‘Dorian’ (Henley Fringe Festival)

Production date: July 2011

This was a re-written version of our musical adaptation of Wilde’s ‘Dorian Gray’. The Henley Standard commented:
‘As the BBC have so successfully re-invented Sherlock Holmes for the 21st Century’, so has writer and director Neil McCurley with Dorian Gray’
Cast: David Colbourn, Oliver Dench, Joel Ross

Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Norden Farm)

Production date: May 2010

Having had significant re-writes the company returned to their Lawrence adaptation for a successful run in Maidenhead. Less sexually graphic than the previous version but with the political content significantly more emphasised.
Cast: Will O’Connell, David Colbourn, Samantha Saul, Nadia Lamin, Ben Parsons, Joe Bensley

Cleansed (Norden Farm)

Production date: September 2009

The company returned to Sarah Kane with this companion piece to ‘Blasted’. The play deals with many of the same themes but caused more than a few raised eyebrows with its full frontal nudity and scenes of graphic violence.
Cast: Helen Sharrard, Oliver Longstaff, Chris Metcalfe, David Colbourn, Will O’Connell

The Picture Of Dorian Gray

Production date: October and November 2008

This was an original musical adaptation of Wilde’s classic novella updated to the modern world of celebrity culture. It is hoped that a re-worked version will be performed in early 2011.

Julius Caesar

Production date: October 2007

Adapted to be played by five people, each playing at least six characters,this was the company’s attempt to recast Shakespeare play as an up to date political thriller whose themes are still relevant to the 21st century.

The Pillowman

Production date: January 2007

Martin McDonagh’s violent black comedy marked the company’s return to the Oakwood Centre in Woodley. The play tells the rather gruesome story of a crime wrier who is arrested when it appears that the murders depicted in his novels are actually happening in real life.
