Mad Alice Theatre Company presents Rose and Robin, a story of love and loss for old and young, in October and November, and then again in February,
From childhood to old age, Rose and Robin have had a wonderful life together. From sports to stargazing, they’ve enjoyed so much, and most of all, they loved to dance.
They’ve had their bumps in the road, of course, and now Robin can’t remember where they keep the clothes pegs. But, at the end of the day, that's fine!
Playful and serious, sad and happy, this is a show that celebrates life in all its richness; a story of love and loss, for old and young. Especially if you are over seven and have ever lost a sock. Or someone you love.
Commissioned by Queen's Hall Arts Centre in Hexham, Rose and Robin is devised and performed by Pete Baynes and Shelley O’Brien with Paul Harman. Geof Keys, former director the Queen's Hall, directs and design is by Donald Marshall. The composer is Patrick Dineen, the choreographer is Nadia Iftkhar, Artistic Director of Company of Others, and the Movement Director is Peta Lily.
Age recommendation is 7+.
