HANG IN THERE, BABY

In Hang in There, Baby, Watson explores our relationship with destiny, fate and decision making from the depths of a new year’s office party. With an original score by Antwerp-based sound-artist and composer Adam Vincent Clarke and an original script written by Watson, this sci-fi dark comedy marks a first in their collaboration with both original music and playwriting. This “PacMan-esque office nightmare” was Watson’s final commission as a Sadler’s Wells Young Associate, premiering in the Sadler’s Wells main house in October 2022.
