Dennis of Penge by Annie Siddons

Touching on themes of addiction, survival, poverty, joy and ecstasy in the city, and a homage to her childhood ends of SE20, Dennis of Penge, loosely based on Euripides The Bacchae, combines Annie Siddons raw poetry with music and performance to create an urgent, vital and uplifting new show.

“This marvellously inventive show… Annie Siddons’ script is almost
Shakespearean in its mix of the earthy and ethereal, the funny and
the frightening” 



-- Robert Hewison * Sunday Times *

“Untamed, brilliant writing…grotesquely beautiful, tragic and
upliftingA one woman roller-coaster ride” 

* Fest *

“Frank, funny and compassionate” 

* The Stage *

“Witty and profound” 

* Evening Standard *

“A rich, wild and precise poetry that breathes a colossal
and sometimes angry humanity… Magical and strange…”

-- Joyce McMillan * The Scotsman *
