Queering our understanding of what a partnership can be, Bedfellows tests where the lines of parental, platonic, romantic, and sexual relationships blur, diverge, and intersect. It follows three relationships held between two bodies, asking the question ‘Who are we to each other?’. Both a dualogue in form and in process Bedfellows sought to apply design thinking to narrative, and literary approaches to set design through a collaborative approach in which writer and designer occupied both roles simultaneously.

Staged in the round, audience members were invited to roam the set before the play began, discovering and forming their own opinions on the inhabitants of the bedroom they had arrived in. Bedfellows had a sold out run of three shows, commissioned as part of the 2025 Roundhouse Studio Theatre Programme.
