The Cleansing Of Constance Brown was conceived whilst performing It's Your Film
across Europe. It imagines that show grown up and expanded, the content changed but the ethos remaining.
The themes are power, the power of people who inhabit the rooms opening off this corridor, and cleansing, the
cleansing of a woman, Constance Brown, who appears to have lived in all ages, both here and around the globe.
Each scene and character is presented in highly
realised visual detailing of costumes props and acting. The corridor itself with its shifting configuration becomes
the 73rd character, blank, often menacing and unpredictable. Scenes intercut and morph into one each other making
connections across time and space.
The show is uninhibitted, a tour de force and we are very proud of it.
"It is an understatement to say that The Cleansing Of Constance Brown is a great performance, but understatement suits the British, so lets leave it at that"
Der Standard, Vienna
The Cleansing Of Constance Brown ... is an example of jut what a worthwhile festival should offer - visually delightful, imaginatively intriguing
and resonant ..."
Mary Leland, The Irish Times
