Gordon suffers from panic attacks and is obsessed with Berlin. Nat is a recovering alcoholic who has visions of the Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel. And Pieter, the great observer of wit and folly, has something he needs to tell us. As cracks appear in Nat and Gordon's routines and their story begins to overlap with Pieter's, this ‘kooky, self-assured tragicomedy with instant cult classic potential’ (Cherwell) asks the 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?

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.
