Something Different by Keith Singleton, March 2023

Life is full of endless possibilities – but is that always a good thing?

Tinderbox Theatre Company and Keith Singleton present a feverish carnal comedy that shines a very awkward light on relationships.

Meet The One. Grow old with that one. Respect them. Have weekly nice times with them. Matching pyjamas? Why not.

It isn’t broke, so why fix it?

Recently the feeling in your gut has been shouting loud at you. There’s a primal wisdom screaming for you to have a look at the rules of modern life. Your many interactions with attractive others have been carefully managed so far and you’ve avoided making an animal of yourself. You’ve done brilliantly at denying yourself. Well done.

Is the habit of having just the one mate forever and ever and ever what we should all continue to strive for? Or maybe, just maybe, it would be a great idea for us all to try Something Different.

Watch the couple in question take all the big risks, so you don’t have to in this Tinderbox Theatre Company production written by Keith Singleton.

Birds of Passage in the Half Light by Kat Woods

In August 2022, we premiered Birds of Passage in the Half Light by Kat Woods at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022, followed by a run in the Duncairn Arts Centre, Belfast.

Ignition

Ignition is a fast-paced ambitious theatre making project, not for the faint hearted. Each year since 2016, Tinderbox has invited theatre makers to collaborate, innovate and create a new ground-breaking piece of work in five days, inspired by a single provocation given on the Monday morning. Ignition celebrates the passion, the agility and the professionalism in Northern Irish theatre.
