The Brighton Festival 2001 saw our new adaptation of Graham Greene's classic story of mob violence and the tragedy of young love lost amongst the background of 1930's Brighton.

Taking many influences from both the book and the famous Boulting brothers film, our adaptation concentrated on the darker, sinister, thriller elements of the story.

A multi-media piece , we used back-projections and early film footage of Brighton to re-create the essence of the underworld of the town, coupled together with film/video footage of other familiar Brighton locations such as the Pier, the seafront and the racecourse.

"The End is Nigh for Kolley Kibber"

A large scale production, this was an adventurous project for Hanover Productions for which we drew on all our resources of talent in all areas within Brighton - artistically, creatively, technically and financially.
