SPIRIT by Improbable Theatre

"The most impressive accomplishment of "Spirit" is its ability to blend so fluidly what's funny and what's unspeakably serious...   Anyone who has yet to grasp that theatre can go places no other art form can need only experience this transporting 90 minutes, in which flesh is truly made spirit.
Ben Brantley, New York Times

Directed by Julian Crouch and Arlene Audergon Devised by Phelim McDermott, Lee Simpson, Guy Dartnell, Julian Crouch and Arlene Audergon
