Welcome to RALPH.

Picked from the finest, to be the finest.
Here at RALPH we are building your stories and your mind is key.
The first of the rest of your life begins here, welcome to the team.
It Made Me Consider Me is a site-specific experience, leading employees into a world of amnesia where everything is store, but nothing is remembered. Middle-management will micro-manage you through endless tunnels to mis-remember an altered past, present and future.

“It Made Me Consider Me is both entertaining and genuinely eerie, its unnerving qualities coming as much from the disturbingly familiar atmosphere of a bureaucratic, alienating, process-obsessed office environment as from the sci-fi storyline.’’
– Ka Bradly, The Stage

“The ensuing action is a masterpiece of timing as you are separated […] GRUFF Theatre group must be commended for managing to maintain an element of spontaneity as you then bump into other groups just in time for the latest reveal, and obscuring what must be a meticulously thought-out feat of direction.”
– A Younger Theatre
