We had the pleasure of welcoming Bunch Backed theatre for a short run of their bold, dystopian take on Richard III. A new company with a great visual style, an audacious approach to the text and fantastic performances, they're a promising new voice capable of attacking a classic text with energy and verve. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.

One of the most frequent pieces of audience feedback concerned the fluency and spontaneity of Ken's Greek. He communicated so directly and so expressively that it seemed he was speaking his own native language. The creativity of the ways he found to keep the lines in his head and to match the sounds with their meaning was really astonishing. The second standout element of Jack’s performance was his physicality. He imbued his Apollo with a haunting and captivating sense of movement.

Taylor is perfectly brooding as Edward Scissorhands look-alike Jasper and plays the role with conviction. This production has so much charisma and passion that it lingers with you long after the show has finished.
