REMEDIES
Devised and Directed
by John Durnin
Designed by Sarah Williamson
Saturday 3 July - Saturday
10 July at 7.15pm
Matinee: Saturday 10
July at 2.30pm
.
Daniel Defoe's famous and
original piece of dramatic journalism, A Journal of the Plague Years, is
the starting point for John Durnin's show which will explore with the cast
the meaning of "plague" both in a contemporary and an historical setting.
"An accident, a design, a dream or a delirium?" It is impossible to describe
what a group of actors under the guidance of a challenging director may
come up with, but you can be sure that it will excite, stimulate and encompass
theatre on the edge of danger.
A wonderful opportunity to
witness exploration and the development of young actors as their imaginations
take wing.

TYGER
TWO
by Adrian Mitchell
Directed by Richard
Williams
Designed by Janey Gardner
Friday 2 July - Friday
9 July at 7.30pm
Matinee: Thursday 8
July at 2.30pm
.
A celebration of the life of
William Blake, with songs. This lively, irreverent and original play by
one of our foremost contemporary poets is a recreation of his renowned
play, Tyger, first presented by the National Theatre in 1971.
Mitchell writes: "Many things
have changed since 1971, in the real world and in show business...there
were several scenes I wanted to re-think completely. While William Blake
seemed less out of date than he was before - he is still a thousand years
ahead of his time - the enemies of art and of humanity have altered their
tactics."
Up to date satire - don't
miss it!
