SIMON KANE
_Jonah non Grata_
Is
it a paranoid cabaret of morbid isolation? Is it a church for a
churchless faith? Is it a loud man getting things wrong? Fresh from the
protracted success of Shunt’s Money, Simon Kane returns with this
intermittently thrilling biblical adventure in which you are the hero -
played by him!
“One of the half dozen greatest solo shows I have ever witnessed.” (Chris Goode)

JEREMY HARDINGHAM
_unfolding king lear a model_
"a
solo in which Hardingham seems to be, at one and the same time, chewing
and regurgitating King Lear, in a sort of terrible parody of circular
breathing techniques ….. it is the complexity, not as styling but as
argument, that ultimately is moving and impressive and jags in the mind:
for all the ferociousness of his inquiry into language and object and
abstraction and absence, as ever his work is alive with the essentially
theatrical discovery of how the individual, buffeted (as Lear is) by
what seem to be malign extraneities, contains and embodies all the
graces and desolations of properly collective response, and spells out
in poetry and grunting the massed chorus of aloneness." (Chris Goode)
"Terrifying, painful and utterly compelling" (Lyn Gardner (The Guardian))
