It was a night of cinematic imagery all round, from the colourful splashes of Oliver Knussen’s “Flourish with Fireworks” and Sergey Rachmaninov’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini”, to Dmitry Shostakovich’s “Symphony No. 11 in G minor, The Year 1905”.

“Any c**t can sell a pen, it takes a genius to sell a pen that’s not there.” Sir Gregor MacGregor, Liberator of Florida, Hero of the Venezuelan Revolution, Hero of the Peninsular War, and cazique of Poyais is holding a seminar on achieving success. The sycophant, liar, and unlikely entrepreneur is ready to teach how you can create the person you want to be. The Wolf of Poyais is a riotous, hilarious, thoroughly insane watch.

Degraft’s performance follows suit with spotless shifts in tone and body language that allow him to slip in and out of his collection of characters with clarity.
This is a delight of a play. It’s hilarious, uncomfortable, tender, thought-provoking, and utterly captivating. Amna, a young Pakistani Muslim girl, has just turned 18. Desperate to carve out an identity for herself after feeling invalidated in her super conservative household, she opens an OnlyFans. She’s been fetishised for being South-Asian, she might as well be paid for it! “It’s all a game,” she says, pointing her hot pink vibrator at the audience as if it were a gun. And on the surface, it is indeed all fun and games. But Farah Ashraf goes deeper, analysing the societal expectations of immigrant parents, their hopes for their children, and the immeasurable pain of growing up.
This is a production that enthrals.
