En Route Theatre presents:"Family"
A New Writing Event
1st & 2nd December 2025
En Route is an international, growing theatre company passionate about new voices and original stories. Following the success of productions such as New Beginnings, Rachel, Headquarters, and Setting Sail (a scratch night series), we’re thrilled to return to the Golden Goose with a brand-new writing event: Family.
"Family" is a two-night writing showcase featuring six scenes by promising writers who previously took part in our Golden Goose scratch nights. Each writer was given carte blanche to create two scenes in response to the theme of family.
Each piece has been paired with a director and cast. This project is a creative experiment, an opportunity to explore new artistic collaborations and celebrate returning ones.

Have you ever felt judged for not having the right body shape? Too fat? Too thin?
Never exercise?
Our photo-shopped world is not always kind. Diana and her boys sing, dance and tell stories about self-confidence, body image, and society’s unreasonably high expectations on our appearance, sharing personal stories and daring each other to reveal more and more of themselves.
As they explore their bodies they discover 101 ways to look fabulous.

A Microscopic Odyssey follows the true story of microscopist James Weiss, who discovers unexpected solace and inspiration in something as humble as a muddy puddle. Through his lens, the everyday becomes extraordinary, revealing a vibrant hidden universe teeming with life.
This imaginative new production invites audiences to experience science not as a set of dry facts, but as a source of awe, creativity and connection. By venturing into the microcosmos, A Microscopic Odyssey reminds us that we are not separate from nature—we are part of a vast, intricate web, much of it too small for the naked eye to see.
At its heart, the play explores how the way we look shapes what we see. Curiosity, intention and imagination become the true lenses through which the world unfolds. Rather than trying to control or master the unseen, the piece invites us to approach it as a poetic dance between perception, presence and mystery.
Based on the work of James Weiss (@jam_and_germs)—professional microscopist, independent researcher, and storyteller—this production draws inspiration from his popular YouTube channel The Microscopic Odyssey and his book The Hidden Beauty of the Microscopic World.
Presented by Mycelium Theatre Company at the Golden Goose Theatre, this is a celebration of wonder, discovery and the extraordinary life hidden all around us.

Absence of Youth explores a group of kids growing up through a zombie apocalypse and the impact of their survival and understanding now that they’re in their 20s. Inspired by recent events of real world isolation and the film 28 Years Later, this play explores the trauma of a generation forced to mature too soon and how they navigate their feelings in order to survive.
