Upcoming Performances
Poll Function 2.0
"If I could watch this again and again and again I would" ★★★★★ - Broadway Baby
‘This is a triumph’ ★★★★ - LondonTheatre1
"Shewring has created a tender portrayal of young male friendship that has the maturity and insight to bother representing those often ignored and making their views valid, their humour funny and their lives matter.”
- Exeunt Magazine
Jez and Pam. Two west country plonkers returning to suburbia to wreak havoc on childhood dreams and a system they believed would bring them future opportunity. Confined within a car for most of the journey, old secrets are aired out and open questions are asked about who they have become since leaving the suburbs. Speeding through girls, grades and badgers, they fight, spit, cry and kill but still find it hard to accept their feelings are only human.
Blending unfaltering dialogue and physical expression with a booming backseat soundscape, Poll Function is a hilariously empathic exploration of youthful hedonism and social responsibility in 2017.
"It’s always encouraging when a small startup theatre company in one of our main regional centres, hits the ground performing to the highest standard."

"A play that will make you laugh, cringe and cry in equal measure, Poll Function is a masterstroke. [It] delves into the world of the outcast and disenfranchised: the young men who screwed the system and got screwed back."

"As it is, it’s a moving (in more than one sense of the word – the two characters seem to spend a lot of time in a car) piece of theatre, with much to think about for both the upcoming generation and their parents."

"It is imperative you call ahead to reserve your tickets."
So when we see young people come up we say, "Good Gracious! Isn't this great, to see the human race is still doing it's stuff. I wonder what they'll have to teach us?"
