Welcome
What do a singing teapot, a longing for the love of three oranges, the hunger for power and a legendary dancer have in common? Essentially nothing. But the stage offers sufficient space for a huge range of characters, feelings, themes, perspectives and moods, as well as tackling the big – and small – questions of life.
