A lost village, star-crossed lovers, mysterious wolves and the extraordinary story of a community trying to save what is most precious to them, before it is too late. Five hundred years ago, founding fathers built a log church in a small village deep in the heart of Transylvania, where the villagers still worship. Despite the priest’s fondness for tuica (a local plum brandy) and a tendency to side with the Tsigani in local disputes, life remained pretty much unchanged. But when Eveline, the lop-faced daughter of a leading family, elopes with Vadim, the crippled son of the Roma dancing clan, Father Nandru has twenty four hours to pull the situation back from the brink. At the last moment, mysterious wolves emerge from the forest with surprising advice before Father Nandru has a catastrophic vision of the village’s demise. Now the little community must put aside their differences once and for all and pull together if anything is to survive into the future. Julian Garner has lived in Scandinavia most of his adult life, first in Norway and, from 1998, in Finland, where he moved together with his Finnish partner, Motley-trained Theatre designer Hanna Horte. They set up a community Arts company, CulturaMobila, in 2004 and were nominated for a State Arts Prize in 2008. They collaborated with media artists Andy Best and Merja Puustinen on Speak No Evil, a huge outdoor event involving some 300 local people, for the European Capital of Culture celebrations in Turku, 2011. 'A typical folk tale, rambling, extraordinary, changeable and full of character and animation.' - What’s on Stage 'Julian Garner’s richly decorated folk play tells a story of community and kinship that has its heart and soul lodged firmly in the right place.' - Exeunt 'A celebration of traditional culture.' - British Theatre Guide

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
