AFTER MRS ROCHESTER
By Polly Teale
Directed by Caroline Leslie
‘You know what memories can be like - they flood into your mind, swirling around, intermingling with each other.’

The writer Jean Rhys was obsessed with Jane Eyre - and more particularly with Bertha Mason, the first Mrs Rochester and the ‘madwoman in the attic’. Placing Bertha on stage throughout as Jean's alter ego, Polly Teale's remarkable dramatisation of Rhys' life gives full vent to this obsession - which was to prove the catalyst for The Wide Sargasso Sea.

AN ABSOLUTE TURKEY
By Georges Feydeau
(trans. Nicki Frei & Peter Hall).

Feydeau's fast, furious and frenetic farce centres around the insanity of lust. There are no rules, everyone wants to sleep with everyone else and will stop at nothing to do so.

THE PITCHFORK DISNEY
By Philip Ridley
Directed by Kate Saxon

A pair of chocoholic twins with a fear of the outside world.

A speechless man in a leather mask.
Studded with dark jokes and images of shocking beauty, The Pitchfork Disney is a modern version of Babes in the Wood seen through an East End Gothic lens.
