I would argue that one man shows and radio play adaptations are two of the most challenging and marmite choices in the industry. In the case of Guy Masterson's new rendition of Under Milkwood, is a wonderful journey into a snapshot of this unique Welsh community.

All For One
Oxford Playhouse is currently playing host to a younger cast than is typically found upon the stage, with Magdalen College School descending upon the space to bring to life the world of Dumas' musketeers. Filled with humour, singing and action, this is a performance well worth turning your attention towards...
Dressed In My Name
This is of the short and sweet variety of garden plays, leaning into the whimsey and literary history existing within the hallowed walls of Merton College. Entering into the familiar discourse of women in classical times, this play is not too politically minded.
My Story is one of Betrayal and Deceit
Court life is one of backstabbing and allegiances, where every decision you make could dictate the difference between life and death. This idea is the central premise to Raynes' Virtue's Cloak, a play which traces the trial of Robert Carr and Francis Howard for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury.
At the Stage Door
Have you ever considered the role of the stage door? That strange portal upon which's threshold character becomes actor or perhaps actor becomes public figure. Once you step through that door you are public property, no longer safe from everyone but those involved in your production.
Where Have all the Stars Gone?
What would you do if you could live forever? It's a thought we have all had I'm sure. Pulling us through time, this was a play which sought to be thoughtful and creative while not demanding that audiences sat and considered whether there was an overarching meaning to the story.
We Make, in Our Hoarding, Our Own Remembrance
What happens to us after we die? What do we become? Perhaps one day someone will remember us and try to piece these fractured things back together to create a person. This is the topic of Noah Wild's most recent play With All My Fondest Love.
New Years Resolutions
Welcome to the new year!
On the Edge of the World
You stand, bracing yourself against the elements and just stare. You know it’s not real, this sense of a barrier. This wall may have stood for centuries, its stone so old you daren't touch it, yet the world continues beyond. Farmland, woodland, crumbling walls… Tales of the wild fill your mind, those thoughts of wilderness that have inspired many.
A Letter From the Muses
Modern society asks us to pack away our creativity in favour of conformity, but what is the true cost of this?
