REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Powerhouse of a theatre.’ Sunday Times

‘The Bush, that admirable champion of new writing.’ Evening Standard

‘One of the most experienced prospectors of raw talent in Europe.’ The Independent

CURRENT PRODUCTION
How to Curse By Ian McHugh. Witty and dark first play fusing the naturalistic with the supernatural in a compelling examination of burgeoning sexuality. (90 mins, no interval, 3 on stage, contains strong language, violence, sexually explicit behaviour and semi-nudity.)

The Dysfunckshonalz! By Mike Packer. The spirit of 1977 lives again in this rude and raucous comedy when middle-aged ex-punk band members attempt to stage a comeback. (Running time tbc, 5 on stage, contains strong language.)

Helter Skelter/Land of the Dead By Neil LaBute. A double-bill of one-act plays displaying what Time Magazine calls LaBute’s characteristic ‘pointed dialogue and acid-tipped everydayness, both devastating and dangerously funny.’ (Running time tbc, 2 on stage.)

WRAP-AROUND
The Bush offers a varied programme of education, training and professional development for different sectors of the community.
