Hunger

Pickled Image

A proud man struggles to break through as a writer. He is in a constant battle between his environment, the salivating monster inside him and the grinding, satanic mills of progress.

Hunger is a dark, grotesque and provocative performance of human survival and man's need to express himself.

Written by Knut Hamsun in 1890, Hunger is widely regarded as one of the first novels to describe the interior of the human mind, while Hamsun himself is considered one of the founders of the modern novel. Pickled Image's adaptation explores the salivating monster of Hunger, touching on madness, delusion and creative genius with just a few puppets, two puppeteers, minimal props and a haunting soundtrack written by Bristol composer Simon Preston.

Romeo and Juliet

Proper Job Theatre Company

Set in the heat of Southern Europe, the visceral backdrop launches the audience into the lives and woes of well-known lovers Romeo and Juliet.

The fast-paced dramatic performance strips back Shakespeare's text to its essential poetic prose, incorporating flamenco, striking physicality, powerful singing and music, affecting the audience with a sensory blowout.

This is a fresh and exciting interpretation of a classic text, which will take the audience on a journey of love and fear.
