Poached is a tragicomic sci-fi; dancing on the edge of reality, and using comedy to explore how much and how little societal progress really had been made in terms of women's bodily control, and class, within society.
In June 2025, Tinderbox Theatre Company produced a week of digital development for Poached.
The week focused on using new and emerging technologies to explore visual and thematic dramaturgy and potential within the script.
