University of Oxford Student Season: Hilary Term 2026

By Killian King

Gordon suffers from panic attacks and is obsessed with Berlin. Nat is a recovering alcoholic who has visions of the Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel.

And Pieter, the great observer of wit and folly, has something he needs to tell us.

As cracks appear in Nat and Gordon's routines and their story begins to overlap with Pieter's, this thought-provoking new tragicomedy grapples with the big questions: what is the difference between community and suffocation? Can creativity be home-grown? And is it a good idea to start a brewery if you don't like beer?
