SHOOBS

SHOOBS is a raucous coming-of-age story set at a banging South London house party in the early noughties. Lisa is taking advice on how to deal with her feelings for both Blazer and Jada but it is good advice? by Janet Etuk

SHOOBS is part of a new anthology of digital shorts from Open Sky entitled MicroPlays: Identity. Five writers were asked the question, “What makes us who we are?” 

Currently on the festival circuit. Stand by for more news…

RELEASES IN 2025. SHORT FILM. 12 MINS.

PRAISE FOR MICROPLAYS: IDENTITY

  • “As thought-provoking as they are concise. BEST DRAMA OF THE WEEK, LIVE & ONLINE”

    — THE METRO

  • “Ingenuity twinkles throughout a bite-sized box set. A teasing half-hour of stylish snippets. ”

    — THE STAGE

  • “MicroPlays tell vastly different stories. Each play is slick, performed well and articulate. If a project is attempting to cross over to a new theatre audience, I’m glad it’s one as fresh and high quality as this.”
