Great piece in Theatre Reviews North about our new show with Silent Uproar Close Enough To Touch which starts touring in October 🤩

Henry Roberts' new play for Red Ladder and Silent Uproar explores the seedier side of secrets, s*x and the s*xual psyche. And toilets.

Audience Reaction from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe website.
You can read reviews, you can scroll photos, you can hear people describe it. But none of that compares to sitting in the theatre as the story unfolds around you.

Don't let WOODHILL become a show you wish you'd seen.
