‘This is theatre that genuinely collaborates with its audience, taking you on a journey, often outdoors,
always in unusual spaces, and inviting you to roll up your sleeves and engage with activity along the way.’

Joan Eardley: A Private View
Reviewed by Jan Patience, Herald Scotland:
‘This touring production feels like it is finally breaking down the barriers to understanding the power behind Eardley’s paintings. By scraping away the layers of this complex and fiercely talented individual, the audience is given a fleeting glimpse into her inner life. It made me weep – and that was a good thing.’
