"ITS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO RECOMMEND THIS SHOW AS IT STANDS AS GOOD A SHOW ABOUT BRECHT AS ONE COULD HOPE FOR"  BRITISH THEATRE REVIEW

"THOMSON IS AN ENGAGING RACONTEUR WITH A PASSION TO SHARE"  3 WEEKS

"FIFTY YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH, BRECHT REMAINS RELEVANT.  PETER THOMSON'S SHOW BRINGS HIS LIFE ALIVE, WITH WIT AND POLITICS, AND POETRY THAT STILL PACKS A PUNCH."   Dr. Tom Shakespeare

PETER HAS CREATED A FASCINATING ONE MAN SHOW.  MOSTLY ABOUT BERTOLT BRECHT, THE EXTRAORDINARY GERMAN PLAYWRIGHT, WHO IS LESS WELL KNOWN THAN HE SHOULD BE AS A GREAT POET.  JOIN PETER ON A MULTI MEDIA JOURNEY THROUGH THE LIFE OF A LITERARY GIANT, HIS OWN LIFE, AND SOME PERTINENT REFLECTIONS ON TODAY. 

"I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE COMBINATION OF NARRATIVE, RECITATION, AND AN EXCELLENT USE OF MULTI-MEDIA"

EXPLORE THE UNUSUAL CONJUNCTION OF PHILOSOPHIES WHICH INSPIRED BRECHT, REVISIT THE DARK TIMES OF THE 20TH CENTURY, WONDER ABOUT THE COURSE OF SOCIALISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY, PUZZLE HOW A SOAP STAR GOT IN THERE, AND MEET PETER'S MUM.

THIS SHOW WAS PREMIERED AT LIVE THEATRE IN NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE ON 24TH AND 25TH OCTOBER 2008. 

"WONDERFUL TO HEAR POETRY SO WELL PERFORMED"

CHANGING THE WHEEL IS SUITABLE FOR SMALL TO MEDIUM SCALE VENUES.  THE SHOW LASTS AROUND 70  MINUTES OF FASCINATING STORY, POETRY, IDEAS AND POLITICS.   IT IS PERFORMED WITH A MINIMAL SET AND A SCREEN ON WHICH INFORMATION, ARCHIVE FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHS, WORDS AND OTHER IMAGES ARE PROJECTED.
