2007
by Bertolt Brecht in a version by Frank McGuinness National Theatre Education Mobile production in collaboration with Filter UK tour 2007: Nine venues ending with the National Theatreʼs Cottesloe

Following collaborations at the National Theatre Studio, Filter teamed up with Director Sean Holmes. Feedback from younger audiences and the press suggested Filter succeeded in making one of the most exciting and accessible Brecht productions of recent years, marrying text, sound and video images in a truly innovative and integrated way.

“Rush to this production…fresh, energetic and intelligent, it acknowledges the demands of epic theatre while remaining gleefully irreverent and bracingly modern. Thrillingly theatrical…exciting and startling…heart-stopping drama in a production where the moral message emerges powerfully and, above all, playfully. Brecht for the 21st century”.

Benedict Nightingale, The Times ★★★★

‘Stunning moments…this evening combines the clarity of Sean Holmes’ storytelling with the energetic musical inventiveness of Filter’
