Introducing one half of our mainstage comedy double-bill – Influentia!

Influentia – Written by Erin Russell and Directed by Jake Martin
Fed up with her lack of social media followers and at odds with her chaotic mind, Darah, a struggling ceramicist, turns to magic to bring her art and herself instant fame. Armed with a spell she found on TikTok, and the help of the shy boy from her therapy group who only speaks Latin, Darah manages to summon an ancient entity with a familiar face. But as the bargain she makes with this creature begins to transform her whole life, Darah starts to wonder if the price of this influence is more than she’s willing to pay.

Show includes strong themes of mental health struggles including eating disorders, panic attacks, depression, anxiety and mentions of self-harm.
