Welcome to PETRICHOR.
Thousands applied and you have been selected.
This is a new beginning, a clean slate, a second chance.
You are an important part of this machine,
And that’s all you need to think about.
Step into a new world
A world where every single day, is exactly the same.
PETRICHOR is a dystopian reality, where every moment is muted, managed and monochrome.
Nothing bad ever happens. Nothing good does either.
Excitement and happiness have been traded for a world without pain and suffering.
A chance meeting brings two unlikely individuals together and offers a small glimpse of what life could be.
Their newfound connection sends ripples through this ordered world. They begin to question every decision, every step and every thought they’ve ever had.
Could there be something more than this?
PETRICHOR IS AVAILABLE TO RENT NOW FOR £2.99

“ThickSkin’s intense, flickering two-hander about automatons in a totalitarian regime makes gripping, immersive VR viewing.”
The Guardian
“Enveloping and wholly engaging, the performance takes place around the audience.”
Upstaged Manchester
“Deftly delivered by the creative team. Proof that you don’t need to be in a theatre to be in a theatre.”
The Stage
“A captivating piece of escapism”
