by Gary Naylor - November 10, 2013

Like a bad night in Sauciehall Street, Jon Gun Thor's version of Macbeth is packed with scheming, macho violence and blood. Well, it is The Scottish Play after all.

BWW Reviews: JEKYLL AND HYDE, The Southwark Playhouse, September 27 2013
by Alice Chappell - September 28, 2013

Flipping the Bird's striking take on a classic is an eerie, surreal production, swinging effectively from snuffed-up and abstract to the palpably mundane. Jekyll and Hyde will run at the Southwark Playhouse until October 19 2013....
