Us Puppeteers

whitebox collective

‘Us Puppeteers’ is a new play by Ella Thompson, created by Whitebox Collective. It uses dialogue, dance, and little toy soldiers to tell a disturbing tale.

The Murder of Alec Birch is being investigated in a not entirely orthodox fashion; William interviews those involved alone in his office with the aid of flirtation, manipulation, alcohol and fancy dress. All in a day’s work until an unexpected visitor with unique knowledge of the case arrives to turn it upside down…

His Spread Legs

Presented with Pink Fringe

Written & Directed by Ben Webb, Performed by Sean Hart

A young man talks about love and loss in this poetic and political bedtime story. Moving and funny in equal measure, this contemporary reworking of the ancient Song of Songs is the second part of Risking Enchantment’s The Well & Badly Loved trilogy. The trilogy explores loss and desire within the context of a rapidly changing world and can be seen at London’s Ovalhouse theatre in March 2012.

This is where we have always lived – in the waiting, the potential, between the cracks, love letters lost in a library book, messages through time. What do you remember?

Formed in 2008, Risking Enchantment is a theatre company dedicated to exploring and extending the possibilities of theatre art through collaborative effort. We want to touch people: www.riskingenchantment.com

Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England

Somnambules

Way Out West

by The Future Is Unwritten, written by Paul Hodson

Two strangers stand, alone, in a busy pub. They chat as they wait - they seem to know more about each other than strangers could, or should.

A few pints in they’ve touched on the big things in life - creation, happiness, grief, and the small things - mobile phone reception, watered down lager, crisps. And they think that they might be Laurel and Hardy reincarnated… but that’s ridiculous and beyond comprehension isn’t it?

Way Out West by Paul Hodson (Meeting Joe Strummer, Don’t Shoot The Clowns, Brighton ‘Til I Die!) is a surreal, tender and melancholic comedy starring Mike Goodenough and Damien Lyne.

“a brilliant show … an audience of big burly football fans, with tears in their eyes, leaning over the threshold at the end to shake the hands of the actors on stage ”

The Observer on Brighton 'Til I Die!

“Glowing with warmth, humour and self-deprecation… sincere and inspiring”

The Metro on Meeting Joe Strummer

The Winter’s Tale

The Barefoot Players

A jealous king with an unsettled mind. An innocent queen. A lost princess. And an unfulfilled prophecy.

William Shakespeare's late romance is a bittersweet tale of love, betrayal and reconcilation brought to life in a new production by The Barefoot Players. 'A sad tale's best for winter...'

“The Barefoot Players have energy, passion, skill, and an incredible ability in bringing to life a classic text with real conviction and believability that you feel like your there. There is not one bit of this production that has not been carefully thought about and solved with ease.”

Parade

Macellerie Pasolini

Parade unfolds without words - a mother, a father and two teenage sons interact in a domestic environment: the actors elaborate the plot of their complex family love with natural movements combined with dance around a table and on white beds.

Macellerie Pasolini is a project based in Bologna, Italy, involving artists of all nationalities, disciplines and training working around the themes of contemporary culture. Parade is a performance entirely structured around body acts and sound, and looks at how certain dynamics define humans.

“The situations of initial and welcoming warmth that suddenly turns into acid and cold transfiguration, are disorienting...”

How To Disappear Completely And Never Be Found

presented by The Academy of Creative Training

"What makes you who you are, Charlie? A name? An address? A random collection of experiences, a few memories? You are who you can prove you are. You are what people think. And that's the easiest thing in the world to change."

When a young executive reaches breaking point and decides to disappear, she pays a visit to a master of the craft in a seafront fortune teller's in Southend. Haunted by visitations from a pathologist who swears she is already lying flat out on her slab, she begins to re-live the nightmarish final hours that see her body retrieved from the Thames, stripped of everything that made her who she was. With echoes of Camus and Kafka, this extraordinary new play by Fin Kennedy, and directed by Daniel Finlay, follows one person's desperate attempts to buck the system, and asks what really makes us who we are in the 21st century.

TouchedTheatre presents ‘PUNCHED’

A night of all new, home-grown Brighton puppetry for grown ups

This is puppetry by adults, for adults, with not a squeaky glove toy in sight. The genre-busting programme encompasses object animation, dance, visual installation and cabaret, all wrapped up as brand spanking new puppetry performance.

The Passion of the Pole

A show by Tom Marshman, Produced by Clara Giraud

Clinging to a dancing pole, a sentimental character exposes itself to you, with layers of issues, a crude honesty, and a wincing humour.

In this controversial performance, Tom Marshman confronts taboos of mental disorders and religion - the pole becomes a crucifix: a site for Tom to expose and execute his anxieties.

“Unapologetically sentimental, and loveable for it”

Venue Magazine

“An incredibly charming and compelling performer who gives very evocative glimpses into everyday things”

Tanuja Amarasuriya, Creative Producer, Theatre Bristol

“One of the most exciting things about Marshman's work is his ability to pick a seemingly small subject and peel back the layers to expose something unexpectedly profound”

The Big Issue

The Art of Losing

SUDS Theatre, written by Florence Hope and directed by Jess Duxbury

A girl is swallowed by a time machine. A man loses his right arm and his sense of humour seems to vanish alongside it. A powerful magician irrevocably disappears the most important thing he has ever known.

The Art of Losing is a series of monologues, duologues and stories-told-backwards centred around the themes of loss and magic. Set in an ever-so-slightly strange world where nothing is taken for granted and anything can vanish, the new offering from SUDS Theatre explores how a series of slightly odd characters react when everything goes a little bit sideways.

Sharing of work-in-progress

with The Plasticine Men

Set in the remarkable world of Le Hameau de la Reine (The Queen’s Hamlet), L’Autruche is a story about a doomed escape from a palace to a pigsty and hiding your head in the ground during an earthquake; of being destiny’s plaything, and clutching your toys whilst careering towards a cliff edge…

Join the company in the studio at the end of their first R&D period to see some short, loose beginnings of material and ideas, and to talk with the ensemble about their discoveries and plans for the work. By 7pm at the very latest, you’ll be free to wend your way home for dinner, or carry on some chat with The Plasticine Men in the pub.

WHITE NIGHT

We Are No Heroes

Sean Tuan John

The Nightingale’s off-site celebrations for White Night

The guided performance trail starts at Jubilee Square and concludes in the perfectly serene surroundings of the Nightingale…but expect a surprise!!

Meet in at the Nightingale Meeting Point in Jubilee Square up to 15 minutes before the start of each trail

The Unbuilt Room

Seth Kriebel

This unique show - part performance and part game - returns to The Nightingale in an all-new version.

The Unbuilt Room explores how places create memories … and how memories create places. Small groups of players wander through rooms real and imagined to explore a version of The Nightingale which probably doesn't exist.

“There are but a few theatrical productions that can combine humour and entertainment with the profound, this is one of them.”

Brighton Magazine

“It is a piece of promenade theatre you undertake without lifting a finger, and gaming-inspired performance in its purest form.”

It is a story about hunger, which Toms' parents know all about as they try to lose their own children in the forest. It is also a story about playing and about being curious, which Tom does better than anybody.

‘Speaking Dance’ and ‘Counting To One Hundred’

Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion

Choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion have toured the world for the past ten years with a series of duets, acclaimed for their musical invention, insight and humour. The first in the series, Both Sitting Duet, won a 2004 New York ‘Bessie’ Award, and Cheap Lecture was given a Belgian Het Theaterfestival award in 2009. During the Brighton Festival this year they presented Cheap Lecture and The Cow Piece at The Basement. They return to Brighton now to share two more of their performances at The Nightingale, Speaking Dance (2006) and their most recent duet Counting To One Hundred (2011).

Burrows and Fargion describe what they do as 'handmade and human-scale'. It is built from simple, non-spectacular elements, but arrives often at a deceptive scale and virtuosity which radiates delight even as it makes the audience think.

Speaking Dance was co-produced by Dance Umbrella London and supported by Arts Council England and the Jonathan Burrows Group. With thanks also to Dance 4 Nottingham.

Counting To One Hundred is supported by Arts Council England, Kaaitheater Brussels and Sadler’s Wells Theatre London.

A Choreographer's Handbook by Jonathan Burrows is published by Routledge and available from Amazon.com.

“Absurdist self-indulgence you'll be thinking, but what you see is revelation and joy.”

The Evening Standard

“There are few performers who can hold an audience captive like this double act… the timing of every note, shrug, laugh and gesture is awesome. Five stars.”

DANCE DANCE: A double bill

Dan Canham & Augusto Corrieri

The first in a series of inimitable double bills authoring the future of dance, as written by some of the country's boldest and most boundary-pushing artists.

Augusto Correiri's Musical Pieces revolves around the theatre's mechanism of concealment and revelation, the on and the off, the visible and the invisible. At the Nightingale, Augusto will present two short performances accompanied by a commentary on their making. The result is a slowly unfolding performance that invites spectators to unlink what they see from what they hear, in a gentle activity of intense looking and listening.

Dan Canham's 30 Cecil Street is a dance theatre work that is an eloquent and heartbreaking elegy for a lost theatre. A performance of fragments and memories of wild nights and long-disappeared communities. It evokes the life of a once mighty building and asks what is left when a theatre closes its doors to the public.

“Dan Canham raises ghosts in spine tingling dance-theatre piece, 30 Cecil Street… exquisitely crafted, thoughtful theatre.”

The Guardian

“(30 Cecil Street) Heartbreaking quiet and delicate. A beautiful little show.”

Whitebox Collective - Us Puppeteers (work in progress)

The murder of Alec Birch is being investigated in a not entirely orthodox fashion; William interviews those involved alone in his office with the aid of flirtation, manipulation, alcohol and fancy dress. The line up consists of Alec’s teetering but immaculate widow, his painfully closeted speech therapist, a young woman who is unable to speak, and her professional carer with whom she has such a deep understanding that it may be the only route to obtaining the truth. That is until the dead Alec Birch arrives to give his testimony and throws William into a whirl of events much darker and closer to home than he is ready for…'

Welcome to this jumble of extracts from Us Puppeteers, a Whitebox Collective Production. The extracts you will see form part of a work in progress.

A rebellious dancer, a surreal performance artist, a living legend of queer theatre and an intellectual bearded drag queen are playfully provocative about what Pride means in 2011 in their own parade through the streets.

Tomboy Blues - The Theory of Disappointment

Rachel Mars and nat tarrab

A sell-out in Plymouth and London, this funny, powerful and disarmingly honest theatre show is a joyful mosaic of stories of otherness.

Acclaimed live artists and performance makers Rachel Mars and nat tarrab go on a quest from glass blowing warehouses to supermarket aisles, from a female bootcamp to the scripts of ‘When Harry Met Sally’ to see where love can exist when you can’t even find yourself. Is hope worthwhile? Is life ultimately disappointing? Come and learn the brace position against the inevitable by-products of human existence. Sharp new writing, unreliable science and no-nonsense chat.

Lullabies of Broadmoor

A Broadmoor Quartet

The four linked plays of Steve Hennessy's Lullabies of Broadmoor – A Broadmoor Quartet weave together the closely linked stories of five of Broadmoor's most notorious inmates of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century with the stories of those they murdered. The sequence of plays form a rich, dark, Gothic tragicomedy about murder, love, madness, personal responsibility and redemption.

The quartet is bound together by John Coleman, Principal Attendant on the Gentlemen's Block at Broadmoor. The four plays use the same cast, and some characters appear in more than one play. Following the acclaimed London premiere at the Finborough Theatre of the first two plays in the quartet in 2004, now all four plays can be seen together for the first time ever.

Play 1 (July 25th, 7pm) VENUS AT BROADMOOR

1870. The madness of love. A string of random poisonings around Brighton result in the admission of Christiana Edmunds to Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. The penny dreadfuls call her the Chocolate Cream Poisoner, but she prefers to be called Venus. Dr. Orange is struggling to understand why. Principal Attendant Coleman is struggling to stay off the drink. The Broadmoor Annual Ball is approaching. Christiana just wants to dance. Based on the true story of Broadmoor's most notorious female patient.

Play 2 ( July 25th, 8.30pm) THE DEMON BOX

1872. Inside Broadmoor. Inside the black box of the theatre. Inside the head of Richard Dadd. On a trip to Egypt, the great Victorian artist Richard Dadd believed that he had been contacted by the god Osiris. Upon his return, at the god's bidding, he murdered his father. He spent the rest of his life in Bethlem and Broadmoor. While there he spent nine years working on his eerie masterpiece 'The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke'. In 1872 he was given the job of renovating the theatre at Broadmoor ...

Play 3 (July 26th, 7pm) THE MURDER CLUB

1922. Murder is in the air. The British Government is engaged in a genocidal war in Iraq using poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction and two notorious murderers are meeting in Broadmoor for the first time. Small time conman Ronald True murdered the prostitute Olive Young. Embittered out of work actor Richard Prince murdered matinee idol William Terriss at the stage door of the Adelphi Theatre. Now the two men have been put in charge of an evening of entertainment at Broadmoor. The Murder Club was commissioned by the Finborough Theatre to tell the infamous history of a murder committed on the Finborough Road itself, just down the road from the theatre.

Play 4 (July 26th, 8.30pm) WILDERNESS

A journey from the battlefields of the American Civil War to the cells of nineteenth century Broadmoor by way of one of the most famous murders in Victorian Lambeth. This is the story of William Chester Minor, one time surgeon in the American Union Army and a major contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary.

“Powerfully performed ... the dramas are like distorted images of each other. The result is a piquant mix of witty Gothic ghoulishness and serious moral questioning ... absorbing and atmospheric.”

The Independent

“This macabre, grisly, but often funny double bill grabs the audience by the dramatic throat and hardly lets go ... the psychological carnage is left behind long after the blood has been hosed away.”

The Stage

“Steve Hennessy's entertaining script reveals a macabre surrealism tempered by shrewd psychology and historical research. Drawing on real cases, Hennessy weaves an ornate tapestry of emotional manipulation ... Such is the fertility of Hennessy's mind that his shadowy gothic world compels you to keep watching.”

ACT Foundation in Acting

Alarms and Excursions by Michael Frayn

Michael Frayn's (Donkeys Years, Noises Off) Alarms & Excursions is a set of eight plays including 24 characters, one dinner party and an unusual flight announcement.

Four friends sit down for a quiet evening together which is ruined by bells, buzzers and a high tech corkscrew; a politician is lost for words when the autocue goes off script; an inflight announcement ends with more than a seatbelt coming undone. Frayn's tales of technological terror examine what happens when the modern world goes wrong and proves that new technology designed to make our lives easier often just provides new forms of torment.

Testing Grounds

Emma Bennett / Mamoru Iriguchi / Marcel Sparmann / Ladies of the Press

From Copernicus to Galileo; from the electron-microscope and the x-ray; from cinema to home-television and the internet - the discovery of new looking-devices and their implications in popular consciousness have been instrumental in drastic paradigm shifts across human history. They continue to transform the way we think about ourselves, our relationships to each other, to nature, the world, the universe… at every level and scale - rendering the world in evermore fascinating and mysterious detail, whilst concealing reality beneath layer upon layer of images.

Discovering new ways to see and imagine can permit us to zoom-in to the minutia of everyday life and peer beneath the surface of our commonly held assumptions – and to zoom-out, feel from a much bigger cultural frame and learn from what was previously overlooked or beyond our habitual field of view. In this way revealed forms become attitudes, bridging the gap between the unnoticeable and the obvious, and the hidden struggles between defiance and resignation.

The three new artist’s works commissioned for this edition of Testing Grounds share the quality of constructing a looking device - literally and metaphorically. So how does one achieve this kind of metonymic lens from the ephemeral time-based gestures inherent to live art and performance art?

Bound

Bear Trap

Six actors, five chairs, one table and an ocean…

Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy, fishing trawler 'The Violet' and its mismatched crew are forced out into treacherous weather. Battling each others egos, their 'lives' ashore and a relentless storm. Will they lose more than a way of life? Set in Brixham, Devon, Bound is the bracingly physical tragic comedy from Bear Trap Theatre Company. After a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Festival 2010 and headlining the Holden Street Theatres at the Adelaide Fringe 2011, Bear Trap takes the critically acclaimed Bound on a National Tour of the UK.

Awards include: Fringe First, Herald Angel, Herald Little Devil, the NSDF and Methuen Drama Emerging Artists Competition, the Holden Street Theatres Award, the Adelaide Advertiser Critics Choice Award and Best Theatre Performer (ensemble).

Hangover Square extract narrated by Ashley Cook

Presented by Cinecity for HOUSE Festival

Patrick Hamilton’s masterpiece, subtitled ‘A story of darkest Earl’s Court’ features a memorable, pivotal section set in Brighton. First published in 1941, the darkly comic novel is set in 1939 in the countdown to the outbreak of the Second World War.

This audio installation in a former hotel room transports the visitor to the time and place depicted in Hamilton’s bleak hymn to obsessive desire. Lonely drifter George Harvey Bone is hopelessly infatuated with Netta Longdon though she has no shred of compassion or kindness: ‘She was completely, indeed sinisterly, devoid of all those qualities which her face and body externally proclaimed her to have - pensiveness, grace, warmth, agility, beauty.’ Bone has persuaded Netta to meet him in Brighton for a romantic getaway but he realises at their rendezvous at the station she had not had the same plan...
