The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? This play imagines a world where we are forced to say less. It is about what we say and how we say it, about the things we can only hear in the silence; about dead cats, activism, eye contact, and lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons.

2022 Season
'Cranford' by Elizabeth Gaskell
adapted by Robert Alderman
Performances in London, early July 2022, and
The Minack Theatre, on the cliffs at Porthcurno, Cornwall,
5-8 September 2022
Robert Alderman has written and is directing an original adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford, which will be performed in London in July 2022 and at the stunning Minack Theatre, on the cliffs at Porthcurno, Penzance in Cornwall in September 2022.
In Cranford the idiosyncratic but endearing ladies hope to preserve their gentility, lifestyle and social customs from change. They combat the changing world around them. Chief among the setters of norms and customs are the Jenkyns sisters, Miss Deborah and Miss Matty, who are challenged when Captain Brown comes to town with his more worldly approach to life. At the same time Dr Frank Harrison arrives to assist Dr Hoggins but ends up opposing the older doctor who is set in his ways. The unmarried ladies of the town vie for his affections but his heart is set on Sophy Hutton, the vicar's daughter.
The tranquillity of the town is disturbed by tragedy, blooming romance and comic mishaps.
