About this listen
Ockham's Razor was founded in 2004 by its current Artistic Directors, Alex Harvey and Charlotte Mooney, who have directed and toured many large-scale circus-based productions over the last two decades.
Their latest show, Collaborator, is an intimate two-hander that sees the company founders back on stage together for the first time in five years.
BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Charlotte about the origins of the show and how it came together, the company's approach to making work, the challenges of touring a circus show to conventional theatre venues, adapting running a theatre company around raising a family and a great deal more.
Charlotte also spoke about seeing a contemporary circus performance in Chile about the 'disappeared' during the Pinochet regime that still made her feel emotional to talk about 25 years on and that probably set a smoking, drinking literature student on track to what she does today.
Ockham's Razor's Collaborator will open at The Place in London from 29 to 31 January before touring to The Lowry in Salford from 5 to 7 February and the Corn Exchange in Newbury on 11 March 2026.
