Having commented upon how the In-Yer-Face term came to be and how the phrase changed over time, it will be mentioned at this point how this theatre scene developed its place since it was first recognized by the public. In-yer-face theatre always shocks audiences by its language and images; unsettles them by its emotional frankness and disturbs them by its questioning of moral norms.

The Victoria Palace Theatre production of Billy Elliot was reviewed as one of the best modern musicals to come out of London. All have been striking up conversations talking about the actor’s performances, the music written by Elton John is what made is a must see show.

to freely discuss topics in a comfortable environment. As you step in the theatre, you are immersed in the world of the barber shop. The actors interact with the audience. They dance with them, take photos with them, and even give them “haircuts”. The audience seated in the round allowing us to see the characters in a multi-dimensional way.
