1996: Let The Donkey Go
The company's debut was an Edinburgh hit, where they defined their style with an unlikely yarn about inept secret policeman apprehending a suspect for being, well, a suspect. Since then, the show has toured 18 countries.
2002: Rhinoceros
This is where Peepolykus showed off their absurdist roots to the fore with a look at Eugene Ionesco's classic play set in a small French town whose inhabitants are struck down with Rhinoceritus. It was also the first time the company used text in their work.
2007: The Hound of The Baskervilles
The first Peepolykus reinvention of Arthur Conan Doyle's back catalogue was also the first time they worked with Traverse director Orla O'Loughlin. The production sold out West Yorkshire Playhouse before transferring to the West End.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
