ARTISTIC POLICY
Chris Goode’s work springs from a total commitment to theatre as a radically live, unpredictable, unrepeatable encounter between artists and audience. Approaching the deeply emotional through the brain, and the vividly intellectual through the heart, the work presents daring ideas, sometimes in a challenging way, but always in the context of an informal storytelling style characterised by warmth and accessibility – so that even the darkest moments contribute to an ultimately uplifting experience.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Outstanding … Beautifully judged in the way it suddenly turns the emotional screws … Small but remarkable.' The Guardian (Longwave)

'Not so much a theatrical experience as a biochemical one. …Genuinely funny… serious, tender and unironic.' The Independent (Kiss of Life)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Longwave Bleakly comic drama about two scientists stranded together in a shack, with only an old radio for company. Performed without dialogue. (75 mins, 3–4 on the road)

Kiss of Life Funny but challenging solo performance in which a bored young man has his life transformed by a homeless, suicidal stranger. (80 mins, 2 on the road, occasional strong language)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
At Home in the World Site-responsive, part-improvised, storytelling show about attitudes to home and exploration. An epic adventure for the imagination, plays to audiences in their own home. (80 mins, 3 on the road)

WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY
Bespoke workshops for students (15+ years) or practitioners, based around shows or freestanding. Talks etc by arrangement. Post-show discussions welcomed.
