In the darkest of times, Written with Isley Lynn the truth is a very precious commodity… Directed by Hamish MacDougall As humans we are fascinated and consumed by the stories that we tell each and Julian Spooner other. It’s how we navigate and explain the world. There is nothing more alluring to us than a satisfying narrative. Cast When Orson Welles adapted H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds in 1938 he Gina Isaac wanted to create a thrilling piece of radio drama that would ‘feel’ real. In fact, Jess Mabel Jones it felt so real that it caused a level of hysteria amongst listeners that was in part Julian Spooner down to Welles’s consummate skill as a storyteller, but that was also a feature of Matt Wells the time in which he told it. Europe was on the brink of the Second World War, Writer Isley Lynn Hitler was becoming bolder and more ferocious, the Hindenburg airship disaster Co-Directors Hamish Mac ougall, Julian Spooner had just taken place, and all of this was being transmitted into people’s living D rooms via the radio — the first piece of technology that allowed world events Movement Director Matt Wells to invade the family home. So perhaps it is no surprise that in such a febrile Set and Costume Designer Bethany Wells atmosphere Welles’s Martian invasion felt entirely plausible.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project.

  • Deborah Frances- White: Half a Can of Worms Pleasance Dome – 10 Dome, Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL
    jSo Comedy presents Deborah Frances- White: Half a Can of Worms Pleasance Dome – 10 Dome, Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL Friday 1st – Monday 25th August 2014 (except 12th), 3.45pm Comedian Deborah Frances-White was adopted when she was only ten days old. Until late 2012, she knew nothing about her birth family. Then she stumbled across some information that led her to embark on a round-the-clock treasure hunt, drawn into her past like a magnet. This is her true story. Turns out, you can’t open half a can of worms! Armed with only her birth mother’s maiden name, Deborah turned internet detective to track her down. At first Deborah said ‘I just wanted to look – I wasn't at all sure I wanted to contact anybody. I wanted to see who they were and what they looked like.’ But, her curiosity soon became a compulsion as she delved into the online worlds of Google, ancestry.com, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube. There is no doubt that this quest was a gamble - full of false leads, hilarious disappointments, hysterical revelations and, most importantly, the consequences of her discoveries. When Deborah finally made contact with her birth mother, she exposed a part of the past that had been hidden for decades. Half a Can of Worms is a raw and emotional show, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking (The Guardian). Discover Deborah’s mysterious past, inspirational present and inevitable future as her story unfolds. Deborah will also be bringing back her hit late night improv show Voices in Your Head, each weekend at the Gilded Balloon, with a host of special guests.

  • Close up by Circa
    j Close Up by Circa Underbelly George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9LD Wednesday 5th – Monday 31st August 2015 (not 12th, 18th, 25th), 8pm Press night: Saturday 8th August 2015, 8pm Photocall (during preview): Thursday 6th August 2015, 8pm How close do you want to be? Four extraordinary circus artists. Acrobatic mastery at its most extreme. Circa, the company behind five-star productions Beyond and multi award-winning Wunderkammer, challenge everything you think about circus as they wrench back the curtain to bring you the glorious, multimedia abstraction of Close Up. This exciting world premiere is the first work commissioned by Underbelly especially for Underbelly’s iconic Udderbelly purple cow. See. Hear. Feel. Everything. Nothing's off-limits in Circa’s most intimate show yet. Interactive video and powerful music set the scene for moments of raw beauty, unbearable tension and savage physical intensity. Discover why watching Circa has become my new favourite Fringe pastime (The Scotsman). Close Up? You’ve never been closer. Close Up is based around the concept of looking. The more we look at something, the closer we look and we find there is an inherent contradiction. The more we stare, the more we’re reminded that we are separate from the thing we’re staring at. Using multimedia elements, Close Up invites us to get as close as possible to study a range of exceptional circus acts with new angles and hidden textures revealed by ultra-slow motion footage and phenomenal skills. With productions that have toured 27 countries across six continents since 2006, Circa's work is a stripped back circus of the heart.
