Joe Hancock
A Show About Faded Childhood Genius, Which Is In No Way Autobiographical
Joe Hancock (male, underachiever, 24) is growing up and doesn’t seem to be okay with it.
Help him realise all of the dreams he had as a child.
It is a work in progress, and therefore he is reluctant to write anything here that he may later be obliged to include, as he has had his fingers burnt like this before (see Edinburgh 2009/2010/2011).
Instead, he is going to make up the word count with some of his favourite words.
Kettle. Euphonium. Vernacular. Oratory. Cack.

Gloriator
Gloriator is our first collaboration and an attempt to create a show which is very funny but also has a narrative arc. As performers we use clowning, physical theatre, improvisation and audience participation. The relationship between the two characters forms the heart of the show, and we want to find a journey for them.
Rambling Heart
The Vaudeville Icarus
Bring out the Storyteller! Prepare to be amazed!
A bold re-imagining of a classic tale, The Vaudeville Icarus invites you to join us for a variety show which has all but lost its sparkle. As the stage is swept clean, one burnt out act remains to sing us the song of the city, the song of the folk.
Rambling Heart create interdisciplinary theatre rooted in storytelling and folk art. We create work that connects with and involves our audiences, leaving you thinking and, more importantly, feeling.

The Last Dance of the Twenty Somethings…
I am strong. I am always active. I am the last star at the end of the universe, burning out like a diamond mine.
Two women, alone, together and within the audience. Laying bare what it is to be one’s self. Me.
Tripping through fantastical stories, delusions or just the plain truth they wind through the internal processes of the indulgent mind.
Through physical performance, text and a cocktail of theatrical devices, witness the comic and absurd confessions of the individual.
Gergo Danka
He Was a Bad Man
Loosely based on a successful original Hungarian play, HE WAS A BAD MAN explores the human sides and vulnerabilities of a criminal man. Petrified, yet daring to ask questions about issues such as domestic violence, human nature and behaviour, Hungarian-born actor Gergo Danka examines the power of love, commitment – but above all: how we judge who is good and bad.
Collaborating with a team of international artists, this one-man show will ultimately feature an original score as well as authentic Romany music from Hungary, and will tour theatres in the Midlands and the South West.

Wonderful World Dissocia
Concept, Direction and Design by Anne Pawlak
Music by Simon Humes
Performers David Bergere, Laura Markham, Sandy Gerling
2 performers, sound and scene- a performative installation.
Combining audio-visuals and physical storytelling to create an abstraction of the opening act of Anthony Neilson’s Wonderful World Dissocia.
Using ‘infographics’ and modern-popular stylistic references as starting points for the structure and look of the stage, the performers are choreographed through the set and, complemented by the bespoke soundscape, a unique and immersive outcome is reached, sitting somewhere between theatre and installation.
