MIGHTY OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW A studio is a place where an artist makes their work. It is a place of experimentation and learning. Of not knowing and asking. A place of curiosity, delight and wonderment. The delight of the studio theatre; the thing it uniquely has that no other theatre experience comes close to is intimacy. It is live and up close, like tv you can touch, smell and feel. You breathe with the performer and see the glint in their eye. You follow every beat of the heart. In shared space and time. Stephen Wrentmore Artistic Producer ‘We can’t wait to get up close and personal with the good people of Poole in the Sherling Studio. We’ll be coming to you with 21 fast-paced sketches and 33 fun and funny characters.’

Thursday 22 June Paper Tiger
Octopus Three women are called in for assessment. Sara looks sort of Asian, Scheherazade sort of Middle Eastern and Sarah is sort of white. But how British are they. Fresh from Edinburgh Fringe, this post Brexit satire explores what it is to be treated like a foreigner in your own land.
Tickets: £13 (£2 concessions) Octopus is about borders – both national and between each other. I’m looking forward to seeing it in the intimate Sherling Studio where the border between audience and performer is barely visible.

The Drive
Two women. A fractured friendship. A car full of boxes and a message from a dead friend. The Drive recounts an unexpected Nordic road trip which sees two estranged friends thrown together on a tense journey from London to Oslo. Spliced through with humour, slick physicality, an original contemporary soundtrack and video projection, The Drive is a show about friendship, grief, the fragility of memory, turning 40 and coming of age in the 1990s. From the Dorset company who created The Ballad of Martha Brown, Otto and the Robin, Moonfleet and The Secret Garden.
Tickets: £7.50 Booking Fees: Prices quoted are for tickets booked in person at the Ticket Office. Tickets booked via telephone or online are subject to a booking fee of up to £1.75 per ticket.

The intimacy and darkness of the amazing Sherling Studio space allowed us to really focus our thoughts and explore the possibility of using projection as a way of examining how memories are constructed and recalled.
