WHEREIN





Tangled Web
Directed by Emel Yilmaz Holifield



Role: JAMES


James and Eva are stuck. Pinned down by issues they need to unpack and trapped in a house they need to pack up. Unable to speak honestly in their own voices, the evening takes some beautiful and bizarre turns.


Written by Emma Webb

Performed by

Donald Craigie and Elizabeth Dobson


"A delicate, subtle and moving performance."

- Oxfordshire Theatre Makers


Once upon a time this beautiful script got a first line during a 24hr Play Project at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. Since then it's grown piece by piece, that first line is somewhere in the middle and there is an empty stage at the Old Fire Station Theatre waiting for a full story.

"A dream is a royal way into one's unconscious."

- Carl Gustav Jung


Movement, music and spoken word come together in a dance that dives into an intimate and playful realm of dreams and memories.
