The Tin Horizon

Homepage

Bird & Be would like to thank everyone who helped make The Tin Horizon such a success. We are currently in research and development for a number of productions and will be bringing you more news shortly.

PRAISE FOR THE TIN HORIZON:

THE GUARDIAN (Michael Billington):

"acting of the highest calibre in a play that proves Wells has a gift for gothic futurism...a name to watch."

"a fine production by Phoebe Barran that boasts an eerie, stuffed-animal set by Anna Bliss-Scully and a host of strong performances."

"shows a wild imagination at work and displays unmistakable signs of talent"

WHATSONSTAGE: ***** (5 stars)

"One of the best nights out currently to be found on the fringe. This is cleverly written and skillfully performed, beguiling from beginning to end."

"Promising playwright Orlando Wells' latest offering The Tin Horizon combines cunning wit, profound reflections and gritty psychological aspects to provide a testing but highly entertaining evening at Battersea's Theatre503."

“We must be generous in the sharing of our bodies. How did Miss Parker put it? Don’t put all your eggs in one bastard.”

Vladimir has problems. His servant won’t listen, the ex is coming to stay, and his taxidermy shop is attracting unwanted interest from the police. Worse, there’s a distinct possibility the Messiah is coming for breakfast. Anarchic and unexpected, The Tin Horizon is a playful vision of where we might be heading and why we don't want to go there.
