Someone Else

– A new play in development

Beginning with the concept of the understudy, the show explores someone stepping into your role to do what you do. To have an understudy is both a comfort and threat – what if their performance trumps yours? We start to think about other roles in our lives when someone steps in to replace you: open relationships, uncertain living situations and the workplace.


'Someone Else' is about contemporary society, human value and holding on to what is irreplaceable. The work focuses on often overlooked relationships: connections with strangers, work colleagues and promiscuous hookups. It fights against a culture of disposability and disregard. It reaches audiences with levity, optimism and humour. We see that there is no way to make it through life without interdependence; without many iterations of someone else.
