We Were Promised Honey!
The show that we're about to do is a story about the future. The story that we're going to tell is the story of us; the story of our future. It's a story that we are going to tell together. I hope that sounds okay. From the makers of Five Encounters on a Site Called Craigslist and the accident did not take place comes an act of communal storytelling. There's a baby born in a lighthouse, a man on fire in the middle of the desert, two lovers reunited in a ruined city, there's a dying spaceship on the edge of a black hole. we were promised honey! is a hopeful, hopeless prophecy for humankind. A meditation on inevitability, despair and how we tell a story when we already know the end. This new edition includes a foreword written by Katie Hawthorne. This edition was published to coincide with the production at London's Soho Theatre in November 2022, following a successful run at Edinburgh Fringe 2022.
The accident did not take place
Somewhere on the other side of the world, a plane is falling from the sky. You can see it on your laptop. You can watch it happening on YouTube. You can hit rewind and watch it burning on repeat.

Five Encounters on a Site Called Craigslist
Desperately hilarious and achingly bleak, this is an intricate and tender question mark around our attempts to encounter each other in a technologized world. Sam wants to tell you about five encounters he had on a site called Craigslist. Sam is anxious about the way he gets to know people. About the way he self-sabotages his attempts to communicate and reach out to those around him. Sam wants this to be a chance for you to get to know him.
King of the Lobby
A biography of the “influential and engaging character” who courted Congress with food, wine, and gifts in the post-Civil War era (The Washington Post Book World). King of the Lobby tells the story of how one man harnessed delicious food, fine wine, and good conversation to become the most influential lobbyist of the Gilded Age. Scion of an old and honorable family, best friend of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and charming man-about-town, Sam Ward held his own in an era crowded with larger-than-life personalities. Living by the motto that the shortest route between a pending bill and a congressman’s “aye” was through his stomach, Ward elegantly entertained political elites in return ...
