REVIEW EXTRACTS
'A small but perfectly formed labyrinth, built into the back of a truck. It arouses a gamut of emotions from unease and wonder to genuine shock and awe.' Independent on Sunday (The Black Maze)

'Part amused, part amazed, one wanders through the hall, looks, marvels and understands.' Neue Zuericher Zeitung (Of All the People in All the World)

‘A clever, entertaining and ultimately moving piece of theatre.’ The Birmingham Post (Home of the Wriggler)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Of All the People in All the World Over a period of time, population statistics are measured out and arranged in labeled piles. An emotive and provocative piece designed for galleries and public spaces. (Durational, 3–12 on the road)

Be Proud of Me Psychological thriller playing with time and memory, performed to a shifting backdrop of slides with a simple text built from tourist phrase books. (60 mins, 5 on the road)

The Black Maze A cross between a fairground ride, a sensory art installation and a rite of passage. A mixed-media adventure for all ages built in the back of a lorry. (Journeys through the maze approx. 5 mins, up to 6 hours per day, 2 on the road)

It’s Your Film Mixed-media theatre show that looks like a film but is performed live for an audience of one, 60 times per day. (4 mins, 4 on the road)

Home of the Wriggler A poetic documentary about car production set 1000 years in the future. All the show’s power is generated by its cast. (80 mins, 5 on the road)

FUTURE PRODUCTION.
The Cleansing of Constance Brown Performed along the length of an especially built corridor. A play of visual tricks and perspectives.
