An intimate and rousing new musical experience by real-life couple Abigail and Shaun Bengson, known for their evocative indie-folk music and deeply personal storytelling. 

When Shaun turned his back on the church, he found a new home in music. Confronted now with acute degenerative hearing loss, he's making the choice to live joyfully in the face of life's many unanswerable questions. 

Featuring creative captions, Ohio is an exhilarating and celebratory true story about losing faith and finding hope in the darkest of places. It had its UK premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025 before playing at Bristol Old Vic and the Young Vic, London.
