Brotherly. Otherly. Disorderly.

Full £12 | Concessions £8 | Age 14+

Brotherly, Otherly, Disorderly is a show by two autistic siblings, an access rider in the form of a neurodivergent pop concert. It’s a joyous and celebratory theatrical toolkit for supporting themselves and each other; while navigating the barriers they face within a neurotypical world. In this narrative of care and brotherly support, watch what happens when their disabling barriers are transformed into something that is better designed for their needs 

B.O.D is a love letter to sibling care and neurodivergent solidarity, a theatrical access rider and a dream of a better world. 

“Vijay Patel is a dynamic young artist exploring the contemporary condition with humour, pathos and heart. Mark him as one to watch”

Still Floating 

Thursday 2nd March, 7.30pm

Full £12 | Conc £8 | Age 14+

When someone suggests that Shôn should remount his 2006 Total Theatre award-winning hit show FLOATING (Barbican, Sydney Opera House) about the Isle of Anglesey floating away from mainland Britain, he is sure it isn’t what the world needs right now. 

2006 is not 2022. As Shôn explains why he shouldn’t present the show we find out that sometimes going backwards helps us move forwards.

Told by two-time Fringe First winner, this is a funny, uplifting and moving story, making the real and unreal fit together in one surprising whole.

The Talent

Thursday 9th March, 7.30pm

Full £12 | Conc £8 | Age 16+ | Theatre

A woman in a sound booth is talking. She is talking to herself. She is talking to you. She is talking to everyone. She is gifted, professional, mercurial; it seems as if she can summon almost any kind of voice and create any kind of world. 

She is selling you something
She is telling you a story 
She sounds like a cereal ad 
She sounds like a cartoon 
She sounds like a meditation tape 
She sounds like a shapeshifter 
She sounds like the ocean 

You would listen to her say anything. Her voice is all around. Her voice is all there is. Her voice is all that’s left. She conjures her own ghost in real time. 
The Talent is a new show by Action Hero and Deborah Pearson about the legacy of the human voice in a non-human future. 

“Some of the most thrilling work currently being produced in the uk”
