ARTISTIC POLICY
To present experimental, new Scottish work, often site specific and with strong visual values as well as lesser known works by modern classic writers.  Recent productions have included: Inferno, a promenade piece based on Dante’s epic poem, performed throughout a labyrinth of tunnels and corridors with a cast of 100; Beckett, The Basement Tapes, a promenade production of Krapp’s Last Tape; and Rockaby; I Confess in which 20 audience members experience one-to-one confessions from 20 actors.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'An extraordinarily intense and challenging 21st century theatre experience – rich in human contact.' The Scotsman (Spend A Penny)

'Andy Arnold’s brilliantly executed production... intimate and intimidating.' The Guardian (Spend A Penny)

'A stunningly pertinent play... extraordinarily good.' Daily Mail (Snuff)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS

Snuff  Written and directed by Davey Anderson (one of the National Theatre of Scotland funded Unmissable productions).
