Dark physical comedy, Beyond Cragporth Rock, invites the audience to ride a rollercoaster of bleak laughs and horror. The lights rise upon a bizarre sprawl of bodies. A dystopian world, unseen by the reclusive Cragporth sisters for some years, has emerged following a financial and social crisis. The six sisters reside in a ramshackle cottage on the edge of an eroding cliff. Afraid of what might lie beyond the walls of their cottage, they live in constant fear of faceless foes and unspecified attacks.

Haste Theatre and Director Ally Cologna create a heightened and witty microcosm of humdrum family life put under intolerable pressure. Trapped, marooned, intensely fearful and jealous, they play deadly frivolous games of mutually destructive intent. With food stocks running low and tensions rising, suspicion leads to mayhem as this stomping black comedy ticks away to a terrible and tense finale.

A nerve-jangling, one-act tour de force, Beyond Cragporth Rock is a harmonious blend of clown, story-telling and dance, with a few a cappella harmonies and surprises along the way...

This show is suitable for persons ages 12+.
