Dateline: 16th May, 2010
Kneehigh to Take Its Home on Tour Cornwall's Kneehigh Theatre Company celebrates its 30th year in 2010, and will do so in The Asylum - a massive, specially commissioned dome tent within which the company can present shows, hold parties, exhibit work and much more. The Asylum will revolutionise the way Kneehigh operates, making it a touring company with a permanent home. While continuing to tour to, and work with, national and international partner venues, Kneehigh will now be able to reach new audiences with its own portable venue. The company will enjoy all the security and facilities of a permanent home well into the future, without the overheads and restrictions faced by a building-based company. The Dome Company has worked closely with the Kneehigh team to design a bespoke tent that affords the company complete flexibility to play to audiences of 250 to 1000, depending on the show, the set up of the space or even the environment within which the tent is placed. Standing at 45m long x 30m wide, the design concept is the only one of its size and kind in the world. Its design has been inspired by ancient building methods and is rooted in the idea of circus, troubadour, and folk traditions. Kneehigh will launch the Asylum by reviving three of its most successful shows of the last three decades: The Red Shoes, Blast! and Nick Darke’s The King of Prussia. The three shows will run in rep from 27th July to 29th August. Full; details will be announced later.
Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
