BRIGHTON FESTIVAL FRINGE
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...

Naïve Dance Masterclass
Inconvenient Spoof
Drenched in ecstasy and anguish, ex-contemporary dance star, Matt Rudkin, shares his tale of artistic salvation through the exertions of riot duty training and the love of an immigrant hula-hoopist.
This stand-up and dance-about comedy combines deadpan wordplay and expert physical tomfoolery in a heartfelt homage to those heroic geeks who dance without fear, subverting the norms of cool.

The Unbuilt Room
Seth Kriebel
This unique show - part performance and part game-has been made especially for the Nightingale and updated for Brighton Fringe 2011.
Small audiences wander through rooms real and imagined to explore how we remember, and create, places.
“There are but a few theatrical productions that can combine humour and entertainment with the profound, this is one of them.”
