Celebrating the vinyl record from the Velvet Underground to Cat Hope.
With a bit of trimming and a more energetic, full-voiced realisation of the songs and the text, this piece would shine.
The fragile beauty of memory and the absurdist comedy of the office.
This theatrical conceit has some rich ideas but falls short of orbit.
A wonderfully rendered (if perhaps over-faithful) staging of Sondheim’s masterpiece of a black satire.
From gorgeously ornate audiovisual storytelling, to endlessly inventive rough theatre.
Drab reality recrafted into a dream-world rich, strange, and tragic.
