'The theatre becomes, quite nakedly, a kind of psychic echo chamber. It's remarkable theatre, executed with an exact brilliance that makes its sensual vividness all the more powerful. This is not to be missed.'
Alison Croggon, Theatre Notes

 

Part documentary, part urban thriller, Pin Drop is an award-winning, audio-sensory work exploring the phenomenon of fear in our daily lives: how we respond to a noise in the dead of night, a shadowy movement glimpsed down a darkened alley, or the stranger breathing down the phone. Drawing on a range of interviews with people from six to 92 years of age, this grippingly intimate work is told through 12 voices – one live, 11 pre-recorded. Household objects crackle into the imagination as stories both unnerving and strangely familiar unfold – conjured into life by Tamara Saulwick's riveting solo performance and Peter Knight's visceral score.
