"Adapter/director, Kate McGregor, turns the lens inwards from the male gaze and investigates the psychology of Estella herself - she gives the anti-heroine her humanity, her justification, ultimately her triumph. It's about time really."

Thank you Broadway World and Gary Naylor for a review that captures the purpose of this play and why it's so important to re-frame classic stories for the stage.

"The foregrounding of support characters in classics, giving agency back to women specifically, is an interesting sub-genre of theatre that can only grow. The backroom conversations between Emilia and Desdemona made for the splendid Desdemona: A Play About A Handkerchief and listening in on the doomed children of Medea also made for another superb coup-de-theatre.

It's good to have her back."

Inroducing the final venue on our summer tour - Thorington Theatre. Isn't it an absolute BEAUTY!

The site is a bomb crater from WWII, which left a natural amphitheater in the woods. We are just obsessed with this incredible space and can't wait to hear the music from Estella echoing around this magical setting. 💫
