''No man is ever, truly, free.'

​

Our re-imagination of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt stripped back the story to its bare bones. Retaining the elements that make Ibsen's epic so loveable, we introduced new elements also.

​

We transformed the show into a psychodrama, showing Peer's Odyssean tale to be one of self-discovery.

​

With an original score loosely based on Grieg's incidental music, performed by an eclectic gang of musicians, we tipped our hat to the canonical whilst revelling in the present.

​

Written and Directed by Ben Jenkins and Jonathan R. Parsonage.

REVIEWS

☆☆☆☆☆ - 'Lovely intimate setting with a great cast. Was refreshing to see a non naturalistic take on an Ibsen play. You can tell the adaptation was well thought out and the energy was top form.'

​

☆☆☆☆☆ - 'Fantastic performance - very atmospheric !'

​

☆☆☆☆ - 'An intense and dramatic production that captured the essence of the original saga whilst at the same time modernising the setting. The minimalistic set concentrated the drama. I particularly liked the sound of the metal chains slithering across the flagstone floor of the venue, an unexpected bite of realism that added an extra something to the atmosphere.'
