Ockham’s Razor’s prod of Tess, is a beautiful reimagining of Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Set, lights & costumes chimed with my own ascetic. Ingenious choreography - a fusion of dance, physical theatre & balletic circus/acrobatics. Evocative & ethereal storytelling. Catch it, if you can. Tour dates ⬇️
