Description

Peepshow tells the story of seven little lives in a large city. Frantic get under the brickwork of life in a tower block as two friends, four lovers and one loner expose glimpses of their urban lives to an audience of voyeurs. Can we trust what we see through the windows or what we hear throught the walls Do we really know what is going on behind closed doors Drawing inspiration from music videos, this is a peepshow with a difference, tantalisingly revealing flashes of life from a tower block to give you the taste without the touch of life in a high rise. Written by Isabel Wright and directed by Frantics Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett, Peepshow is a collaboration with groundbreaking band Lamb whose sound and songs lace this unique project.

Reviews

Frantic Assembly are nothing less than the bleeding edge of contemporary British Theatre * The Stage *
When did you last see groups of teenagers at the theatre on their own Tomorrow's audience for tomorrow's people. * The Guardian *
Young people. Heaps of them. An audience with a strikingly different profile to the average theatre audience: proof that Frantic are at the very forefront of getting 20-something's into the theatre * Financial Times *
