In an attempt to understand each other again, one couple undergoes an experimental procedure that allows them to fully experience the other’s consciousness for one minute. To Be A Bat is a sharp new play about intimacy, memory and the limitations of empathy in a hyper-connected world. This is a chance to see a new work-in-progress show from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, as part of our Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Traverse Theatre.
