In Romeo & Juliet, the audience are drawn into the world of Shakespeare’s legendary star-crossed lovers, where the sound, heat and colour of Verona are brought to life and we see the dark threat of the feud between the two families and the ever-increasing speed at which events hurry the lovers to their inevitable doom.

In Macbeth, Shakespeare’s exploration of the equivocation of evil and the unleashing of its brutal, destructive force is brought vividly to life. Vibrant language and physical theatre chart the devastating effect that one act of evil can have on an otherwise honourable and loyal man – we see how the ripples of that act spread to destroy both Macbeth himself and all those for whom he cared.

Time for the Good Looking Boy tells the extraordinary story of an ordinary young man, exploring the harsh realities of growing up, independence and the consequences of a journey which will change lives forever.

A touching, melancholy portrait of a nice boy becoming a good man…Time for the Good Looking Boy is a fringe gem, not to be missed.” ***** Tom King, Broadway Baby
