Arthur Miller's gripping exploration of the mass hysteria which led to the executions of 20 innocent people during the 17th century witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. One of the most powerful plays of the Twentieth Century, it was written as a metaphor for the McCarthy era but is just as relevant in today's climate of religious intolerance, fear and misunderstanding. |

Trestle is back without its trademark masks but with sumptuous storytelling theatre, vibrant visuals, and powerful physical action. Influenced by South Indian traditions, Trestle reworks the classical story of Shakuntala for a modern age. Two people meet and quickly fall in love. One leaves and forgets, while the other is left holding their child, posing the question: if we forget what is important, how can we love what really matters? |

An ordinary man awakes one morning to find a police inspector at the foot of his bed. Unaware of his crime, he is plunged into a shadowy world full of incompetent policemen, over-zealous torturers, bemused judges, senile prison guards and lecherous inmates. Seamlessly fusing comedy, drama, slapstick and puppetry, Gonzo Moose create a hilarious, ludicrous and disturbingly anarchic world where anything can happen and frequently does! |

How do you make a relationship work when one of you is never there? How do you cope when you really like your boss? How do you control your arachnophobia when there are spiders everywhere? And how do you overcome the basic fear of living your life? Presence is the compelling new play from the writer of 2005's sell-out comedy, Reunion. For adults only. Especially the screwed up, stressed out, bottled up, confused ones. |
