All you need to know about Signal to Noise, Complete Works Online and more 40th Birthday events

A quick glimpse behind the scenes: Signal to Noise in the final stages of rehearsal

Signal to Noise is coming together in the space at PACT Zollverein, ready for the world premiere on 21st March. Talking about the rehearsals, Tim says “a big part of this last week of the process is attempting to fix and repeat material created earlier in the rehearsals. It’s painstaking,  as the expressions suggest. But wearing a wig seems to help.”

Signal to Noise will run at PACT until Saturday 23rd March before heading to ​​​​​​​Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt, Hau in Berlin and Holland Festival in Amsterdam plus other summer festivals. You can catch it in the UK this Autumn at its premiere at the Southbank Centre followed by a UK tour.

Complete Works Online

The Guardian featured Complete Works Online in their roundup of the best theatre to stream this month, They suggest starting with Terry O’Connor’s Hamlet and describe the entire collection as ‘irreverent, insightful and addictive’.

As part of our 40th Birthday celebrations we have put the whole collection of 72 videos online alongside some additional reading and audio-visual material, including a specially recorded introduction to the collection by Tim.
