Chatroom

The company spent 2018 working on and touring ‘Chatroom’ by Enda Walsh. Chatroom looks into a number of very prominent issues, such as; mental health, suicide and bullying. Throughout the process of performing ‘Chatroom’ the company kept the importance of these themes at the for-front of their minds. This resulted in connections being formed with the schools and young people we worked with.

In January 2018, Raw Alchemy Theatre Company performed their premier performance of Chatroom at the Sundial Theatre in Cirencester. From there they went onto perform at a number of schools round the area, offering workshops and Q+A’s to the students, before eventually taking the piece to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018. The company performed in Edinburgh from the 3rd to the 11th August, gaining a sell-out audience and fantastic reviews.
