CREATIVE PROJECTS

In a tender, fragmentary story about the inarticulacy of grief, this 2003 play by Olivier and Tony award-winning playwright, Simon Stephens, looks at the different lives touched by the investigation into a missing girl. Incorporating a cinematic score, video and puppetry, DELIRIUM create an ever-moving London that plays backdrop to five lives that are standing still.

Co-Director of the final 3rd year show 'Holes' by Louis Sachar.

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes.
