ARTISTIC POLICY
RedCape is committed to telling stories that matter, move and entertain using stunning visuals, physical storytelling and original writing. RedCape had a phenomenal time at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2008: In addition to rave reviews, their debut show The Idiot Colony received a Fringe First and the Total Theatre Award for Best Visual Theatre. A 35-date tour of The Idiot Colony followed in autumn 2009, to great success and many sell out shows.
REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Endlessly inventive... thoroughly disquieting. It's stunning; you can't help but catch your breath.’ ***** Metro
‘An affecting, humorous piece of physical theatre.’ The Times
‘It has a sly sense of fun. One to catch.’ The Guardian
