Accolades
Broadway Baby -
“The stark score is spellbinding, adding movement and pathos to the piece, as well as contrasting with the perfectly-timed haunting silences. Everything about the production is choreographed to perfection, with every person’s movements embodying their character, using the space, and aligning with their fellow performers for all synchronised movements and speech. There are some stellar performances, with Christopher C. Cariker’s Doctor Moreau touching the right sinister notes without ever becoming pantomime. However, every single performer was able to perform a stunning range of characters, from half-witted pig creatures to a wild female puma to a conference of scientists to the creepy alcoholic sidekick to Moreau. An absolute must-see.”

“Tonight we were mesmerized by a stunning performance of an innovative, visceral, and commanding adaptation of H.G. Wells’ ....”
Three Weeks - Edinburgh Festival guide -
“... From the minute the lights came up, I sat on the edge of my seat. This innovative piece combines the music of one instrument with the pure talent of five intriguing actors to give a piece of dramatic excellence. The actors share roles, changing from one character to the next, transfiguring from humans to animals and then back to humans again. This adaptation of ‘The Island Of Doctor Moreau’ by HG Wells is purely physical and utterly fascinating, a powerful performance that takes the audience on a journey from the minute they sit down. With nothing more than simple lighting, black back drops and five simple costumes – it’s chaotic, gripping and breathtakingly amazing.”
