SORT:
The Master Builder

“Beautifully layered, this text, awash with phallic and psycho-sexual symbolism - how many steeples can you squeeze into one play?— remains a fascinating exploration of human frailty, repressed guilt and buried trauma from modern drama’s very own master builder.”

Stuffed

“Both radical and relevant, STUFFED both entertains and provides plenty of food for thought.”

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is stylish, acerbic and dramatic; an entertaining, emotional rollercoaster delivered by a brilliant cast.”

Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky

“Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky is an excellent introduction for newbies to Patrick Hamilton who wrote evocatively about London and its dwellers, ‘the weird teeming aquarium of the metropolis.’”

Tartuffe Remixed

“This new version blasts the cobwebs from Moli re's wig and electrifies the original narrative with new relevance.”

Who Killed Marilyn?

Player
79

“Player is a terrific piece of work, worth fifty minutes of anyone's time, full of wit, sharp observation and yes - honesty.”

Heart Wall
98

“Heart Wall is a beautifully structured, heartfelt piece that explores how death and life awkwardly co-exist in a way that feels fresh and true.”

Broken Glass

“A new production of any Arthur Miller play is always a cause for great celebration, and this version of Broken Glass is no exception.”

“This rewarding creative collaboration is, in terms of length, stretched just a little too far and long and loses pace towards the end, but overall offers an intoxicating fusion: audio, visual, performative and experiential, that gives insight into the complexities, dichotomies and brilliance of Miles Davies.”
