"...Both actors in this production are remarkable considering the immense physical and vocal performances required of them." Clare McCraith, The Upcoming 

"Lucy and the Hawk is an enjoyable and well thought-out piece, which is at once funny, emotional and energetic. The design is great, and the performances razor-sharp". Louie Corpe, Everything Theatre.

"(Lucy and the Hawk) comes across as warm, mysterious and in many ways romantic." Thomas E Woods, What's Peen Seen.

The universe is a big place, and the world is full of people, and maybe we aren’t all so separate as we think.

Lucy and the Hawk is a comedy about loneliness and peregrine falcons. It’s a warm but surprising story that’s part mystery, part peculiar romance, and a love letter to the landscape of Northumberland.

 

"Stylish and provocative... guaranteed to challenge your assumptions" - BBC Manchester (on Homelands, Bolton Octagon Studio)
