The Ladies of Juliana

THU 3^rd OCT | Full £5 | Conc £3 | AGE 16+

A boat, men, women, and alcohol; you can only guess what happens next.

Six convict women, exiled from their homes in a bid to colonise a new land. A journey that takes longer than expected, and weathers more than storms. Navigating life on the ship is a crueller fate than the destination, and the convicts have a choice to make. What happens when women shut their legs and open their mouths?

The Duke

THU 17^th OCT | Full £12 | Conc £8 | AGE 16+

A STORY ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

Shôn Dale-Jones returns to the ShowRoom Chichester with this solo show, made to raise money for child refugees.

“I sit at my desk waiting for an email that will tell me what I need to do to get my film script onto the screen. I turn the radio on. I listen to a report about the refugee crisis. My mother calls. She tells me she’s broken The Duke.

My mother, my film script and the refugee crisis all need my attention.”

The Duke playfully mixes fantasy and reality, taking audiences on an imaginative and touching journey which gently challenges us to consider our priorities in a world full of crisis.

Funny, poignant and playful, the one-man show weaves together the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Blending fantasy and reality, this Fringe First winning show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.

Award winning artist, Shôn Dale-Jones has toured 30 shows to over 200 UK venues, 20 countries across 6 continents and has been translated into 7 languages. Shôn is Artistic Director of Hoipolloi, who combine original storytelling with an inventive spirit. He is also the award-winning writer/performer behind his comic creation, Hugh Hughes.

Winner of Fringe First Award 2016.

You won’t find a show with a bigger, better heart.

 Concerned Others

THU 24^th OCT | Full £12 | Conc £8 | AGE 16+

Scotland has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe.

One of the highest rates per head of population in the world.
In communities across the country, families, loved ones, and clinicians support people experiencing substance dependency.

Multi-award-winners Tortoise in a Nutshell present Concerned Others, an intimate tabletop performance that shares the stories of critically underheard voices. Accounts that paint us as a nation struggling to fully recognise a culture of judgement, ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding addiction and substance-related death.

Immersive soundscapes, shoebox installations, turntables, micro-projection and 32mm figures combine to create a multi-textured piece exploring a defining crisis.
