It's the moment of your death. There's a magic button. Do you
delete your entire online legacy? Or do you keep it - and leave the
choice for someone else? USER NOT FOUND is about our digital lives
after we die. Dante or Die's play, created with pioneering
theatre-artist Chris Goode, is inspired by a Guardian article by
Caroline Twigg about dealing with her late husband's digital
afterlife. In the play Terry becomes responsible for the online
legacy of his partner - he is flooded with condolence texts and
messages about his partner's death, and then has to decide what to
keep and what to delete. The performance was originally developed
with creative technologists Marmelo, and was performed in a cafe,
where the audience share Terry's story through smartphones and
headphones. In this format the play was performed in cafes across
the country, including at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe. The audience
become a fly-on-the-wall to peer into the life of a man who is
faced with keeping or deleting. A story of contemporary grief
unfolds through this intimate, funny performance that gently
interrogates our need for connection. "With his tender script,
[Goode] hands us each the weight of the internet and asks how we
get closure in a world where nothing ever switches off." The
Guardian.

Faith in the establishment collapsing everywhere. The far right on
the march. Culture wars and random violence - all decked out in
red, white and blue. But a spirit of anarchy hangs in the air, the
desire to burn it all down and start over. Derek Jarman's iconic
film captured punk at its giddy height: a riot of music, DIY
fashion, and every kind of sex - with a little pyromania thrown in.
Forty years on, this new stage adaptation of Jubilee remixes it for
the social and political turmoil of 2017. The cast of the original
production at the Royal Exchange Manchester was led by one of the
film's original cast members, legendary punk warrior Toyah Willcox.
Centred around a marauding girl gang on a killing spree and a
time-travelling Queen Elizabeth I, it's a story of what happens
when creativity and nihilism collide.
