  • Shaun Leisher: SUMO

    A quiet and intimate play about a sport so epic and brutal. I love the Dring balances the play between teaching the audience about the history and tradition of sumo and the toll it takes on these specific characters. I have been introduced into a world I knew so little about and that's what great theatre can do. I am in awe of the theatrical images Dring has painted with her words and can only imagine how beautiful this play will be fully staged.

  • Shaun Leisher: Black Americanah for Sale

    This series of vignettes is full of poetic language and brutal imagery that I can't wait to see fully realized on stage. Excellent piece for an ensemble of actors to really get to the heart of the theatrical form.

  • Shaun Leisher: the zoo

    A visceral and vital reaction to the #metoo movement. A play that feels at times like an absurd comedy but then becomes a guttural call to action. The ending is something that will stay with me for a long time.

  • Shaun Leisher: The Elephant is Very Like

    The theatrical tradition of the kathakars is one that is brand new to me. I am so glad to have been introduced to this in this brilliant play about decolonizing and a woman finding her own voice in a world that historically only allowed men to be heard. Can't wait to see this staged.

  • Shaun Leisher: Sahi Vaqt Pe OR The One with the Biological Clock

    I love unapologetic Ratur is about having large portions of this play in Hindu. This is a story that so many women can relate to but by not giving the option to translate into English, Raturi makes it clear that this is a play for Pakistani and Indian women and everyone who doesn't speak the language will just have to deal with it. A wonderful brief moment in the lives of these three characters that are all trying to make sense of their lives.

  • Shaun Leisher: adda

    Theatre in its purest form. Nothing needed except a story to tell and those willing to hear it.

  • Shaun Leisher: Working for Crumbs - A Dead Body Farce

    So much physical comedy in this play. Can't wait to see this produced.

  • Shaun Leisher: 4 girls the first letter e

    A story that seem so unbelievable but then you remember it's based on true events. A play about growing up and obsession that is utterly chilling.

  • Shaun Leisher: Budgie

    A one act with some really witty dialogue and moments for real physical comedy.
