Sommaire
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM depicts the unremitting battle for human survival in a merciless environment: the theatre.
IDOMENEUS is a narrative play written for a large chorus which re-tells the classical Idomeneus myth in contemporary terms; a fractured, mythic tidal wave, brought to life with astounding theatricality by an ensemble of storytellers.
PEGGY PICKIT SEES THE FACE OF GOD has been likened to a post-colonial Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Here two doctors who have returned from Africa reveal the true cost of their failure to combat a terrible and frightening disease.
THE FOUR POINTS OF THE COMPASS is an urban fable of crossed destinies and uncanny coincidences and a compelling contemporary tale of lust for life and the fragility of existence.
