Tethered (or The Adventures of the Adequately Excited People)

OFFcom Short Run Award | WINNER

London Pub Theatres | Standing Ovation | NOMINATED

George and Hal are putting on a play. They’re playing Moins and Sans. George needs it to be perfect. Hal's fallen out of love with it.

As the pair traverse through their madcap story of party hats, balloonies and mysterious messages, the actors are forced to question many things. Like, how far would we go to keep ourselves sane when trapped in one place for too long? How much do we rely on each other? And how do you pronounce Moins?

TETHERED is an award-winning surreal comedy from the critically acclaimed ChewBoy Productions, exploring hope, loss, and dependence, following a successful run at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre where the company are Associate Artists.

The Alma Theatre has been serving the community for 25 years and has never been the recipient of ACE or other funding. Our theatre manager started maternity leave as the pandemic hit and as a result we missed all opportunities for additional arts council support. We have been offering reduced rates, preferential box office splits and extended promo support to aid the recovery from the past year and a half. Your help will enable us to continue bringing fantastic stories to your local theatre. 50% of your donation will go to the Alma Theatre, and 50% to our inhouse company, Schoolhouse Productions.
