‘Adrift’ was intricate.

‘Adrift’ from Counterpilot was a compelling, intricate, and technological piece; a mechanically-immense and impressive work.

‘Islander: A New Musical’ was Fisherfolk-tastic. Audiences will be enchanted by the modern Scottish folktale that is ‘Islander: A New Musical’, a story impressively told through the voices of actors who record and mix their songs using looping technology – live on stage.

‘Phantom of the Opera’ was breathtaking.

Performing to a sold out season before they had even opened, it’s community theatre like you’ve never seen before.

‘Buyer & Cellar’ was aspirational.

‘The Bluff’ was confusing.

‘Output’ was relatable.

Coleman Grehands creative and fantastical use of sound and words will challenge the audience’s perception of theatre, the social climate and the future of technology.
