The Reduced Ring Cycle is a comic Poperatic version of the entire Ring Cycle by Wagner arranged for two opera singers and puppets. It's a funny and dramatic tale of gods and monsters with film animation sequences and amazing puppets bigger than you could possibly imagine. Expect fire breathing dragons and dwarves in smoke filled caverns.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner a one-man re-telling of Coleridge’s classic poem. Let the Mariner take you with him on his journey: across the ocean, into the soul, and through the beer gardens and village greens of rural Somerset.

A cautionary tale of a thoughtless act and a life of suffering; of cruelty, penance and redemption. Dare you listen? And what will you learn?

“Vibrant and mesmerising… a fantastic performance. Brought to life an old local story that I’ve never been able to engage in as a reader. Genius use of space.”
