Exceedingly big-hearted drama teacher Marty is setting up a short course in creative theatre at the local community centre. Try as she might, she only manages to find four students: a divorced carpenter, an almost famous actress, a high school girl who seems to struggle to communicate, and Marty’s own husband, each bringing a unique life story into the classroom. As the games in drama classes move closer to reality, those taking part also begin to understand and open up to each other. Has the stage been turned into reality, or is real life becoming a drama?

Premiéred in New York in 2009, Circle Mirror Transformation won the 2010 Obie Award for Best New Play, and was praised by The New York Times as “absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny”.
