Listed in The Stage's Best Shows at EdFringe2025, this bold, rule-breaking play returns following sold-out London performances. 300 years ago, a diary was discovered on remote Ascension Island – the only record of a castaway punished for sodomy. With sharp new writing, bursts of laughter, and joyous moments of hope, Ascension tells a timeless story of queer resilience and survival. Staged in a 19th-century Gothic church, Ascension travels thousands of miles in fifty minutes, yet lingers long after.
