"...great acting meets classic writing.....Shakespearean acting at its absolute finest".
Three Weeks (Brighton Festival 2009)

"Sensational"
Sir Trevor Nunn


Following a 5-Star winning run at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe, sell-out performances at the Kings Head, Islington, the Rose, Kingston and the Rose, Bankside; Olivier award nominee and RSC actor Gerard Logan now presents his tour-de-force solo performance of Shakespeare's great narrative poem at the Octagon – bringing emotional intensity to this account of the terrible crime of rape and its dreadful consequences.

Theatre at its purist: a single actor, an empty stage - and the torment of rapist and victim spring brilliantly to life.

Gerard Logan has played leading roles with the National Theatre, and the RSC (Olivier Award Nomination). Director Gareth Armstrong has created many successful solo shows including his own award-winning Shylock.
