#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.

CIRCUS

Returning with last year's hit show with the magic as stunning as the skill is hidden. "You won't see other magicians do this stuff... Because they can't! Caspar's skill is of a standard rarely seen anywhere" (Jerry Sadowitz), "Stunning sleight of hand from a master of magic" (Fringe Review).

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! Relaxed, personal and fantastically inappropriate.

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.

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!

STORYTELLING

In this hugely interactive show, a renegade inventor needs the audience to solve 60 problems in 60 minutes before his Great Robotic Triangulator on stage triangulates earth into a trillion tiny triangles. Tasks are funny, theatrical and based on real-life issues (like wizardry, space exploration or what to do if you get stuck in a lift with a cloud).

Comedian Eddie Summers has an infectious energy. A firm favourite at Camp Bestival, his surreal imagery and positive values have kids spellbound! An inclusive, oh-so-silly theatrical experience to make little ones giggle 'n' glow. "Genuinely joyful storytelling" (LondonTheatre).

'Tales from the Shed' are vibrant, interactive shows that are perfect for young children. Informal, lively and engaging, the performers and audience share the space: everyone is encouraged to make lots of noise to make the story happen.

A brand new, interactive and joyous musical that follows a tap-dancing coffee bean (yes, you heard that right, a coffee bean!) on her adventures across the world. From befriending a barista to saving the rainforests; though this bean is little, she has big dreams and dares to be different.

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.

AERIALIST

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).

Based on the 1952 Oscar-winning short film by Norman McLaren, a comic and satirical anti-war parable about two peaceful clown neighbours who embark on an escalating conflict over a beautiful flower that grows between their properties. With fences, humour and absurdity and the crossing of swords, it's looking awfully relevant right now.

CONTEMPORARY

A mixed bill of dance that is poignant, thought-provoking and aspires to change perceptions of autism brought to you by a new, fresh collective from the North West. A must-see for dance enthusiasts and autistic savants alike! Expect Batman, Catwoman and the Penguin at this event!

'To Have and to Hold' explores how one makes decisions and forms relationships based on the notion of influence. How is one affected by the presence or absence of figures in our lives? Is our understanding of the world reflective of our environment? This work is a visual nose dive into how we develop, modify and change.

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.

Andrea Hubert: Work in Progress

Ania Magliano: Absolutely No Worries If Not (Work in Progress)

Glorious Talent [GB] 18+

Hannah Layton Management [GB]

STAND-UP

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).

When an Australian-English Yoga teacher and a FrenchIranian actress air their dirty laundry you get a melting pot of healthily unhealthy comedy. In a world full of people under the influence they recount their countless sober and not so sober mistakes. Nobody's Instagram famous yet. Bad influencers.

Would you exchange sex for eternal bliss? Don't worry, everyone in the afterlife thinks that's bonkers too. And all it takes is a big character or twenty to totally upset the balance. Absurd narrative character comedy from duo Horseplay about sex, sexuality and performance. It's fast. It's gay. It's a kaleidoscope of wigs. "Hilarious, multitalented" wwww (LGBT Arts Review).

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'.

VARIETY

Emily McQuade (Finalist: Not-So-New Comedian Competition, Leicester Square Theatre 2019) has made a stand-up show about the joys and horrors of having an overactive imagination. Are the scariest monsters really the ones on the inside? (Or is it the ones inside them?) What's the best shape for a mouse? These questions and more will be answered. Possibly. 'Impish' artwork by Richard Todd.

The true story of one man's ambition to become the greatest holiday park entertainer in England. In a show filled with laughs, music and lots of heart, Adam Morrison Jones, Giggle Ents Best Comedian 2017, recalls the bumpy road towards his dream. Could he face down family opposition, self-doubt and the occasional not-so-happy camper to become a summer holiday legend?

SKETCH SHOW

Do wot? Award-winning actor and comedian Lee Brace brings his hilarious creation Ross Feratu (and friends) to Brighton Fringe for an hour of silly willy-nilly! "Utterly hilario!!!" (Dawn French), "Really strong and distinctive, the characterisation is great." (Matt Lucas), "Love him. Fantastic." (Zoe Ball), "The greatest comedy thing since clowned bread." (Jon Holmes - BBC Radio Kent).

This is about the wife who did not want to be swapped, the flasher who gets his comeuppance, the man who wants to go right up to the top, how rich women treat their husbands, the man with the non-functioning unmentionables, the second honeymoon that goes wrong, what the saucy detective fails to discover and what the bishop said to the actress.

STAND-UP

A rip-roaring improvised comedy show where teams battle it out in a high-octane, high-energy and high-stakes competition. Using madcap games and scenes in an attempt to get the loudest cheers from the audience, see who will be crowned champions.

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).

'Gerry Carroll: Wrongo' is a show for anyone who's ever been wrong. Gerry visits loads of times when he's been absolutely and utterly wrong. Including the time he put on a Christmas pantomime in May in Brighton at midday, on his own.

Fast, physical and full of interaction, you'll never look at limes the same way again. As featured on BBC's 'Wales at the Edinburgh Festival'.

An improvised burst of nostalgia for the teen dramas of years gone by. The angst! The tears! The dodgy fashion choices! These fun, interactive shows are made up on the spot and will create high-octane melodrama - the likes of which you have never seen before and will never see again.

STAND-UP

STAND-UP

Growing up in the deepest darkest parts of India and then being thrown into the west with no language, culture, personality, looks, or even a clue.

Where does a man go to get some peace? Sick of everyone's sh*t, stand-up Joe Foster found it on the roof of his flat, high above the city like a Batman that doesn't care about your problems. Joe follows up his sold-out debut with a new hour packed full of his trademark cynicism laced with killer punch lines. "Tells them with off hand wit" (Chortle).

STORYTELLING

"Leonard had always avoided chilli. In a Venn diagram of foodstuffs, he couldn't see why the circles of flavour and self-harm would ever need to intersect." A comedic tale of one man's mission to conquer his fear and win a chillieating competition - all without his family finding out. "A total delight" (Time Out).

This nonsense returns after last years' conquests in Catalunya, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, China and Russia. Award-winning comedic magic show with Vaudeville characters, puppetry and sideshow.

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.

STAND-UP

THEATRE

Three lunatics from three different backgrounds united in their love of stand-up comedy, Chanel Marshall, Alan Byrne and Mayko, bring you a snack box of stand-up from South East London, Ireland and Burma!

Heavy drinking can be a sobering experience. At least that's what Dani Cooper has found after stumbling into a 12-step programme and turning her life around. Ish. This clever combination of stand-up and drama takes the audience on a dark journey into addiction, redemption and how surprisingly funny it can all be.

STAND-UP

Comedian Chris Tavner presents his brand new work in progress stand-up show. Are you the sort of person who wants to see a world of fairness and equality, a world based on need rather than profit? Do you also love cute little kitty cats, despite their contempt for your very existence? Then this show is for you (probably)!

In his debut Brighton Fringe 2020 show, Scott will interrogate everyday experiences with a comedy twist including relationships, family and the current state of the UK. Enjoy the show. I look forward to meeting you!

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!

Something beautiful is broken. Rumour and misinformation is on the wing. In a confused and data-drenched world, how can we see the truth of anything and hold on to what's important?

Comedians telling true stories. Sheffield's 'Tales of Whatever' make their Brighton Fringe debut. Acts join hosts Mark and Lee to share tales of funny, weird, glorious or memorable incidents and encounters. As seen at Edinburgh Fringe 2019, Notts/Leics Comedy Festivals and The Bill Murray London. "Conversational, funny and inclusive" (The Guardian). www.talesofwhatever.com

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.

Comedian and silly boy Ted Hill's debut stand-up show is about every single US President, and his journey through depression via a stint in a mental hospital, told through ridiculous jokes, graphs and videos. Absolutely no prior knowledge of US history is required for this comedic juggernaut of high-energy, multimedia mischief.

As heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra, Scottish stand-up comedian Sezar Alkassab brings his conversational comedy style with silly stories and provocative punchlines to Brighton Fringe. "Exceptionally talented comedian with a no doubt bright future in comedy" (Camden Fringe Voyeur).

Join them at their exclusive after-party for songs, sketches and utter ridiculousness! NDAs will apply.

'Toffs & Plebs' is stand-up class war! Each show features two brilliant handpicked acts: one posh comic, one working class comic. Your host, Dan Tambling, is trapped in the middle. He doesn't know if he is a Toff or a Pleb. Come and laugh at the posho, the pauper, and poor old confused Dan.

GAME SHOW

Westdal and Hayward, Agony Aunts at large, like an unholy union of Mary Poppins and Eartha Kitt. Through chatter and song they advise the grammatically challenged, console the martyrs of menopause, and confess to being mad about the Mogg.

Stephanie and Paul bring you a silly hour of silliness with zero artistic merit but a shockingly high volume of Maltesers. An interactive game show with a big ol' wheel. "A riot of a show" wwww (Funny Tonne, Melbourne), "Inexplicably delightful. Prepare to bust up with laughter for the whole hour and leave beaming" (Pop Culture-y).

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.

Where do art and migration meet? What does art have to say about migration and belonging? Do artists with a migration background create art differently? As a country with a long history of migration, the exhibition 'The Art of Migration' will explore all these through a showcase of paintings, films, installations and photography, talks and performances. www.seasbrighton.com SEAS at the BMECP Centre 529 G4 10A Fleet St BN1 4ZE M

DANCE

Join Katrina on a poetic pilgrimage through her twenties, accompanied by the dance moves she learned along the way. It's a love song to bodies; a celebration of the magic of dancefloors and a challenge to the stories we're often told as women and girls. There will probably be glow sticks. This event is supported by the Encore Insure Brighton Fringe Bursary. www.katrinaswords.com

CLUB NIGHTS

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.

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.

NEW WORK

In this new staging of Jean Anouilh's 'Antigone', a group of Londoners take refuge from the Blitz in a cramped underground station. While bombs fly overhead, a 2,500-year-old story surfaces to give voice to submerged fears in the face of their own wartime tragedy.

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.

SOLO SHOW

COMEDY

Zoe has scored an invite to the Tony Awards, but there's only one catch, she's not nominated - she's a seat filler. She'll have to face a big fear; wearing high heels as a disabled woman. It's time for Zoe to rise to the challenge and become a star in her own sense. Think of it as a game of musical chairs but with famous people and one very starstruck fish out of water.

'Congratulations!' is a story of achievement, embarrassment, and self-worth told through the milestones of comedian and multiple-limb-amputee Courtney Gilmour. Winner of Best of Fringe and Patrons Pick at Toronto Fringe, Courtney is excited to be making her UK debut in Brighton.

COMEDY

Peer beyond the twitching curtains of a moonlit suburbia... Between the ceiling and the skirting board there lies a truth so terrible it straightens pubes and blinds the fly on the wall: these are our neighbours. 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.

A semi-autobiographical comedy about becoming British while remaining fully Italian. It looks at the road to becoming a British citizen, embracing a new nationality whilst staying true to your roots, and the knocks your identity takes when no country claims you as its own.

Two performers come out of a risky, ravishing, ludic world: K&A, provocators of unexpectedness. At the side of the pier they distill like neo alchemists: the crazy hour of a dog, the posture of a statue, the hustle and bustle of the crowd in a site-specific performance for your eyes. With the support of Swiss Cultural Fund UK. www.k-and-a.co

When a Nigerian family moves to London, it's a far cry from the life they'd hoped for. 'Duty' explores how detachment, discontent, gender and racial constructs play out for a young black woman, both in society and intimate relationships. Plus, the bitter-sweet hope of finding life's purpose in the midst of it all!

Loulou feels like a ticking bomb, the big 4-0 is approaching fast and she needs your help to make crucial decisions about her eggs! This surreal comedy has a sweet and sour flavour, taking you on an unforgettable journey inside a woman's mind and body, all the way into the origin of our world...

Memory, loss, mothers and daughters, and the hokeycokey. A mother and daughter revisit The Old House: beach walks, fish and chips, echoes of bygone summers. Memories surface, slip away. A last chance to meet. Wonderful storytelling with laugh out loud moments. "Funny and devastating" wwww (North West End).

A new one-woman play exploring a young refugee's fight for survival as her country falls apart before her eyes. We are transported back and forth through memories as she shares her journey; from the familiarity of joking with friends and navigating young love, to what it means to lose what we call home. "A strongly performed and emotionally charged piece of theatre" (LondonTheatre1).

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?

Everyone talks about a mid-life crisis, but what about a quarter life one? Uni's over, what happens now? A satirical and touching piece that follows the journey of two best friends facing the harsh realities of the working world.

Humanity must thrive... but at what cost? Fringe Review Outstanding Theatre (Brighton Fringe 2019).

Breadbeard returns with another fast-paced pun-tastic "kids show made for grown-ups". The anticipated origin story telling the real-loaf story of Captain Breadbeard and his continued struggle to thwart the evil plans of his mentor-turned-archnemesis, Captain Crusty Catfish.

The story of a different kind of Dutch person; a person of colour whose roots lie in another country. These are the stories that don't often get told. Dutch Poet Laureate, Onias Landveld, mixes poetry and spoken word to tell a story of identity, skin colour, acceptance and integration. Honest, humorous, cutting to the bone.

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

Lady Garden Theatre Company [GB]

LITERATURE

8+

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?

Two women walk into an office: an eco-warrior and a wannabe comedian both striving for their definition of "success". Monday to Friday, nine to five, with a pension package that they'll probably never see. They spend more time together than with their own families, but how well do they really know each other?

In this poignant and critically-acclaimed show, singersongwriter Gary Edward Jones not only recites the music of one of his idols but also tells the unique story of Paul Simon, combining visuals, stage design and of course...the music. Featuring global hit songs spanning 50 years, you will relive and rediscover these great songs again.

"Above all, a real copper is concerned with nicking criminals. That is their job. It's in their blood." 'Stray Dogs' is the debut play by Matt Wixey, ex-police officer, asking the question of what it means to wear the uniform. A work-inprogress showing.

When a pushover from Ohio moves to Tel Aviv, how does she survive the mad Middle East? She learns to surf (slowly... like turtle-slow). Twelve characters, four comedy ukulele songs and one woman searching for her inner courage on a surfboard. From half of award-winning comedy duo Hunt the Vigan. "Funny and quirky and gorgeous!"

CLASSICAL

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.

Toby Belch is unwell. The years of louche living, late nights, and debauchery have taken their toll, and now he faces his end with the knowledge that he is seen as a buffoon, a sot, and a bully. He could have been Hamlet, he could have been Macbeth... Is this his epitaph?

The Tragedy of Dorian Gray

The Tricycle

ABSURDIST

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?

DANCE

A re-imagining of Macbeth set in the 1950s. The Macbeths run a racket for Queenie from a cafe in Brighton. "There's daggers in men's smiles" and the tarot cards hold a prophesy which fuels their ambition, "False face must hide what the false heart doth know." Suitcase Theatre follow up their sell-out show 'Lear's Daughters', continuing to put women centre stage.

A contemporary dance and visual play that addresses gender identity as a way to develop a creative universe beyond convention and gender roles. The show submerges its audience into the myth of mermaids, a reference to female gender identity and its perception in Western civilisation.

CLOWN

By Sergio Roveri. The story of Marcelo, who tries to find redemption for his mistakes and encounters, and Apollonio, who has the karma of having seen too much and having done nothing. This leads us to a clash of ideas between life, choices and the deeply-rooted human belief that we must suffer for our mistakes versus the idea of forgiveness and self-forgiveness being the way. www.theinnersix.com

A wordless show about the nation's favourite talking point: the weather. We'll take the fodder of boring small talk, and brew up a lip sync lightning storm with thunderous physical comedy, dressed in green lycra. The"gut-bustingly funny" wwww (The List) Luke Rollason and Frankie Thompson create a live weather report with improvised costumes and homemade special effects.

WORKSHOP

A daring piece of new writing tackling major social issues of belonging and cultural assimilation. It's a protest against the unspoken agreement: fit IN or get OUT. "A powerful and personal performance by superb actors. It explores a wonderfully fresh perspective that is dying to be heard" wwww (Broadway Baby).

'Who You Callin Black Eh?' is a coming-of-age play set in Canada's largest, most multicultural, multilingual city. Wherever our heroine goes, she is not black enough or white enough to find her people. Does this happen in the UK too? Help design a better life in a biracial, yet sometimes racist, world. Winner of the 2019 TeenJur Award at Toronto Fringe. www.deverell.blogspot.com

Queer narratives, characters and confessions tie together with the question we all ask: what makes me an avocado? Am I ripe? Or rotting away, destined to be part of the never ending food waste? There might be an answer. There probably won't be. But we'll definitely need your help.

"A sixty minute theatrical delight" wwww (Reviewsgate), "Behan gives a mesmerising performance ... a masterpiece about the everyday horrors that can lurk behind closed doors." wwwww (The UpComing).
