Correspondence
Menagerie
World Premiere
A man and a woman journey together through the night. Memories fade, stories expand, music seeps in, a grainy black and white film runs on. Correspondence is a travelogue of the heart which nods to classic film noir, winks to French romantics and pouts at surrealist art. "Absolutely compelling theatre." The Guardian
