Brew Hill
Pecadillo Productions • Student/Youth company
About the show
Brew Hill is a dark comedy new writing piece about Gordon, who suffers from panic attacks and is obsessed with Berlin, and Nat, a recovering alcoholic who has visions of the Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel. As cracks appear in their routines and their story begins to overlap with Pieter's, the play asks big questions: what is the difference between community and suffocation, can creativity be home-grown, and is it a good idea to start a brewery if you don't like beer? Presented by Pecadillo Productions, it runs for 50 minutes at the Haldane Theatre.
Why see this show?
A kooky, self-assured tragicomedy that weaves together the mundane and the historic with real confidence. Pecadillo Productions bring new writing that is strange in the best sense — original and quietly asking something.
