Is everything OK?
Not really.
I think I need to share this with the whole group...

A WhatsApp group is a modern-day campfire. A place to gather, gossip, myth-make and share stories. 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 spine-chilling bite-sized drama told eniterely on WhatsApp.

Audiences joined the group, for performances in October and November, sat back and watched as the story transformed in the palm of their hands.
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.
