Bridget Christie - The Court Of King Charles

Bridget Christie - The Court Of King Charles

You might think that a visual gag involving a woman with hair not dissimilar to that of King Charles II, dressed up as King Charles II might get old after a time. 

Crave

Crave

Rather more brief than its advertised hour-long timeslot, Little Agitations’ production of ‘Crave’ (by Sarah Kane) thankfully replaces quantity with quality.
