CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A poem written to pay homage to the unknown victims, such as the window cleaner Roko Camaj, who died in the 9/11 tragedy. (60 mins, no interval.)

Berkoff’s exploration and analysis of Shakespeare’s most villainous characters – Iago, the Macbeths, Shylock, Richard III; characters who are inherently evil, whose situation leads them to evil deeds, or who are at the mercy of an evil society. (120 mins plus interval.)

Comprises three character studies, exploring in turn the mind-set of a murderer wracked with guilt, a thespian struggling to make his name, and a mindless soccer hooligan complete with pit bull terrier. (First half, A Tell Tale Heart, 45 mins; second half, Actor & Dog, 40 mins.)

An outrageous one act romp in which Berkoff plays a suburban housewife turned massage parlour hostess who, unbeknown to her husband, helps relieve her clients of the stresses of everyday life. A witty and savage exposé of the hypocrisy of modern society and marriage. (90 mins approx, no interval, strong language throughout.)
