ARTISTIC POLICY
For 28 years, David Glass and the Ensemble have been making theatre that risks, experiments, innovates and celebrates. They have created 25 new pieces of physical and visual theatre and performed in 57 countries. The Ensemble is committed to performance, participation and learning. It creates powerful theatre; facilitates performance projects with marginalised young people through Lost Child International and trains in Arts Culture and Development through its S.E. Asia office and Centre For Creative Development in Cambodia. It is an associate company at Battersea Arts Centre, London.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'David Glass returns to active duty with this dark, often electrifying look at a man at war with his body.' Time Out (Disembodied)

'A gloriously impossible realisation of Mervyn Peake’s soaring flight of fancy.' The Guardian (Gormenghast)

'Thrilling… virtually every moment is a display of breath-taking virtuosity…unmissable theatre.' What’s On In London (Gormenghast)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Gormenghast One of the company’s most successful productions, Gormenghast won David Glass the TMA Best Director Award. (120 mins including interval, 7 on stage, 10 on the road.)

The Big 26 A new devised work by David Glass. Set in 1966, 2050 and now, The Big 26 is a comic noir thriller which imagines a dystopian future where all ideas are owned from the moment of their conception.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Metamorphosis A new look with reference to the effects of anti-depressant medication.

WRAP-AROUND
