Offgridland

If you have been feeling the pressure of being constantly connected lately, you might find the premise of Offgridland quite relatable. It is a theatrical performance that focuses on the struggle to switch off in our modern, digital world. The story follows an overworked protagonist attempting to disconnect, playing with the concepts of 'Flight' and 'Mode' to explore that specific tension we all feel when trying to step away from our screens and notifications.

Shoulder Cat Productions is bringing this show to the Rotunda Theatre in Brighton as part of the current festival season. Specifically, you can catch it at the Squeak venue, which is located in Regency Square, Brighton, BN1 2FG. It is a relatively short piece, running for exactly one hour, which makes it a manageable addition to a busy schedule if you are planning to see other things around the city.

The performances are scheduled for Thursday, 9 May 2026, and Friday, 10 May 2026. Both shows start at 12:45. It is worth noting that this is a ticketed event, with standard entry priced at £10 and a concession rate of £8 available for those who qualify. The production is rated for ages 10 and up, so it is accessible for a fairly broad audience if you are looking for something to see with others.

It is interesting to see how local theatre groups are tackling the theme of digital burnout, especially in a city like Brighton where the pace can sometimes feel just as fast as the online world we are trying to escape. If you are around Regency Square during those dates, it is an option to consider for a midday break.
