TANGLE
a co-production with The Corn Exchange, Newbury
"The excellent Unlimited Theatre.... A
show that creates a sense of wonder at the idea we are all part of each
other." The
Guardian
TANGLE was first performed in September 2006 and was the fourteenth new show that we have made together. It is now in bed.

In an underground research facility on Wimbledon Common two scientists
are on the verge of an incredible breakthrough.....
TANGLE is a sci-detective story that mixes Albert Einstein with Great Uncle Bulgaria and quantum physics with urban myth to tell the story of four people who are all looking for something - a lost brother, a missing uncle, a dead wife and an untraceable atom.
It's a bit like Doctor Who meets Moonlighting.....
"Unlimited ventures boldly into areas where pretentiousness awaits the unwary traveller (surrealism, the ethics of science, appearance and reality) and emerges totally unscathed. Instead there’s a sense of intellectual fun, mixed in with farce, philosophy and oddly compassionate observation.... In a play that is all about probabilities, the only certainty is that it is consistently entertaining, frequently thought provoking and always physically and verbally dextrous - the whole thing being carried off with a kind of casual precision."

And we teleport an orange. No really, we do. Teleport an orange.
Welcome to the show. We hope you were able to make it.
