tabHu steps up and for 2025 we produce our first show, Pornography by Simon Stephens. November 2025 at Holden Street Theatre
Set against the backdrop of the 2005 London bombings, Pornography is a fragmented, poetic exploration of a city on edge. Told through seven loosely connected scenes, the play captures ordinary lives—siblings, strangers, lovers—grappling with isolation, desire, and disconnection. There’s no central plot, but a haunting emotional thread: the sense that something has ruptured beneath the surface of everyday life.
Stephens doesn’t offer answers—only moments. A stolen kiss, a racist rant, a quiet breakdown. The title refers not to sex, but to exposure: the raw, unfiltered reality of a society stripped bare by fear, media saturation, and emotional numbness.
