    Antarctica

    THU 10 MAR | Full £10 Conc £6 | 7.30pm  | AGE 16 plus

    Antarctica is the most inhospitable climate in the world. It’s the driest, windiest place on Earth, synonymous with failed expedition attempts, with no artists for miles around. A place that Chris Dobrowolski decided was perfect for him.

    For three and a half months Chris lived and worked alongside the medical professionals, researchers and crew members at the British Antarctic Survey, trying to experiment creatively whilst (crucially) trying to survive. He discovered that sometimes it’s very difficult to justify your position as an Artist whilst everyone around you is a Hero.

    Antarctica is an adventure story-presentation about professional failure and navigating real life via tales of overzealous seals, Ladybird books and a sledge built out of gold picture frames.

    “He takes us from the personal to the political, across a great swathe of 20th Century history, all without leaving the driving seat of the Triumph Herald”

    Tonight I’m Going To Be The New Me

    Tonight I’m Going To Be The New Me

    THU 14 APR | Full £10 Conc £6 | 7.30pm | AGE 16 plus

    A woman takes to the stage. A man watches from the wings. They both wonder if their love will survive what’s about to happen.

    Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me is an arresting physical endurance act that crashes headfirst into an impossibly true love story – and out the other side. It exposes how we perform our relationships amidst a reality that just won’t live up to what the movies promised.

    Disarmingly honest and comically imagined, Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me pierces the bloody heart of our obsession with outlasting hardship. Intimate and startlingly immediate, it defies you to watch, in spite of yourself.

    Slippery and teasing, murderously entertaining

    Tantalisingly edgy…a stinging piece of entertainment”
