CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Site-sympathetic Shakespeare played under a 3m diameter helium moon that can play almost anywhere, inside and out, from theatres to the rainforest, from opera houses to the banks of the Volga. The performance takes place in and amongst the audience who become the island.

Commissioned by the RSC Complete Works Festival. Shakespeare’s final play, performed in traverse down the nave of a church. First performed in Holy Trinity where Shakespeare is buried.

By Peter Flannery. A one-man show charting the comeback of John McKenna, ‘the greatest goalkeeper never to play for England’, as he strives to rebuild his career. Played on real grass with a full-size football goal.
