Review: Disturbo

Mizzen and Bare Legs Circus have co-directed an interesting piece that combines physical theatre, dance, rope work, and lip synch to bring a love story about intimacy to the ‘stage.’

Review: Dear Adults

A thought-provoking work, with impressive under-18 actors. Moving, inspiring, and sometimes funny.

Review: The Importance of Being Wasted

Take one well-loved satirical play, place it in a suitably-atmospheric room (with bar), identify two performers who have to keep drinking throughout the show, mix in a little audience interaction, and garnish with live music. In the hands of the fabulous Act/React team, you have a winner. Cheers!
