Synopsis: | It is ostensibly a reminiscence about Mr. McDermott's youth; specifically, one day when he was about fifteen years old a poltergeist visited his home and wreaked bizarre but temporary havoc on it. Around this tale Mr. McDermott weaves stream-of-consciousness musings about his family, his unrequited search for a "beloved," the creation of this play, and the current, cluttered disarray of his existence. | |||||

Notes: | written with Julian Crouch | |||||
Synopsis: | Some background: Shockheaded Peter is inspired by The Struwwelpeter, a collection of short stories written by a German doctor named Heinrich Hoffman in 1844 to amuse his young son. Dr. Hoffman's sense of what would tickle a child's fancy is rather different than, say, Dr. Seuss's: the stories are outlandishly nasty and gruesome: unsettling little fables in which children who do not do what they are told meet frightening, violent deaths. | |||||

Notes: | written by Lee Simpson and Phelim McDermott. Based on the film by Stanley Mann and John Knott and the screenplay by Anthony Greville-Bell | |||||
Synopsis: | Seven self-regarding critics assemble at a disused theatre in response to a mysterious invitation. Too late they discover its gruesome purpose as Edward Lionheart, an actor frenzied by a lifetime of sneering reviews, hacks his revengeful way through the bloody works of Shakespeare, assisted by a gang of murderous tramps. The laws of theatre supersede the laws of physics in this macabre exhibition of putty noses, Kensington gore and some very large acting indeed. | |||||
