An immensely compelling unrequited love story.

Imagine returning to your parents' home after a 12-year absence to find waiting for you the same resentment, animosity and general family dysfunction that made you leave in the first place.

Imagine having a Pandora's Box stuffed to the brim with family secrets and knowing that crossing that threshold is going to pry the box wide open.

Imagine that those secrets deal with matters of sexual impropriety and betrayal of trust – and still your life would not be half as disturbing as the characters in Coyote Ugly.

An immensely compelling unrequited love story tied up in one very high-strung family dram

"For many reason this play should be seen by everyone. Drama students and theatre-lovers alike will applaud fine acting by the strongest of casts, you would pay a lot of money in the West End for a class act like this"
Gene David Kirk

Journeys End

The Public Reviews

★★★★
"Journey’s End’ is very much an ensemble piece and it would be difficult and probably rather unfair to pick out one actor over another. Each and every performance is consummately delivered." Steve Burbridge

At the Mountains of Madness

Ija Pona

★★★★★
"We were treated to a show that was true to the H. P. Lovecraft original and made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I experienced frisson during last night."

Romeo & Juliet

British Theatre Guide

★★★★
Max Lewendel’s careful direction makes perfect sense of the tricky text, finding as much humour as possible in the early comic scenes. He keeps his actors on the move, each with purpose and justified intention.

Hamlet

Review Sphere

[Their] adaptation truly had rebranded Hamlet for the Game of Thrones age. It was daring and experimental and often risky, but it worked and proved that it is indeed a living and ever fluid piece of literature"Caroline Malcolm Boulton
