Repeat annually.

Kim Noble: Lullaby For Scavengers - Soho Theatre, review

I left the theatre a tiny bit changed, a tiny bit furious and more than a little tearful, but then I cry at the sight of roadkill anyway, so maybe this show wasn't made for me. But, if provocative, transgressive thought-provoking theatre is your thing, then this is for you.
