Theatre troupe Rhum and Clay clearly took inspiration from the likes of ‘Brazil’ and Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ for this physical theatre piece that was effectively staged, sharply performed and surprisingly funny. Set in a steampunk-esque dystopia the play followed an everyman who… Read more →
The Beta Males exude so much energy it can be exhausting to watch. Even as the audience entered they were Morris dancing and cajoling us to join in. This segued into a series of sketches surrounding Britain’s secret attempt to reach the… Read more →
This was an absolute treat. Supported by Chris Neil (whose conversational style hid some gems), Isy Suttie gave a performance that was as sweet and funny as you could ever hope for. This was the story of the titular Dave, Isy’s neighbour… Read more →
Triptych saw Brighton’s Feral Theatre present three loosely linked stories in Preston’s 13th century church, effectively combining storytelling, puppetry, music and dance.

Utilising film, puppetry, shadow puppetry and gruesome and delightfully delivered… Read more →
Guy Pratt has long been one of the UK’s top session bassists, both live (notably with Pink Floyd) and in the studio (for Madonna, Michael Jackson and many more). Watching him entertain the bar tonight with tales of his touring life, it’s… Read more →
The venue has always resembled an orderly Addams family household and James Lloyd Pegg, our engaging narrator, fittingly described taxidermy as the third option in death. With actresses interacting with our group throughout, and birdsong and strings echoing all around, this experience… Read more →
‘Diabolical’ wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice of word but it wouldn’t be too far off the mark to describe this lacklustre show. Magicians needn’t be flashy to spark the imagination of the audience, but they do require an originality with their… Read more →
