London
Hay Fever - Not Coward’s best play as it lacks any subtly and is more caricature but Howard Davies has given it a very good production . . .
’Tis Pity She’s a Whore- Visceral, moving and disturbing, this is a production that wears its bloodied heart on its sleeve, bringing this classic play pulsating into the 21st Century.. . .

A Midsummer Night’s Dream- When Filter re-imagines this most famous of Shakespeare’s comedies, you can count on it being completely different-- and so it is . . .
