Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui: M¡longa
June 18th, 2015 by Dorothy Max PriorA beautiful start – reminiscent of Pina Bausch. Or perhaps even a Gotan Project gig.

The Sagas of Noggin the Nog
June 8th, 2015 by Matt RudkinThis adaptation, directed by John Wright, of the popular children’s stories created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin is performed in a jovial pantomime style, with plenty of silly puns and sight gags amongst the storytelling. The four performers each function as narrators and also play several parts using puppets and quick costume changes. Nogbad the Bad is […]
