A Christmas Carol : A Ghost Story of Christmas: A new and faithful adaptation of Dickens' classic tale: A lonely, bitter man undergoes a remarkable transformation one Christmas Eve. Rendered with actors, puppets, music and storytelling. Nominated for Chalmers and Dora Mavor Moore Awards, 1994
Mad Boy Chronicle: From the mists of time, from the fens of Viking Denmark: a timeless tale of murder and revenge. A young boy plots the murder of his uncle in a world rife with religious turmoil, wandering spirits, rollicking horror and merciless humour.
Oliver Twist; or The Street Boy's Progress: Charles Dickens' 1838 tale of abandonment and survival: an orphan child wanders, lost in a world with no pity. This epic version is more faithful to the spirit of the original novel than ever, using narrative, music and surreal imagery to send out a challenge to the present day.
The Barber of Seville!: Beaumarchais' classic comedy of love, loyalty, and anarchy on the eve of the French Revolution as retold in a rollicking new version. Songs based on melodies from Rossini's famous opera. Jokes by Theatre Columbus by way of the Marx Brothers. Loud, lush, and just a bit rude.
