My Melodrama
“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”

Under the Shadow
Set amid the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, this play explores the boundary between the rational and the irrational and the psychological toll of war. It is based on the (BAFTA-winning) 2016 Persian-language supernatural horror film.
The story: when Shideh’s husband is conscripted to serve on the frontline, she is left alone with her young daughter as Tehran is bombed. The missile strikes bring terror and destruction and something more ancient and malevolent carried on the wind.
