Nightmare Time was a series of musical comedy livestreams by LA-based theatre company Starkid Productions. Pre-COVID, they only staged traditional live theatre, but during the pandemic they began this series of three "episodes" that aired in October of 2020. These streams were mostly live, with intermittent songs that were pre-recorded and edited in the style of music videos.

In a reimagined version co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW: WW1 Centenary Art Commissions, THESE ROOMS shared its focus between the civilians of North King Street and the men of the South Staffordshire Regiment who committed the massacre – their identities largely anonymous, their actions controversially exonerated at a military enquiry. Created by two of Ireland’s most original companies, this fearless and embodied physical performance shed new light on a long-forgotten but pivotal moment in British-Irish relations.

All we have left is now.
