Press Coverage for The Devil & Stepashka

24/6/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Now that the first two weeks of The Devil & Stepashka at The Space have come to an end, we throw a quick look back at some of the press coverage the production has received and give you a quick summary below.

First of all we had a series of interviews with various of the creatives involved and giving lots of further background details on the production and our journey to create it:
  • IdeasMag: Meet... Tessa Hart
  • OffWestend.com: Exciting new theatre company Goblin Baby talk to Tom Wicker about challenging audience expectations with their first full-length play THE DEVIL AND STEPASHKA
  • FemaleArts: Interview with Goblin Baby
  • The Space:: An Interview with Goblin Baby, creators of The Devil and Stepashka

Furthermore, the production also received great reviews!

★★★★ The superstitiously secular, domestic world of Claire Booker’s The Devil and Stepashka manages to create a believable male Antigone in what ends up to be very literally one hell of a double-bind. - Exeunt Magazine on The Devil & Stepashka (June 2014)
★★★★ The production is gripping and thought-provoking from beginning to end and left the audience with something to ponder and think on. (...) [Claire] Booker’s play is very brave as well as unusual and this production is one of those hidden gems on the London Fringe.
- Remotegoat on The Devil & Stepashka (June 2014)
Inspired by Tolstoy's The Devil, Claire Booker's play explores what happens when passion crosses over into obsession and - in keeping with the company's focus on political theatre - whether justice can ever be obtained within an inherently corrupt society. (...) The Devil & Stepaskha is an intriguing new work which leaves you alarmed that such obvious madness could play out so dangerously. 
- Views from the Gods on The Devil & Stepashka (June 2014)

Another 4 stars for The Devil & Stepashka!

18/6/2014

0 Comments

 
The Devil & Stepashka has received another 4 star review from Exeunt Theatre Magazine this time!
★★★★ Zhenya (Paul Christian Rogers) is a rational man. He knows that if he succumbs to his passion for the peasant Stepashka (Tessa Hart), his idyllic marriage to another woman will be wrenched out of joint. And yet he knows that he can never get Stepashka out of his mind. The superstitiously secular, domestic world of Claire Booker’s The Devil and Stepashka manages to create a believable male Antigone in what ends up to be very literally one hell of a double-bind.
Read the complete review at Exeunt Magazine
There are now only three performances left at The Space from 18th to 20th June, so make sure to come along!

We also offer a World Cup Antidote discount:

The Devil & Stepashka has received a four star review on Remotegoat and Views from the Gods also has lots of good things to say about the production! We have exactly four performances left at The Space (apparently the magic number is so four today).

Book your tickets asap! Tuesday 17th to Saturday 20th June.

★★★★ The production is gripping and thought-provoking from beginning to end and left the audience with something to ponder and think on. (...) The set was simple but clever. (...) The cast of four was diverse and international but all delivered solid performances. (...) Booker’s play is very brave as well as unusual and this production is one of those hidden gems on the London Fringe.

Our one-night-only benefit performance of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues last night was a big success and sell-out!

Many thanks to everyone who came, our fabulous cast and crew as well as The Space for having us once more.

The night also raised a lot of money for the charities Tender, Refuge as well as the V-Day Spotlight Campaign.

Also many thanks to photographer Nathan Edwards for capturing us so beautifully; check out the gallery for more!
