Review: HOWIE THE ROOKIE, Cockpit Theatre
April 27, 2026 Two technically brilliant performances illuminate a play interesting in form and content , but can't quite rescue its outdated approach to its key issues
Guest Blog: Artistic Director of The Cockpit, Dave Wybrow, on Why HOWIE THE ROOKIE Feels More Urgent Than Ever
April 21, 2026 We are staging Howie in the round because it offers special possibilities: people can see each other’s faces, which gives actors the chance to play to different sections of the audience for others to witness. The play is oration, and the Cockpit is two amphitheatres joined together. But it is also conflict and the Cockpit’s alter ego is an arena.About the Theatre
