About By Louisa Marshall and Amber Charlie Conroy
Clean Slate, written and performed by Louisa Marshall and Amber Charlie Conroy, is an immersive theatre piece in which the audience is cast as the boyfriend. A woman navigates the full weight of domestic labour — cooking, cleaning, planning, hosting — while her partner's relentless incompetence slowly pushes her to breaking point. The show refuses to let audiences stay comfortable in the dark: it makes you complicit, turning you into witness, confidant and unwilling participant as the tension builds toward something unspoken.
Why see this show?
This is theatre that won't let you off the hook. By casting you as the boyfriend, Clean Slate collapses the distance between stage and audience, making the domestic frustration feel genuinely personal. Uncomfortable, funny, and hard to shake.
