In a world where conformity is enforced and dissent is crushed, Mashed Theatre & Films presents PRESSURE, a gripping modern retelling of ‘The Crucible’ and ‘1984’. Set in the oppressive halls of McCarthy School of Excellence, this dystopian drama follows John and Liz as they navigate a society built on surveillance and manipulation.

Amidst the constant scrutiny, John and Liz must also contend with a treacherous social hierarchy. Fearful of being “cancelled” and ostracized, their every move is fraught with peril. The social dynamics of their world become a dangerous game, where personal integrity clashes with the need for survival.

With just two versatile actors embodying multiple characters, ‘PRESSURE’ delves into the intense dynamics of power, control, and rebellion. This production challenges us to question the limits of authority and the price of defiance in a chillingly familiar future, where the pursuit of truth is overshadowed by the fear of societal judgment. Witness a harrowing exploration of freedom and social conformity as John and Liz fight to maintain their identities in a world that demands absolute obedience.
