Written and Directed by David Byrne

Composition by Jan Overfield

Lighting by Chloe Kenward

PIT Theatre Company performed A Stroke of Genius at Cambridge Junction and at Pleasance in Islington and Edinburgh. The Show received rave 4 and 5 star reviews. Including this, from Richard Stamp for Fringe Guru: 

“visually striking… far from just a gimmick, light of all kinds is an important theme: towards the end it adopts an almost physical quality, as the sinister baddie Mr Product menaces the cowering Ali… It’s easy to overlook, but what enables all these visually arresting moments is the utterly flawless movement and timing. Every character and prop is positioned in exactly the right beam of light. Innovative, thought provoking and full of low-key humour, A Stroke Of Genius is what the Fringe is all about. I'll remember it for its tricks of the light and, even more, for its perfect execution on stage.”
