Freshly Squeezed is our way of making exciting, impactful work within clear, limited means. These shows are built in short, focused bursts of rehearsal and designed to deliver maximum bang on a small budget.

Full of Pulp

Freshly Squeezed shows are lively, fresh, and fizzy. They’re made fast by the seat of our pants, with joy and courage, and performed with the same spirit. Whether comic, silly, strange, or questioning, they invite audiences into something that feels immediate and alive.

Why We Are Doing This

Funding for theatre is harder than ever to secure, making it difficult for companies and artists to keep creating. At LemonSoap, we’re not willing to let our work sit on hold while we wait for another uncertain grant outcome — we want to make bold, timely theatre now.

Our Commitment to Artists

Without major funding, we must prioritise fairness. Every artist involved is paid equitably for their time and talent. We don’t believe theatre should require personal sacrifice or burnout to be amazing — just creativity, trust, and respect for the process and the people.

Our Promise to You

A night out at the theatre shouldn’t mean overpriced tickets or underpaid artists. With Freshly Squeezed, you get a joyful, affordable experience — and the confidence that everyone involved has been treated well. Theatre can be fun, frothy, and fair — and that’s exactly what we’re serving.
