Dolly
By Andy Barrett
Director Daniel Buckroyd
World Premiere
When Dolly the sheep burst onto the world stage in 1996, the first
ever mammal cloned from an adult cell (and named after Dolly Parton
in honour of the mammary gland from which that cell was taken), she
became, quite simply, an overnight sensation. Now, award-winning Nottingham-based
writer Andy Barrett has created the unlikely but highly entertaining
combination of cloning and country and western music. This meeting
of Dolly Parton tribute and human drama playfully explores the science
and morality of cloning, and asks what really make us who we are.

Hot Stuff
Devised by Maggie Norris and Paul Kerryson and director Paul Kerryson
An outrageous ride through the best and worst of the 70s and 80s,

to Bolan come together in an explosion of disco and soul.
