A witty, refreshing production on the media’s emphasis on sensation over truth that beautifully combines acting with live music, movement and puppetry.

Belying the show’s title, ‘Half a Person’ would appeal to not only Smiths fans, but also those not so familiar with their music.

Visceral, angry monologues express strong points of view about money in the art world. Both plays are heartfelt and well-acted, but corner themselves in extremes.

A funny show with great acting and comic timing. Deals with coming to terms with ageing without sentimentality.

This is a play about the men behind the curtain. It gives an alternative, and deeply disturbing theory on events that have shaken American politics since the 60s. A must if you’re a fan of conspiracy theories, and the secret games of the powerful.

This is a superb rendition of a classic philosophical drama.

An interesting play which captures a moment in history through the eyes of the privileged.

A play full of pathos, rage and loss; riveting to watch. If you want something both cerebral and dramatic with some polemic thrown in too, go and see it.

More than just a reinterpretation of a classic and familiar tale, this is a highly original and complex story of its own.

Pieces vary in effectiveness, but all have their strengths. A good opportunity to see some emerging talent.
