REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘An exquisitely idiosyncratic worldview that is as funny as it is wonderfully weird… remarkable for both its sheer inventiveness and its perfect pitch.’ The New York Times ()
‘It’s a real cracker… This is a show that makes you yearn to get off the hamster wheel and make a bid for freedom.’ The Guardian ()
‘Adamsdale is creating a body of work that rides roughshod over the boundaries between comedy and theatre, making us laugh even as it asks the big questions.’ The Guardian ()
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
I have avoided computers for as long as I could but recently this has become an impossible position. A technophobe’s guide to computers that delves into the wiry heart of the cyber web. (75 mins, no interval, 1 on stage, 3 on the road.)
A man flips out and searches the city for the owner of a receipt. Is he a hero, or an idiot? A little story told by two men, a filing cabinet and a Moog. Fringe First and Total Theatre Award Winner 2006. (75 mins, no interval, 2 on stage, 4 on the road.)
Winner of the Perrier Award for Comedy 2004. Part theatre, part comedy, is a modern-day parody of American motivational speakers and a satire on the world of self-help and corporate jargon. (90 mins, no interval, 1 on stage, 3 on the road.)
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
A collaboration with Neil Haigh and Matthew Steer, directed by John Wright. An exploration of lost souls and buried memories; the inheritance of nature and the nature of inheritance. (Length to be confirmed, 3 on stage, 5 on the road.)
