The wicked Queens unruly mirror, being chased by flaming torches and sharing the stage with the wild man of Billingham (aka our wonderful Idiot Stephen Harper). All of this and more is discussed in this month’s episode of Regrets I’ve Had A Few, featuring Mercè Ribot and Patrícia Rodriguez of award winning theatre company, Little Soldier.

About Little Soldier

Little Soldier Productions is a London-based theatre company founded in 2010 by Patricia Rodríguez and Mercè Ribot. From the beginning, we wanted to create a platform to explore how clowning and physical comedy could be used to subvert traditional modes of making theatre.

Since then, our work has been presented at leading theatres in the UK, US, Mexico, Poland and Spain. We have been supported by HOME Manchester, Battersea Arts Centre, Jackson’s Lane and Ovalhouse in London, and Arts Council England. In everything we make, we try not to let go of the joy and recklessness we believe are essential to comedy. At the same time, we use those same tools to provoke questions—sometimes uncomfortable ones—for ourselves and our audiences, about theatre and about life.

We’re drawn to exploring ideas around authorship, genius, success, and canon. Our shows are made through a collaborative process with other professionals - including acclaimed directors, writers and dramaturgs Kirsty Housley, Ursula Martinez, Adam Brace and Aitor Basauri - whose knowledge and experience feed directly into the work. Research and documentation are at the core of each project, which we test on stage before sharing it publicly. Each production is imagined as a space for thinking and for play.
