Brighton Fringe 2020 Brochure by Brighton Fringe

#DiveIntoBrightonFringe CONTENTS

Welcome! England’s largest arts festival is open. Anyone can put on a show or event and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the party. One third of the programme is by local artists but it also features work from all over the UK and across the world. In fact this year we are pleased to play host to 155 international events from 32 countries (and 14 from within the EU), including 49 international collaborations. Being open-access is at the heart of everything we do, both on stage and behind-the-scenes. Our Freedom Season is a key part of this ethos, with 100 events available to a range of audiences with specific access needs, including those with visible and invisible disabilities. It also showcases and supports the work of disabled, D/deaf and neuro-diverse participants. I am excited to welcome artist Alison Lapper, MBE as our Freedom Season Ambassador, to help us smash through the glass wall and ensure that the arts are truly an inclusive medium for everyone. In these changing and divided times, the arts offer a space to both express and immerse ourselves: to entertain, challenge, unite and, above all, inspire. Brighton Fringe invites you to do all of this for one glorious month. So dive in but beware: the waters are deep, they can be choppy, but they are always exciting and never, ever dull. It just remains for me to thank everyone who makes it all happen. The Brighton Fringe team, board, volunteers, venues, participants and above all, you, the audience. You’ve made an amazing thing and I can’t wait to dive in myself.

FEATURED EVENTS The Canary and the Crow Photo: The Other Richard

BRIGHTON FRINGE AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE at Edinburgh Fringe

Each year, Brighton Fringe presents an ‘Award for Excellence’ at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 2019 winner was ‘The Canary and the Crow’ by Middle Child. This semi-autobiographical show from writer and performer Daniel Ward, with original live music by Prez 96 and James Frewer, tells a story of the struggle between a new environment that doesn’t accept you and an old one that has no opportunity.

‘ “We’re really stoked to bring ‘The Canary and the Crow’ to the Rotunda Theatre in Brighton and have been looking forward to this trip since winning the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence at Edinburgh last year. This show was made to be a party in the round, soundtracked by some summer bangers, and we can’t wait to have some great nights out with festival audiences by the sea.”

This year there are thousands of performances and events on offer at Brighton Fringe. If you’re stuck for where to begin, our award and bursary winning events are a good place to start. In addition to our wealth of local talent, we are excited to be bringing to you, for the fourth year, a diverse selection of events from our Dutch Season, including site-specific filmmaking and performances from experimental duo K&A, stories about race told by Dutch Poet Laureate, Onias Landveld, and a choir-led musical landscape by Timo Tembuyser. We also have performances from further afield including winner of the Sydney Fringe Touring Award in association with Brighton Fringe, ‘Party Snake’, by U Mad? Productions (see page 119), who come all the way from Victoria, Australia. This one-person show about the life of a drag queen, written by critically acclaimed NYC-playwright Kotryna Gesait, unpicks what it means to defy the gender binary. This year’s programme truly pushes the boundaries of creativity and entertainment. Look out for the badges below throughout our brochure:

BURSARY Rebel Boob Photo: Angela El Zeind

“‘Rebel Boob’ is a performance about breast cancer, except it’s not really about breast cancer. Using interviews with women as a starting point, ‘Rebel Boob’ is a powerful performance which focuses on the recovery period following active treatment, when you are picking up the pieces of your life and trying to fit them into your new ‘normal’. Receiving this bursary is very encouraging and it feels great to have this project supported, as it is such a familiar subject yet still not talked about in a positive way. This bursary has made it possible for ‘Rebel Boob’ to reach out to more people.” Rebel Boob by Speak Up! Act Out! 21, 16 May 18:00 The Warren: The Hat

“For me, playing at Brighton Fringe is all about connecting and bonding. It is reaching out to people through storytelling. Being able to share ‘Roots and Cassava’ and the importance of this story, is immense for me. Because not a lot of people are aware of the subjects I address in this show. Even though it affects most of us, regardless of race and colour. I am very grateful to perform at Brighton Fringe.” Roots and Cassava by Onias Landveld 21-23 May, 19:00 The Spire WATCHING, Ceci n’est pas de Deux & Finding Grace (Work in Progress): A Double Bill by Ester Natzijl Projects | p. 42 28-30 May 20:30 The Spire | £10 [£8.50]

UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON FREEDOM SEASON BURSARY Our new Freedom Season bursary, supported by University of Brighton, provides financial support, a rehearsal space and a venue for a company comprising of at least 25% D/deaf, disabled or neuro-diverse participants. The inaugural recipient is ‘Till We Win’ by Extraordinary Bodies Young Artists (p. 125). It is a devised performance about growing up different in a small town. The story follows a group of young people who are always left on the outside and their revolution to be on the inside. Combining theatre, acrobatics and dancing with live music, this is the story of the people who are all too often seen but unheard.

LIVE MUSIC

Rustâg (Best of Amsterdam Fringe 2019) performs a playful anarchist theatre experiment about the impossible quest to take it easy. 'Amsterdam Pancake Society' is an awardwinning show, infamous for breaking theatre conventions, built around a noisy singer-songwriter, a slightly too slick guitar virtuoso, and a poetic kitchen queen. Rustâg combines foolish freedom with poetry and songs.

London's tallest cabaret star is back! More songs, more stories and still more energy than Lee Evans on crack. "A winner whatever he's doing" (Evening Standard), "A one-off, daring to go further than you ever imagined a performer would" (Musical Theatre Review), "He of the magnificent voice" (The Stage).

Wake Up Circus' first show, 'Broken' is a commentary, questioning to what lengths a performer would be willing to go to in order to entertain an audience. Go on a journey with the performer; beginning with the obvious, moving on to the more obscure, then a few diversions through comedy, with a finale that might just shock you! The show contains juggling, object manipulation and humour.

Casting off stereotypes, these dynamic Australian women tumble, talk, fly and balance precariously. A disarming, hilarious show about living on the edge and talking about it; and how it's easier done than said. Circus that makes you laugh and cry simultaneously!

Six students will be creating music using soundbeams; contact free sensors that translate movement into sound. The students essentially move their bodies to break the beams of sound, or press a switch, to produce unique musical sounds. In school, the students have created a prerecorded musical backdrop to which they will add their own live sounds over the top during the show.

ADAPTATION

STORYTELLING

6-10

David Benedictus thought it a shame that Milne had limited himself to just 20 stories concerning the goings on in the forest, and so he set about writing some more. It was not a straightforward task but nothing like as tricky as persuading the Milne Estate to give the project their goahead. After eight years the trustees agreed. Come along and judge for yourselves whether they should have done.

All around the world Roald Dahl's words are disappearing! Now only a secret organisation known as The Ancient Guild of Taletenders can save the stories and they need your help... Especially made for ages six and up, the show is an immersive and interactive performance, involving games and imaginative play, while exploring Roald Dahl's extraordinary stories!

A journey of a story in dreams. The tale is adapted from the Buddhist Jataka tales, which were discovered as cave paintings in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, China. It shows a balance between love and being loved, and beneath that it is a warning about returning to our true love by rejecting obsession, greed and desire.

The issue of generational curse/benefit has been raised by arguments of land and its ownership. This has led us (the multi-raced/multi-generational) to question how we relate to one another without the baggage that comes with our names, our DNA and how we imagine our future. 'Encryption' questions the complexities of human nature and identity through exploring these past life experiences.

Award-winning aerial performers Shasha and Taylor bring their striking show to Brighton Fringe. Part of The Stage's Top 50 shows of 2019, an unmissable story of a mother and daughter's battle for empowerment, sexuality and freedom. "A visually captivating masterpiece" wwwww (Everything Theatre).

SKETCH SHOW

STAND-UP

A period drama sketch show with a historical feminist twist. Expect a comedy journey through time, presented through a series of sketches that tell stories of two women in challenging, compromising and downright heroic situations. Clever, witty and at times - let's be honest - historically dubious, 'Accomplished Ladies' will leave you ready to take on the present day.

Join acclaimed local comic Dave Fensome on a darkly comic journey through his life, reframed by an ADHD diagnosis at age 42. Dark, sad, optimistic and always very funny. To be honest, this was not the mid-life crisis he was expecting. Dave has a unique comic mind and, if you don't believe him, ask his doctor. See the show that sold-out at both Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe in 2019.

STAND-UP

Andrea Hubert is a stand-up comedian who would be honoured if you would join her for just under an hour of harrowingly untried and exceptionally untested ideas and jokes and asides. There's no theme yet, but she'll definitely mention she's Jewish, and probably talk at length about the magical world of the humble slug.

Ania is trying out some new material. She doesn't want to commit to any themes at the time of writing this blurb, but hopefully an overriding one will be jokes. Recommended by Comedy Central. "A finesse usually seen after decades in the game" wwwww (Diva Magazine).

SOLO SHOW

After his sell-out run last year with his debut 'ADHDave', local Comedian Dave Fensome returns to Caroline of Brunswick with his latest work 'Dog Eat Dog'. Dealing with being the wrong kind of man in this weird, competitive world we live in, he turns his uniquely dark comic mind to topics of toxic culture, class, and most importantly, forgiveness. He will also probably talk about dogs quite a bit.

Whether it's an American idiom, a village idiom or an idiom abroad, you should never argue with an idiom. It's barking up the wrong tree whilst flogging a dead horse. Instead, jump on the bandwagon and head off the beaten track to explore 'An Idiom's Guide to the Galaxy'.

Faye Treacy (Scala Radio, BBC Radio 4, BBC Three) feels like an imposter, in particular as a presenter on a serious classical music channel. Thrown into the deep end, she's put in charge of an important broadcast; will she rise to the challenge or receive more Ofcom complaints than that old white dude on that other channel? wwww (ShortCom).

Vanessa Hammick explores the lure of magic and tradition. Fiona Sagar, Funny Women Best Show Nominee. "Naturally funny" (Bryony Kimmings), "Brilliant. I loved the ad lib. Still makes me laugh. Very memorable." (Zara Janjua - STV), "Vanessa is a truly original comedy mind and probably the most charming performer at the Fringe" (Sara Pascoe).

My last two shows have been "critically-acclaimed-sell-outsmash-hits"*. Historically the third one is never as good as the first two but I'll endeavour to make sure it's better than 'Terminator 3'... Basically I'll aim for 'Rocky III' - slightly overcooked, but plenty to enjoy for fans of the original. (*See Google).

Starting over after a failed transatlantic move for love, Maria finds herself with two trash bags of stuff, a £10k credit card bill and an 83-year-old who never quite remembers who she is. This is the hilarious story of Maria's attempt to be her own hero, as she makes the UK her home.

Is it a comedy show? Is it a stag do? Is it therapy? Martin is getting married and needs all three. After all, it only took him fifteen years to realise he wanted his best friend as his wife. She was just like a sister to him. Well, they are from Norfolk. Stay for the stag night traditions. May include shots, forfeits and being tied to a lamp post. Hopefully we'll all remember where we were the morning after.

Who will they be tonight? Join the 'Starry Starry Eyes' team for this totally improvised, totally hilarious singing talent show. It's the musical comedy show you never knew you needed: improvisers pretending to be contestants pretending to be celebrities singing pretend songs nobody's ever heard of!

In the early 90s, Australian comedian Tania Lacy was so famous she couldn't walk down the street without being mobbed. The 'enfant terrible' of Aussie TV soon became 'enfant unemployable' for being too mouthy. Fortunately for Tania, women are quite 'in' right now, so there's a good chance she'll get away with it this time.

STORYTELLING

An unseasonal romp through the gifts of a generous but impractical true love. Every gift spawns a family story: stories of film stars, flying, 2CVs, infertile amphibians and my futile attempt to produce a show clean enough for a Radio 4 audience. Part story, part stand-up, part "Why are you going on about Christmas? It's May!"

PERFORMANCE ART

How does it feel to grow up believing you're different to everyone else around you? Suitable for the whole family, these LGBT+ short films explore friendship, crushes and feeling like the odd one out.

A ritualistic celebration of the moon phases. The full moon welcomes in the festival, celebrating the power of creativity. With the waning we'll evaluate our dreams, looking at how to move forward. With the dark moon we go in and start again, then re-emerge with intentions for the waxing. Each is a stand alone ceremony or you can come to all four.

POETRY

In his next life, Pete wants to be a greenfinch. Failing that he just wants to be happy. But can he be happy? Of course he can. Join poet-clown Pete Strong as he finds joy in the little things with poems about love, life and loss, and the aching feeling that maybe nothing really matters too much except living in the moment. "Laconic, surreal, contemplative - an act well worth seeing." (Broadway Baby).

An evening of food and words with the Guerrilla Poet and special guests. Enjoy our three course set menu of delicious plant-based dishes mixed with ripe performance poetry, a festival spin on new plant-based cafe restaurant Neighbourhood's hugely successful monthly open mic poetry evenings. A fresh and tasty night out!

Scott Walker was one of popular music's most fascinating and elusive characters. A 60s pop idol with The Walker Brothers, he withdrew from it all to follow his own unique path. Singer Andy Davies and pianist Kirsty Newton bring a show for both die hard fans and newcomers alike. It's a story of adoration, self-loathing, beautiful ballads, unlistenable albums, success, failure and madness.

DEVISED

Dream job, huge fanbase, and in a committed relationship with a hunky dancing bear. Everything was going right for the bearded lady; until her secret came out... Genderbending journey and joyful antidote to a world that tells people to change. "Brilliantly understated comic with the punk spirit of the Sex Pistols" wwww (The Scotsman).

Centred around a small, independent radio station in the town of Sway, 'After The Tone' combines a kooky narrative and quirky hand-drawn animations with an all original 80s inspired synth-pop soundtrack. Formed at the University of Chichester, Hotel Elsewhere offer a unique take on contemporary theatre, full of heart and melancholy.

NEW WORK

'Anne and Tallulah' follows the lives of two sisters and their growing struggle to maintain a place in each other's lives as they grow up to be two very different people. Lighthearted and playful, but with some of the grit and gravitas of growing up, this play challenges ideas of familial obligation and explores the unique and challenging relationship that can only exist between sisters.

A woman walks into a room and is asked to tell her story. What unfurls is a narrative focused on a relationship; one of love, intimacy and ultimately loss. 'Anterograde' looks to explore and question the many ways in which we deal with loss, the experience of intertwining grief and guilt, and the importance of reflecting upon ones past rather than running from it.

One night I get high and start talking to my dad's ashes. I tell him that he shouldn't have got a Thai bride, that Mum still hates him and that I also have a drug problem. Then he replies. As a ghost? As a spirit? I'm not sure. But it's clear me and my dad have some unfinished business.

Meet the murderers, monsters, bloodthirsty bigots and preening perverts of Fright Wig's broken Britain. They're dying to meet you! You'd be insane to miss it; you'll be insane if you don't.

With talk of having kids getting serious, finding undiscovered family photographs and feeling that life is passing him by, Dan is on a mission to investigate the past, present and future. It's hardly the stuff of country songs, but it's his life and the only one he's got. As heard on BBC Radio 4.

SOLO SHOW

SCI-FI

A one-woman show written and performed by Sarah Barfoot, founder of Tanglehead Productions and Tanglehead2. In 2018 her life imploded. Her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and her father suffered a stroke. A true story of hope and shopping lists, of being caught between ageing parents and teenage narcissism and what we do to keep going when we want to give up.

When a disruption shatters the illusion of a perfect world, two women must decide whether to commit to, or break free from, a State determined to keep its civilians in line. If each moment of your life was designed to guarantee happiness, would you embrace a system that's never failed, or fight for freedom?

Scottee didn't want to be common. After a chance meeting with some posh kids, his mum teaching him to talk proper and persuading his parents to take him off free school meals, Scottee uncovers what it is to be embarrassed about where you're from, how to pretend to be posher than you are and explores why we all get a thrill playing God with green tokens from Waitrose. www.attenboroughcentre.com

A mysterious delivery, a private investigator, a night club performer trapped in a hell of his own making. You think you want to know how it's done, but If I told you the secret the magic wouldn't exist anymore. Then I wouldn't exist. And if I don't exist what are you doing here? Alternative magician Anton Binder creates a dark, edgy dreamscape.

Shakespeare and His Women

Shakespeare's Mad Women (A Love Letter to Shakespearean F*ckboys)

David Benedictus [GB]

Lady Garden Theatre Company [GB]

LITERATURE

NEW WORK

In Shakespeare's sonnets we learn that his attitudes to sex were unconventional, but a playwright's words are filtered by his actors. In his early plays the women tended to be uncomplicated creatures. It may be that the arrival of a talented actor provided opportunities which Shakespeare did not overlook. But before rushing to judgement we explain how, when and why he tamed the shrew.

Juliet is about to kill herself. Lady Macbeth and Ophelia can only wait for her to arrive. Drinking moonshine together in limbo, they piece together the remnants of their pasts: why have they all been put there? Is there a way out? And why was Hamlet so obsessed with himself that he failed to notice anyone around him was more than one dimensional?

We over-populate. We spread disease. We eat a load of sh*t. We are flies. 'SWARM' is an experimental, dark comedy that explores the connection between toxic expressions of white privilege and the behaviour of flies. Using characters, stand-up and spoken word, 'SWARM' subverts the language we use to dehumanise migrants to re-tell a far more evocative reality.

For 12 years Prospero, the rightful duke of Milan, has dwelt on an island after his brother Antonio betrayed him and cast him adrift in a small boat. For 12 years he has plotted revenge on those who overthrew him... Live music and choral sea shanties bring this Shakespeare text to life.

Oscar Wilde's classic, gothic tale moves to the 1960s, where the world has changed and London is swinging. From there, Dorian's odyssey of fame, vanity, lust and corruption plays out against the changing music and fashions as the decades pass. Humour, intrigue and a touch of bloody murder.

'The Tricycle' by Fernando Arrabal is a light-hearted and strange tale of poverty and murder. In this dark fairytale, friends Climando, Apal, and Mita try to survive in an unfair and incomprehensible world, hiring a tricycle to give rides to the children in the park. But what happens when they can no longer afford to pay rent on the tricycle?
