Working with Alfie himself, and young people in Bridgend, Robin Soans joins forces with some of the UK's most exciting theatre companies to tell a great story about sport, politics, secrets, life and learning to be yourself.

Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage Reviews

'Max Stafford-Clark and Out of Joint's previous ventures with writer Robin Soans have produced thought-provoking and passionate blasts of political theatre' - Whatsonstage.com; 'While at times dark and difficult, ultimately the play is a joyful, hopeful experience... Crouch Touch Pause Engage is a grudge match between denial and acceptance, between the individual and the community, in which, in the end, to try is to triumph.' - Time Out London; 'It boasts robust performances and speaks with potent immediacy about isolation, deception, candour and compassion.' Evening Standard; It's a modest kind of heroism that's depicted in Robin Soans's latest documentary - drama and somehow all the more glorious for that. The Times *****;
