WERE WE RIGHT?
Here’s a sample of some of the work to be shown.
IN THE HOOD
***********
Written and performed by Winston Carrington
Directed by B. Soloman
Drama
In the Hood is a 30-minute drama, based on a famous anti-slavery
speech by Willie Lynch in 1712. Through the use of multi-media and live
performance techniques, this powerful piece of work is a hard-hitting
exploration of history, race and equality.
Thursday 10th July
TIDE LINE
Collaborators Theatre Company
Puppetry
From the tide-line of desolate beach, emerges a strange and displaced
figure. Driven by the sounds of his memories, echoed by the cries of
a ship-wrecked double bass, this sole survivor searches for the essence
of his past……
Tide Line is a beautiful minimalist puppet ballet performed by
Deborah Maurice (puppeteer/set designer and maker) and Stu Lewthwaite
(double bassist).
Friday 11th July
ANGELS HELP ME WITH MY WASHING
The Cartesian Welles Company
Performance Theatre
Welcome to the very strange world of the Cartesian Welles Company. This
new piece of work revolves around three exceptional characters: Venezuela
Concertina who by reason of an enormous belly button has been diagnosed
as acoustic; Elizabethan Spectator whose feet have been cooked and tinned
to preserve their freshness, and last but definitely not least; Queen
Vic who is extremely vocal once her vocal cords have been collected
into a workable mass. Armed with a new sewing machine, The Cartesian
Welles Company promises a 15 minutes of stunning theatre….
Saturday 12th July
