Returning for another week!

A masterclass with the self-proclaimed Queen of the Fringe.

After 30 years working on, in, under and around the British Fringe Theatre Circuit, Gillian Beak bares all in public to share a lifetime of theatrical windfalls with whoever might care to munch on them; finally Beak Speaks.

By kind permission of Sarah Thom.

“A brilliantly written, wholly believable and very funny tragicomic creation” 

The List ⭑⭑⭑⭑

“H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.”  First Night Magazine ⭑⭑⭑⭑

“Beak Speaks is a piece of comic genius. Sarah Thom is brilliant.” 

Show Me Shows London 

“A superbly jocular parody – Sarah Thom’s acting and comic timing are excellent – a masterclass for aspiring actors in itself.” 

The Reviews Hub

“Wonderful use of a trampoline… Miles Jupp makes an amusing (virtual) appearance as an ex-lover” 

The Scotsman

“If I was 10 years younger Gillian Beak would already be my ex-wife.”

Miles Jupp

Go see the wonderful @worldofthom. She’s getting fab reviews!”

Lucy Porter

“Anyone who’s ever had anything to do with theatre has to go to see Beak Speaks. The most I’ve laughed in ages.”

Olivia Chappell

“Bonkers and beautiful. Fringe theatre bares her soul.”

Nicola Penfold

“I cannot recommend Sarah Thom’s amazing character-comedy-slash-surprisingly-poetic-drama show enough. Sarah is a staggering talent so don’t miss this rare chance to catch her in the act.”

Tom Crowley

“I haven’t laughed and shed a tear at a theatre performance in ages. Do not miss this. It’s bloody brilliant.”

Sarita Eames

“Comedy at its best.”

Rebecca Gillett

“If you need a Phd in dramaturgy, or fear you’re not getting enough orange in your life, see the amazing Beak Speaks”
