We’re proud and excited to announce that we’re heading back to Einstein’s Garden at Green Man Festival this August.
In this most beautiful of Welsh valleys, we’ll be presenting Publish or Perish: Level Up, a semi-improvised mashup of choose-your-own-adventure, science satire and video game theatre.
The next evolution of our successful Publish or Perish format, this show will once again see the whole audience take control of a young researcher. Together, they’ll try make it through the strangest, most stressful day of their life (helped by an all-knowing game master) with the ultimate goal of hunting down the mythical “permanent full time position”.
I loved being able to vote on the outcomes and the actors’ amazing ability to make things up on the spot. I’ve never laughed so much for so long… (the show) really brought an audience of strangers together in a way that I didn’t think was possible!
Publish or Perish audience member

The new show is currently in development, but already we know there’ll be:
- live action role play
- daft songs/dafter dancing
- a field trip full of improvisers
- too many obscure game references
- completely made up and useless science
- an unhealthy dose of ridiculous audience suggestions
If even a tiny chunk of that appeals, we’d love you to join us in the Omni Tent at the festival. Will you survive the dangerous and surreal fantasy world of Academia? You and your votes will decide…
