Short Shrifts is currently showing at the Tobacco Factory Theatre: The Brewery till Sat 7 July
“The players combine poetry, music, drama and movement in performances that embrace the realms between the forms…The energy emanating from the actors on stage is remarkable, and their enthusiasm reaches right out to include the audience – during many of the scenes you feel part of the production… ...with a couple of chairs or a bit of cloth we are transported to many different places – some funny, some poignant and some gruesome! The evening passes by in a flash, surely a sign of a good show! I would recommend going to see this production - or should I say these productions – see what you make of them.”

The Public Reviews
“Bizarre and often beautiful. The writing is superb, both real and surreal: clever, lyrical, and often savagely funny.” “Despite the disparity, these pieces hold together through an enchanting discordancy: however absurd or baffling the situation there's always a thread of uneasy but palpable connection with human feelings of frustration and longing, hope and disappointment. I absolutely loved the cadence of language and the theatricality of form in this boundary-pushing writing, and the actors ~ Josephine Larsen, musician Nemo Jones and the writer himself ~ are stunningly good.”
