REVIEW EXTRACTS
Psychologically astute and caustically comic.
The New York Times
So different from almost anything else you're ever likely to see in the theatre...a rare and wonderful thing.
The Guardian
For a more grown up public there was RUST...a surprising repository of technique, invention, good taste and wild humour, an extraordinary moment of theatre and music.
EXPRESSO/ACTUAL (Portugal)   

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
RUST
RUST uses grotesque puppets, animated sets and absurd humour to tell the tale of two pirate radio stations anchored in the same murky coastal waters. One transmits from an ageing lightship, whilst its arch-rival broadcasts from a submarine lurking just beneath the waves.
Contains strong language, violence and scantily clothed puppets. Duration 75 mins without an interval.Three performers, two technicians, 1 company manager.
Gaston (A static street theatre show)
A simple and elegant street show in which members of the public are invited to sit whilst an Old Master recreates their likenesses in his inimitable fashion, giving the caricatures away free of charge.
Gaston has been performed in twelve languages across four continents. With his instant portraits with cruel caricature and pencil-sharp wit, Gaston can ‘draw the crowds’ at any event.
Duration 20 mins up to six times daily. Two Performers.
