“astounding, a triumph, subtle and slick”
The Stage
“An extraordinary evening of disorientation, intimidation and fascination.”
Broadway World
“Exhilarating, hugely ambitious”
The Guardian
“Horribly and impressively intense”
Time Out
For five years, Felix and Josh ran STYX: a performance space which housed collaborations with a large number of cultural partners and welcoming 75,000 people a year through its doors – this space was recently demolished to make way for luxury flats, but from January 2022 RIFT have taken on the Redruth Library as the base for the Redruth International Festival of Theatre.
