    End of year celebrations have sprung upon us once more as Minotaur Theatre Company arrived at Dunston Hall on the 10th June for a night of fun and festivities, but most importantly to find out who the company had voted out of the 9 perf...

    As we approach the end of the academic year, you’d expect plays at the Drama Studio to wind down in quality as everyone focuses on exams and dissertations. However Gabriel proved this to be an incorrect assumption.

    Written by Moira Buffini, the play tells the story of a British family during the Nazi occupation of Guernsey who take in an unknown man washed up the beach. The UEA product...

    ‘Tell me, what does the F-word mean to you?’ was the question of the night at Minotaur Theatre Company’s FemFest 2016, held at the lovely Norwich Puppet Theatre and hosted by the wonderful and hilarious Alice Haskell. The evening consisted of a range of fabulous feminist fun- music, dance, poetry, rapping, reading, a preview of the company’s Edinburgh play ‘Steam’ and a performance of the brilliant ‘The Hours Befor...

    Fastest Clock Review

    Teresa Baron

    I’m so excited to have the pleasure of reviewing Minotaur’s most recent production of Phillip Ridley’s ‘The Fastest Clock in the Universe', a show that was in incredibly high demand to be seen, and rightly so.

     

    Pip Williams and Kyle Flynn-Davies did not disappoint in their eerie interpretation and re-telling of the highly tense, yet humorous story of the perils of unrequited love and lust, amidst the intimacy of an...

    So the Rehearsal Room slot is popular as ever, and this year, selling out every night so far is 'The Fastest Clock in the Universe' by Philip Ridley. 

     

    'In a strange room in East London the party preparations are under way. Everything has been planned to the last detail. Surely nothing can go wrong? After all, there's the specially made birthday cake, the specially written cards, the specially chosen guest of h...

    Minotaurs first show of the year, Breathing Corpses is just weeks away from its first performance:

     

     When Amy finds a body in a hotel room, her path collides with self-storage manager Jim, and unsettled couple, Ben and Kate; all of whom have made shocking discoveries themselves. Minotaur Theatre Company returns this October with a play exploring the desperate search for happiness, as three tragic tales unfold simult...

    A Farewell to the 2014/15 Committee

    July 20, 2015

    Catherine McFall

    Every year, another bunch of keen freshers bravely put themselves forward to lead our wonderful company by running the Minotaur Commitee. Organising nine productions over the year, including a Shorts Festival, sending a show to Edinburgh and throwing a great Julians Awards is no mean feat! This year's committee is eager to take on the challenge, but we thought it would be a good idea to ask some of our pr...
