The Kosh make a rare London appearance

Posted on February 24, 2011

Award-winning physical theatre troupe The Kosh will perform at London’s Drill Hall on February 26–27. Siân Williams performs The Storeroom, a tale of injustice, murder and cabaret.

Williams, who wrote and directed the dance play with Michael Merwitzer, performs both a tragic showgirl and a dastardly playboy in a dreamlike melodrama, mixing elements of vaudeville, film noir, magic, illusion and music. These performances conclude a national tour of village halls and venues sited off the beaten track, which have been the focus of Kosh performances for the past ten years.
