The True Tragical Comical Romantic History of Edward de Vere,
17th Earl of Oxford,
courtier, duellist, adventurer and poet a.k.a. 'William Shakespeare'.
In his 7th solo show, George Dillon explores the extraordinary life of the man now thought most likely to have written Shakespeare, revealing why Hamlet is an auto-biography and why everyone has had it so wrong.
Ghost appearances by Burbage, Garrick, & Olivier

From the acerbic pen of theatre legend, Steven Berkoff, this award-winning, internationally acclaimed one man show is both a master-class in the craft of acting and a cautionary tale of the perils of entering the theatrical profession.
“One show that all those Edinburgh hopefuls
should see.” Guardian
“The best example of someone to watch how to perform.” Steven Berkoff

How much does it take?
Would you love someone enough to leave them forever? Inspired by a scene in a novel by Paul Auster, To Break a Man is a new piece examining a decisive moment from many angles. With the audience making decisions, the perspective changes every time. One woman, 720 different possible shows.

The earliest account of the life and teachings of Jesus, is as relevant, as inspiring and as terrifying today as when it was written.
George Dillon delivers his own translation with original music and video in a powerful solo performance. Nominated for The Stage 'Best Actor' Award in Edinburgh.
“The radical message has never sounded so revolutionary and utterly sensible.” Scotsman

Put four actors, a musician and an audience in an empty room with no script and what will happen? A live experiment with human nature, inspired by ideas of Grotowski and Brook.
|
 
A compelling double bill of Dillon’s most stunning performances from the ’90s. Two journeys into other worlds. An emotional roller-coaster of despair and salvation. (* The Dream of a Ridiculous Man )

Dillon has given over 100 workshops on Berkoff, physical theatre, acting solo & Shakespeare. Available subject to touring schedule. |
