Brainsluts: a slang term used for participants of clinical drug trials.
Five Sundays. Five strangers. One mystery drug. As the trial unfolds, these guinea pigs will discover the sheer lengths each of them will go just to fill the silence.
Oversharing ensues, secrets emerge and the stresses of their precarious lives are laid bare. This may not be the dream, but if they listen to each other, they might just learn something. Or maybe they won’t.
Shortlisted for the Popcorn Writing Award and heralded as one of the best shows to see at Edinburgh Fringe, Brainsluts completely sold out its critically acclaimed run at The Pleasance Theatre in August 2025.
This edition was published to coincide with the run at Seven Dials Playhouse in February 2026.
