REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Impressive… compulsively watchable.' The Times (pool (no water))

'Faultless and mesmerising, this production is a triumphant show.' The Guardian (Dirty Wonderland)

'The indefatigably inventive Frantic Assembly.' Daily Telegraph

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
pool (no water) By Mark Ravenhill A visceral and shocking new play about the fragility of friendship and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success. Soundtrack by Imogen Heap. Contains strong language and nudity, suitable for 16+ years. (80 mins, 7 on the road).

Dirty Wonderland Scripted by Michael Wynne and devised by the company. Inspired by the uncompromising photography of Nan Goldin and set to the sex-driven power pop of Goldfrapp, this guided tour of excess around the ballrooms and bedrooms of a hotel detonates the idea of the ‘dirty weekend’. (60 mins, cast size negotiable)

Hymns By Chris O’Connell. Brought together by a tragic event they had no control over, four men mourn a loss. With little but memories left between them, with nothing to do and nowhere to go, they press each other for the truth. Frustrated by bottled emotions and evasive small talk, not everyone is ready for the truth. (75 mins, 7 on the road)
