From writer Tom Basden, Holes is a pithy and grizzly apocalyptic comedy crash landing this summer. Stranded on a desert island following a plane crash, three sparring colleagues and a teenager are the sole survivors of the BA043 air disaster. Waiting to be rescued and armed with microwave chicken chasseurs and duty-free booze, our mismatched castaways wrestle with the realisation that they might just be all that’s left of humanity…
After our sold-out run at The Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol, we were thrilled to be invited to perform the Chinese premiere of HOLES at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival in China.
★★★★
KRIS HALLETT - LIFE AS THEATRE
"Cook has a masterful grasp of every comedic moment and wrings laughs from even the minutest of observations."
★★★★
STAGE TALK MAGAZINE
"If this is anything to go by, British theatre training is still world-class and something to be proud of."
SWORD AND FIDDLE
"The audience were in stitches - the comedic delivery was perfect. And the emotional scenes were stunning. To swing from comedy to drama is not an easy thing, but this cast delivered it."

"One of the best things I've seen this year..."
