REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘This latest show from Frantic Assembly comes together like a perfectly designed piece of flat packed furniture and is a sinister joy.’ The Guardian (Stockholm)

‘The indefatigably inventive Frantic Assembly.’ Daily Telegraph

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

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Stockholm By Bryony Lavery. Treading a fine line between tenderness and cruelty, fantasy and reality, Stockholm reveals a relationship unravelling. It’s beautiful, but it’s not pretty. Stockholm delivers an extraordinary perspective on the nature of modern love. (70 mins, no interval, 2 on stage, 5 on the road, Includes strong language, violence and sexually explicit content.)

Dirty Wonderland Scripted by Michael Wynne and devised by the company. Inspired by the uncompromising photography of Nan Goldin and set to the power pop of Goldfrapp, a guided tour of excess around the ballrooms and bedrooms of a faded hotel. (60 mins, no interval, cast and crew size negotiable, includes strong language, and nudity.)

Hymns By Chris O’Connell. Brought together by a tragic event, 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. (75 mins, no interval, 4 on stage, 7 on the road, includes strong language.)

WRAP-AROUND
In addition to its work on stage, the company runs an extensive programme of activity to introduce young people to physical theatre and develop their performance skills and confidence. The Creative Learning Programme consists of workshops, creative residencies and teacher training, which explore devising and physicality or current productions. Frantic Assembly also runs a training programme for aspiring professionals consisting of workshops with the artistic directors in devising and physicality.
