DRAMA, DRAMA. WILL IT BE A DRAMA?
Rachael Spence and Lisa Hammond, carefully assisted by Phelim McDermott, Lee Simpson and Julian Crouch.

We said "we should do a show together" other people said "You two should do a show together"...
We said, "ok" then we said "but what show shall we do?" with no story, no characters and no ideas we took to the streets and asked people what they thought. This is what they said...........................
Maybe you could say something too. Can you help us "Build our own show?"

Peter Harrison

The first involves a man and a woman and a mountain.
The second involves a world-class dance impresario snapping his fingers and changing the world.
The third involves a different man, a different woman and a different mountain.

Three anecdotes is a new short piece delivered in a funny, relaxed, conversational style, but under the surface something else, a miracle of sorts, will preside.

Richard Kingdom

A rogue balaclava-wearing, pipe-smoking, goggle-clad Empire-era explorer creates a base camp for the imagination.

The explorer ‘discovers’ and ‘conquers’ the space in a performance that draws on the artifice of nostalgia and entertains the pitfalls of sentimentality by evoking the good old days when the globe was pink and the sun never set.

PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME
Rhiannon Armstrong

An act of faith, irrepressible hope, and blind arrogance.

With complete genuineness, in an act of hope that oscillates between tragic, unrealisable fantasy and exhilarating, infectious ambition for performance as a transformative tool, a young artist describes all the performances of her future career. Everything begins “I will” and is followed to its most desirable conclusion – world peace.

THE BREAD OF THOSE YEARS
Eva Weaver

Can bread cure heartache?
Brown, white, grey, black or mixed? Crust or no crust? What do you prefer?
Pretzels, toast or 300 types of bread?

Join this roller-coaster through the world of bread and cultural confusion.

Funny, yet challenging, ‘The Bread of Those Years’ explores issues of cross-cultural identity, stereotyping, history and belonging through bi-lingual story-telling,, sound, visuals ….and a lot of BREAD.
