A double-bill presented as part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's Summer Festival.
King Troll by Sonali Bhattacharyya
A folkloric thriller examining the complex narratives and emotions surrounding the asylum system.
“Nerves jangle from the first moment, and never get a chance to calm during this cracking show that nudges activist drama into atavistic horror.” The Guardian
The Crocodile by Tom Basden
A play exploring the crossovers in human and animalistic behaviour - based on a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky and written for the Manchester International Festival 2015.
"Tom Basden turns Dostoevsky’s allegory of capitalist inhumanity into a sharp satire on political celebrity in the Twitter age… by turns absurd, charming, and subtly sinister." The Times
