W.C.
"Think before you go. It’s called forward planning"
Homespun philosopher and toilet-attendant Ted creates his own world of law and order within the murky walls of a subterranean public convenience away from the corrupt world outside. With the help of his devoted disciple Rob, Ted sets out on his mission to bring justice to the world. When a clown and an evangelical preacher wander into Ted’s domain they are forced to confront the ultimate consequences of their actions.
Centred around the themes of religion and justice, W.C. is a piece of theatre of great relevance today, as conflicts flare in the modern world, in the quest for territorial and religious supremacy, but above all about man’s desire to control others.

Christmas Carol
A physical theatre production set in the thirties, bringing to life an bygone era through music, dance and physical theatre.
Born African
Three faces of modern Zimbabwe, a place as human as it is magical: a white lawyer, a coloured youth, a black servant. Over The Edge was founded in November 1994 on the occasion of the Avondale Summer Arts Festival in Harare. The most unique feature of the ensemble was not just their talent and enthusiasm but also their racial make up. At a time when multiculturalism was still an insipid cosmetic social convention, Over The Edge became known for breaking social and theatrical rules.
