REP: Radical Classical - 5 weeks, 5 plays, 5 actors at Riverside Studios

Flywheel Theatre Company, Veritas Productions, and Riverside Studios Productions present

REP: RADICAL CLASSICAL

5 ACTORS. 5 PLAYS. 5 WEEKS.

Rep is back. Inspired by traditional companies of the past, Flywheel use one of the most intense formats of theatre-making to celebrate 50 years of the iconic Riverside Studios.

With a season of plays inspired by half a century of past productions, Flywheel breathe new life into classics. Expect a season of comedies and tragedies that reflect today’s world - exploring themes of judgement, division, and the imbalance of power within family, society, and politics.

A core ensemble of five actors will perform in all five productions, embracing the flexibility and fast-paced nature of the creative work and injecting each show with a unique intensity.

Embracing the history of not just the plays, but the creatives who have worked at Riverside in the last 50 years, our interpretations of classics are inspired by legendary playwrights like Samuel Beckett; internationally renowned companies including Cheek By Jowl, Complicité, and The Wooster Group; and individually brilliant artists like Brian Cox, Helen Mirren, Peter Gill, and Simon Callow.
