Synopsis: England is a powerful, layered play that explores the significance of institutions: the gallery, the church, the hospital, and the relative values of art and heart. Using multiple voices and a scorching text, the performance surrounds the audience and implicates them in the story. Staged in a gallery space and therefore surrounded by the artefacts of other cultures, the show looks at difference and dislocation and the point at which cultures intersect. | ||||

Synopsis: I, Caliban takes one of Shakespeare's most misunderstood characters, and possibly widely-interpreted play (how many other Shakespeare plays have had such successful Rock and Roll adaptations and sci-fi re-tellings?) and recounts the events on Prospero's magical island through the eyes of his loyal, puppy-headed monster, Caliban. Left alone on the island as the events of The Tempest draw to a close, Caliban shares with the audience his memories, his magic tricks, but maybe not his one last bottle of wine! " O, Look at you. O, you're beautiful. You're beautiful. I've never seen such beauty. You are such fine things. You're brave spirits indeed. Sit where you can. Brave spirits or gods. Are you gods? Are you a god? No? You must be a god with a jumper like that." | ||||

Synopsis: an oak tree is the story of two men brought together by loss: a father whose daughter has been killed in a car accident, and the driver of that car-a provincial stage hypnotist. For the father, nothing now is what it was. Since the accident the hypnotists' act is a disaster. For him, everything now is exactly what it is. an oak tree is about the dramatic intertwining of human lives as the man and the hypnotist are reunited for the first time since the accident when the hypnotist inadvertently calls him on stage as a volunteer. The Father, however, is played by a different actor-male or female-at each performance. The second actor walks on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they're in. . ..until they're in it. Press Release | ||||
