"Summer 2020. The UK is in standstill. Two twenty-year-old men are forced into isolation together, bound by restricted space and an unresolved history which has changed them forever. As the outside world shuts down and a pandemic rages, the pair find themselves drawn into an illicit rave scene, and back into the seductive patterns of their past. But at what cost?

This brand-new one-act play is devised by Aidan Monks, Dylan Swain and Aubrey McCance, written & directed by Monks and performed by Swain and McCance; previous work includes Playing Love at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025 which was called “a delicious souffle of a show” by The Recs (4-stars) and cited by Edinburgh Guide as having “something […] for everyone”. “If this is what Monks and his team are doing now, I can’t wait to see what they bring to the stage next” (4-stars) wrote The Student — One / Another is what’s next. This two-hander fuses dramatic monologue with searing dialogue and experimentalism to engage themes of intimacy, lockdown longing, and the power of music. Expect laughs, emotional rawness, and big room bangers in abundance. Come see.

PLEASE NOTE: These are Work In Progress (WIP) performances as we are developing the play throughout 2026, so audiences will be given the option to offer us feedback, either hand-written or via digital form.”
