Angel Of Mons Berezina Siege, TheAngel Of Mons
Synopsis:
amidst the slaughter-strewn battlefields of The Great War, Man recreates the world in his own image. Gabriel falls to earth, but his message of hope is lost in a land where honour is revenge, suffering an art, and innocence has no currency. In the face of this mud-stenched attempt at salvation, Jesus has to take an eye for an eye. angel of Mons is a powerfully dark, richly poetic exploration of Man's progress in a godless world.

Synopsis:
Set during Napoleon's infamous retreat from Moscow in 1812, the play charts the misery and horror of one of the worst military disasters in history. Napoleon is haunted by 'The Dead', Marshall Ney fights to keep mind and body together, Bernadette uses all her cunning to keep her father alive, and Eugenie journeys through the nightmare landscape trying to find her husband, the injured Oudinot. acts of violence, greed, sexual perversion, and cannibalism abound, yet ultimately the play focuses on the redemptive power of love; told with a dark poetic language and performed with in a stylised and physical way, Berezina is a powerful and moving exploration of the struggle of love in an immoral world.

Synopsis:
1565: the Knights of St John protect Malta from the Turkish onslaught. In the chaos of war, dogmatic leadership falls prey to religious ecstasy, purity is fouled by desire, and the idle rich play games of debauched manipulation in a brutally poetic exploration of extremity. Moving away from the predominant naturalism of the theatre, the play experiments with verbal and physical stylisation to create an excoriating analysis of what it is to be human in a crisis.
