"The fascinating and highly entertaining works performed proved the immense diversity and creativity of music coming out of the Baroque period." ROB KENNEDY reviews Salut! Baroque.
SUDS latest production is an original work that challenges the common perceptions of historical figures.

For a play about walking into a bar, it’s unsurprising that this piece of original theatre clung to my mind like a sticky pub carpet.
Alan Turing, Joan of Arc, and Vincent Van Gogh Walk into a Bar is a charming two act piece of devised theatre, written and directed by the inimitable Paris and produced by Davina Oh. What often felt like a Doctor Who Christmas special blossomed into a heartfelt and scathing examination of modern historiography and our mental constructions of historical characters. While it focuses heavily on modern interpretations of Alan Turing, Joan of Arc, and Vincent Van Gogh, these interpretations are explored through the protagonist Rockie: a 12-year-old who’s been displaced into an alternate dimension comprised of a single bar and its three patrons (guess who).
