A Pineapple

Book
A digital promotional poster for the play 'A Pineapple' by Olivia Mace, showing a surreal scene with a large pineapple in the foreground. The background depicts a dark, dystopian landscape with crumbling buildings under a starry night sky.
Three people stand closely in a dim tunnel. A young woman in a checkered shirt and messy hair stands at the front, looking straight at the camera. Behind her, a serious older woman in denim and a man in a blue suit pose with solemn expressions, all evenly lit against the shadowy background.
A woman in a loose denim shirt stands in focus, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. She wears a light blue headband and a wristwatch. Two blurred figures, a man in a suit and a young woman in a checkered shirt and jeans, stand in the background in a dimly lit tunnel.
A man in a blue suit and tie stands confidently in the centre of a cobbled alleyway, looking into the camera. Behind him, a woman in a plaid shirt and another in a denim outfit stand in the background, both with arms crossed and slightly blurred in the dim lighting.
A young woman in a green and purple plaid shirt and light blue jeans stands in the foreground of a dark alley, looking directly at the camera. Behind her, an older woman in denim and a man in a suit stand at a distance, both out of focus.

Manchester based theatre 53two present a new show from playwright Olivia Mace.

Decades into the future, the planet is rocked by a perpetual storm caused by global warming. Survivors are placed in government issue ‘Pods’ to match their wealth and live in isolation to await gradual extinction. 

The pod is all Nia has ever known. When her grandmother Connie decides that her time might be coming to an end, this isolation ends and with it, a world unexplored, is unlocked.  

A stark, sometimes funny and visceral world is created by Olivia Mace in A Pineapple.  

Ahead of the show, we caught up with producer and 53two Artistic Director Simon Naylor to talk dystopias, dark humour, and what makes A Pineapple such an exciting new piece of theatre. Read more to discover what A Pineapple is about.

  • A promotional image for Mikron Theatre's production, "Hush Hush! A Bletchley Story." The central figure is a woman wearing vintage headphones and a blue patterned dress with a white collar, holding a pencil and notebook as if intently listening and taking notes. The background features a faint grid of letters and numbers, evoking a code-breaking theme. The bold red title "Hush Hush!" is prominently displayed, with the subtitle "A Bletchley Story" below in black.
