'Thumping' by Tim Ashwell
Platform One Theatre Company
Premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 1999
Performances also at The Etcetera Theatre, London and Norwich Arts Centre
'Thumping flips between Moray's (the central character) daydreams of sexual conquest and the sad reality that he cannot even open a window to let the air in. Agoraphobia is used as a metaphor for the paranoid world in which we live, but also for exploring a society which laughs at the mentally ill. Which is exactly what you end up doing at this hilarious performance' ***** Must See
Three Weeks Magazine
'The play's intelligent self-mockery engages the audience. Its nicely controlled language constantly shifts register and is underpinned by brave performances from the cast. The script is genuinely moving with keen touches' ***
