Here's what's happening...

New year… new show! I’m very excited to announce Faust, a brand new show with Zoe Bouras.

Incorporating Marlowe, Goethe and European folklore, it’s a gently interactive twist on the classic tale of a deal with the devil. What can we learn from the old stories about navigating our modern world and all the devils it holds?

We have two work-in-progress showings coming up…

• London - Sat 8 Feb 2025 > Theatre Deli as part of Voidspace > Scratching the Void

• London - Tues 18 Feb 2025 > The Pinter Studio, Queen Mary University of London

> Free. Contact producer@sethkriebel.com to book a space.

…and then we’ll be performing around the UK. The first bunch of shows - with more to be announced! - and all the info can be found here.

Looking a bit further ahead, I’ll be presenting a brand new edition of The Unbuilt Room at The Portico Library in Manchester on 3 & 4 April. Stay tuned for details!

My partner in crime Zoe Bouras & I were interviewed by the interactive arts organisation Voidspace for their ‘In Conversation’ series (we were very happy to present The Unbuilt Room at the 2024 Voidspace Live festival at Theatre Deli in London).
