The Cholmondeleys and the Featherstonehaughs led by Artistic Director Lea Anderson, are currently celebrating their 25th anniversary and have just completed a hugely successful UK tour of their hilariously ghoulish musical production, DANCING ON YOUR GRAVE, which ran for 3 weeks at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, for two weeks at London's Riverside Studios this year, at the Singapore Festival in May and across the UK.
"The tiny stage is superbly lit by Simon Corder whose effects veer confidently from cabaret to crypt, creating a succession of painterly images that chime happily with Anderson's long-standing obsession with German expressionism..." (Sunday Telegraph)
"The dance routines are stylised and carried by the thythm and the pungency of the music. There is a defiance in these characters' no-hope; an ironic, even scathing tone in their railing against death...the feeling is of clapped-out tawdriness, but with a bite to it." (Sunday Times)
