For each of our current touring shows we have created a Sound World Information Sheet to enable D/deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audience members to understand the soundscape of each show and how it feeds into the other elements of our performances. Please read the information in advance of attending the show. Where possible we offer a BSL interpreted post show discussion in collaboration with our venue partners.

★★★★ The Times
“Together they generate a tingling energy.” Donald Hutera

★★★★ The Guardian
“A kind of restless delirium, dense with poetic effect.” Sanjoy Roy

“An extraordinary aesthetic experience” El Heraldo del Henares

★★★★★ What’s On Stage

“With this flawless production, Gecko have created a wonderful, beautiful roller coaster ride into the murky world of memory.” Moira Hunt

★★★★★ Bachtrack
“You could see this show several times and gain something new from it each time. . . . Gecko’s Missing is a fascinating, vivid piece of physical storytelling that will have a personal meaning for everyone who sees it.” Catherine Sutherland

★★★★★ The Skinny
“The choreography is bewitching.” Callum Madge

★★★★★ Broadway Baby
“The depth of human experience covered in the play was extensive: dysfunction, loneliness, love, rage, loss, pain, hope, fear, redemption – all executed with intensity and elegance. Enigmatic, unique, frightening and breathtaking, missing Missing should be avoided at all costs.” Isla VT
