Description
The plays that make up Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat began life at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe as Ravenhill for Breakfast (produced
by Paines Plough), winning a Fringe First award, and the Jack Tinker
Spirit of the Fringe award. They form a collage of very different
scenes, with each taking its title from a classic work. The plays were
presented in April 2008 in various venues across London, from Notting
Hill to a Victorian warehouse in Shoreditch, via Sloane Square and the
South Bank.

About the contributors
Reviews
-
'This continually inventive playwright is unleashing a volley of friendly theatrical fire on a host of London venues, with an "epic cycle of short plays" examining the effects of war on modern life.'
Evening Standard - Fiona Mountford
-
'The Odyssey...touches deftly on the impact of war on everyone involved and this sharp, smartly delivered production (directed by Ravenhill and Tom Cairns) whets the appetite for the rest of the collage to come.'
Financial Times - Sarah Hemming
-
'...there are also extraordinary pieces, which start with satire or absurdity and sidle into the sinister or horrific.'
Observer - Susannah Clapp
-
'When we think of epic drama, we tend to think of one mammoth event. The playwright Mark Ravenhill has come up with a different spin: a dramatic cycle that is, in its way, epic, but is splintered into many small shards.'
Financial Times - Sarah Hemming
