha Lynch-Steven Dunja Botic and Conrad Murray. Directed by: Izzy Rabey and Alice Chambers.
Movement Direction: Chloe Young
Produced by: Molly McGeachin and Heather Ralph
A show about mums. With beatboxing. And mime. And music. And verbatim and various other things because ‘mum’ is a multifaceted thing.
We interviewed 50 different people about their mums. We want to show you what they said. And what we say. And what society says about mums.
An unconventional love letter to mums trying, failing, caring, choosing, loving & losing. To the real sh*ts of mothers and mothers of real sh*ts.
“… a fast-paced collage of observational physical comedy that can’t fail to lift the mood. “ - The Review Hub
