Stay Safe - a spine-chilling WhatsApp play

Writer : Jack McNamara
Designer : Joe Strickland



Stay Safe takes inspiration from the short story The Witch by American horror and mystery writer Shirley Jackson.

For many parents it's a safe space to feel connected to their children's school. But is anything really safe anymore?

Told entirely live through Whatsapp, Stay Safe continues New Perspectives ventures into exciting new theatrical forms, offering audiences a bite-sized drama with a splash of fear.

Audiences joined the group and watched as the story transformed in the palm of their hands.


"An intoxicating adrenaline rush of an experience" The Upcoming
"You might drop your phone in shock" The Reviews Hub


Stay Safe was originally conceived as part of the Signal Fires, a nationwide project inspired by one of the original forms of theatre - storytelling around a fire.

Running time: approx 45 mins
Interval length: no interval mins

Through an annual programme of original adaptations, rare revivals and new writing, we aim to bring live theatre that is diverse, affordable and accessible into the heart of wide-ranging communities, as well as to regional, national and international venues.  
Our productions are testament to the fact that rural theatre is as relevant, challenging and vital as theatre made for any other environment.
