Description
PANIC
'This is a company which has hoicked theatre into a new place and whose every wince and wobble is worth watching, let alone its wonders.' THE OBSERVER, UK
‘… one of the most innovative theatre groups to emerge in Britain … a thoughtful, instinctual piece of theatrical mischief.’ THE TIMES ONLINE, UK
Love. Sex. Panic.
Come into the forest. Where the nymphs bathe and play. Where Pan sleeps. Careful not to wake him, he is the bringer of Panic.After provoking Sydney audiences in 2006 with The Hanging Man, Improbable returns with their latest production Panic.
'A mischievous series of riffs on love, sex & vulnerability.' THE GUARDIAN, UK
Drawn from personal stories and current obsessions, this tale of love and unsettling illnesses is Improbable at their best. With brown paper and projections, many self-help books and some very chaseable nymphs, Panic is hugely entertaining.

Reviews
‘One of the most energizing and provocative forces in British theatre.’ THE GUARDIAN, UK

'This is a return to the sort of improvisationally developed, small scale show that marked Improbable as one of the most innovative theatre groups to emerge in Britain in the mid 1990s. They might be the first to deny it, but these people know how to assemble a thoughtful, instinctual piece of theatrical mischief.'The Times, UK
‘Frisky, funny and often forlorn…I loved it.’ DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK

'...conceptual, experimental and frankly bonkers theatre that flies by the seat of its pants and in the face of convention.' METRO, UK
'The latest show from the delightfully maverick Improbable Theatre is a mischievous 100-minute series of riffs on love, sex, vulnerability...there is much to enjoy here, including its fumbling honesty, Nick Powell's live music and a ravishing design by Julian Crouch and Phil Eddolls...The final 10 minutes alone are reason enough to give this Pan house room.' THE GUARDIAN, UK
'Playful and strangely magical, a dreamlike patchwork of fact and folklore.' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, UK
'Improbable are masters of mixed media and meta-theatrical whimsy.' TIME OUT, UK
