DR GLAS by Jeffrey Hatcher, adapted from the novel by Hjalmar Soderberg
The novel that scandalised Scandanavia, Hjalmar Söderberg’s 1905 psychological thriller is brought vividly to life in this stage adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher. Although “vividly” may seem an odd word to use when the stage is set with only two simple chairs, Dr Glas is brought to life in all his complexities with remarkable clarity by veteran British actor Daniel Gerroll. Based on the David Barrett English translation first published in…

Devour Me
Outside the theatre we found a small, crumpled note on the ground, written in a delicate hand. It began with three words, Please Devour Me. In this third installment of the Cheetah Banks cycle of performances Rico Rico, Sandi Bonbon, Speak English, and Crabwalker inhabit sensorial spaces and soundscapes, like a Venn diagram of movement, sound, texture, and altered states.
Dentata
Long ago, women knew the true pleasure and power of the pussy. They played with it, they seduced with it, and they weaponized it. “Dentata” is a joyful, riotous, feral exploration of feminine ferocity, told through the poetry of witches, a misunderstood Medusa, games with the audience, and of course, a giant operatic vagina puppet.
