About this show
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 ‘kooky, self-assured tragicomedy with instant cult classic potential’ (Cherwell) asks 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?

Brew Hill was extremely funny, despite the topics seeming harsh and hard hitting. What it was trying to tell us — I’m not quite sure. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this fifty minute dark comedy.
— The Student (3 out of 5 stars)
In Brew Hill, Nat (Trixie Smith) and Gordon (Jem Hunter) are stuck. They’re stuck in their messy flat, with moving boxes still left from who knows how long ago, and they’re stuck with each other. Brew Hill easily…
