latest productions
Beyond Face have been making productions since 2015. We work with new writing which often plays with experimenting with form and style. Check our latest productions below and keep scrolling for our archive of work over the years.
Beyond Face’s shows in the next three years will focus on stories that link the South West of England to the rest of the world. The shows will develop and prioritise the work of South West Global Majority writers and creatives. The work will be playful and experimental in its form, the relationship between text and movement will be integral to the trademark of our work.
IN SEARCH OF GOLDONI
A holiday to beautiful Venice.
Saikat is busy dragging his family around the winding cobbled streets, eating every flavour of gelato, serenading gondoliers, and obsessively thinking about a bloke called Carlo Goldoni, some Venetian twins and the death of his dad.
Come with Saikat as he takes us through the streets of Venice to the hospital wards of Romford and into the inner workings of his brain as he desperately searches for shade from the storm in his mind.
In Search of Goldoni is a new comedic solo show that asks the big questions: what is life really about, what happens when we leave this earth and what the hell is granita menthe?
2025
Written and Performed by Saikat Ahamed

Sitting in the grey
2023 onwards
For Ashlee, the world feels pretty loud and messy right now. There’s so much going on and it's hard to concentrate. They often find themselves sat in this grey space of not knowing how to move forward with things that to them feel massive, but to others seem small. Living in the South West of England, where it feels like no one wants to visit (unless it's to Cornwall to get a pasty), Ashlee struggles with people’s lack of willingness to talk about the things that matter, and no amount of protesting, instagramming or letters to teachers is getting them heard. Something needs to be done, but no one is listening...or are they?
Sitting in the Grey is a story about young people and adults listening to one another, about power, change and navigating the in-betweens and uncertainties that the current world is offering.
