All-female Hecate Theatre Co. have never shied away from reworking the classics and their five-star (Theatre Bath, June 2014) Frogs is no exception. Aristophanes' Greek comedy tackles art, politics and ego-mania, asking the big question: how much do we really value the theatre?
Hecate's thoroughly modern Frogs follows the god of drama, Dionysus, down into the Underworld to find the greatest writer who ever lived. Whereas the original text features Greek playwrights, Charles Scherer's script includes a literary smack-down between William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, while Sara...
This was a challenging and thought provoking performance piece exploring confirmation-bias, our tendency to ignore evidence that does not fit our predefined views, and the writer/performer Chris Thorpe’s experiment to see if he could overcome his own bias.
He started the show with a bit of the science, using numbers to illustrate before moving on to Donald Rumsfeld’s notorious speech about “unknown, unknowns” – does this confirm to us how dumb the neocon presidency was or was it actually a brilliant encapsulation of the threats we face?

Described by none other than Sir Ian McKellen as 'uproariously funny', the HandleBards will be back on their bikes in 2015 for their most diverse season to date.
In May 2014, the HandleBards - four men on four bicycles - cycled out of London. Their mission? A 2000 mile tour across the UK, Holland and Belgium, carrying all the necessary set, props, costumes and camping equipment to perform two of Shakespeare's greatest plays - Macbeth and The Comedy of Errors - 72 times.
In March 2015 they will be reviving performances from this incredible tour, for two nights only, in the...
A motor-mouthed collage of spoken word and storytelling. Tales of paranoia, young love and ultra-violence. From the desk of Christopher Brett Bailey comes a spiraling odyssey of pitch-black humour and nightmarish prose.
With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies, THIS IS HOW WE DIE is a prime slice of surrealist trash, an Americana death trip and a dizzying exorcism for a world convinced it is dying...
