‘Creates a dazzlingly inventive world that combines visual flair and physical swagger.’ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ()
‘A finely executed and not easily forgettable production.’ Emma Barnett, The Stage ()
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Taking the unruly spirit of Gogol’s irreverent masterpiece and with trademark inventive style, Gecko creates an intoxicating fantasy of love, greed and desire using comedy, cinematic imagery, movement and evocative music. (75 mins, no interval, 7 on stage, 13 on the road.)
