So, what happens when doing the right thing isn't the right thing anymore??This solo show explores the world of knife crime from a fresh perspective as a woman is forced to confront the unfamiliar world her son has collided with and compromise on what she thinks she believes in.

Supported by the Royal Institute of Philosophy. Professor Matravers will be discussing the philosophy of T.E. Hulme, a philosopher and poet who has been called “The First Conservative of the 20th Century”, and was described by T.S. Eliot as ?“classical, reactionary, and revolutionary”. Focusing on Hulme’s thinking about the relationship between the individual and the state, we expect Prof. Matravers to talk about Hulme’s view of human nature as deeply flawed, and therefore in need of external discipline, order and absolute values.Derek Matravers read for a degree in?Philosophy?at University College, London,?after which he?completed a PhD?at Darwin College, Cambridge. He?was supervised by Hugh Mellor on the topic of ‘Art and the Emotions’. He spent a further three years in Cambridge as a post-doctoral Research Fellow before moving to The Open University in 1994. He has written on various areas of aesthetics and the philosophy of art, as well as in ethics and the philosophy of mind. He is a Fellow of?Churchill College, Cambridge, and has?held visiting positions at the University of Latvia, the University of British Columbia, the University of Otago, Shanghai Normal University, Rhodes University (South Africa), and The University of Auckland.

The OSO is thrilled to host graduating students of St Mary's University, for their annual Festival of Creativity.'A timeless absurdist play. Six characters wander into an uninspiring rehearsal room, interrupting the actors and director. They are looking for their author, who is nowhere to be seen. Their arrival prompts the questions;What is an actor?What is a character?What is a person?Where does one begin and the other one end?A thought-provoking exploration into the nature of theatre and existence. A deeply serious exquisite piece of nonsense or a nonsensical piece of serious theatre - it lingers and resonates long after the curtain call.'

Oat Cakes and Jam is an anarchic, darkly comic piece inspired by Angela Carter’s The Company of Wolves from The Bloody Chamber. Developed over eleven weeks at the OSO, it will blend movement, text, music, and visual design to explore transformation, desire, and rebellion. Built through a layered, collaborative process, each creative element - from clowning to photography, costume, and lighting - will be developed independently before being woven together into a rich theatrical collage. The process will celebrate chaos, humour, and play, drawing inspiration from radical performance-makers such as In Bed With My Brother and Figs in Wigs. At its heart, Oat Cakes and Jam will embrace Carter’s fairytale world while reimagining it through a contemporary theatrical lens. The result will be a visceral, multimedia gothic fairytale that blurs the boundaries between text, movement, music, and visual design. This work-in-progress sharing will invite audiences to step into a world where the wild and the human blur, offering a glimpse into the collaborative making of a bold and playful theatrical experiment.
