REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Shakespeare at its most direct and immediate... As the play reaches towards its magical climax, we all lean forward upon our seats to drink in every magical moment like moths being drawn towards the light.’ The Guardian (The Tempest)
‘An inspired idea… with the aid of organ peals and an ethereal voice issuing from the darkened choir becomes an illustration of human transience.’ The Guardian (Henry VIII)
‘A show that chases after the beauty of love and finds it... by the end there wasn't a dry eye in the house.’ The Scotsman (The Tale that Wags the Dog)
CURRENT PRODUCTION

The performance takes place in and amongst the audience, who become the island. (150 mins, 13 performers, 17 on the road.)
