a mask play about the effects of the economic crash on one household (2012)
'Pigeon is a play with masks, without words, but with a clear, satirical narrative for the times we live in…..The action is restlessly committed to a perpetual, mesmerising rhythm, played out in a compulsive nervy frenzy…a piece that is both riveting and unnerving.'
