ABOUT “PETER”
George Hull’s viscerally intense new play, presented by Anatrope Theatre, explores sibling rivalry, awakening sexuality and the supernatural.
Do you believe in miracles?
Only a miracle can save Daniel’s mother. Miracles are his brother Peter’s speciality. Can Daniel expose Peter as a fraud, and set himself free, without betraying terminally-ill Sandra?
Against the backdrop of the liberation of Iraq, Peter takes an open-minded look at the transformative powers of religious inspiration – the hope it can sow, the havoc it can wreak.
At two sold-out previews of Peter this March, audience-members described it as ‘powerful’, ‘very moving’, ‘frightening’ and ‘extremely funny’.
ABOUT “NO COMMENT”
Emma is powerful. Emma is rich. Emma is successful. And Emma wants to kill herself.
When a police officer stops her and convinces her to open up to him, a story of passions, betrayals and absence begins and both participants get more than what they bargained for.
"No Comment" is an original play with comic and dramatic elements that explores human nature to its limits. With a direct script, minimal set, original music, intense physicality and the use of short films as flashbacks, Amalia Kontesi's play is a refreshing and intimate theatrical experience which makes the audience feel fully involved.
