Simon Gleisner talks about directing Ray Cooney’s Two Into One and the challenges staging a farce presents. What made you decide to direct this particular play? I chose this play because I love doing comedy, but I think it’s a real challenge to do well. And with farce, there’s no escape – there’s no underlying meaning, no hidden depths, no great social message. It’s about making people laugh. So the pressure is on! Your last SLT show as director was School for […]
It will come as no surprise that William Shakespeare is South London Theatre’s most performed playwright. As well as nearly 40 fully fledged productions of his plays, SLT has presented about a dozen Shakespearean shows in the form of adaptations, excerpts and parodies.

8pm, May 24-28 “… a meticulously written play … that slowly turns you inside out.” Juniper is looking for love, Robert is trying to avoid it, Ollie doesn’t know what it is, while Meg believes she will never experience it. On one hot July day in London the four of them orbit each other, unaware that they are rushing towards a single moment that could devastate them all. Alice Birch’s play is a taut modern piece of theatre that cleverly holds […]
