Somewhere near you there is a band of brothers fighting for
justice. Seeking to rid the land of evil and return hope to the
poorly treated. They are lean, mean, trained justice fighting
machines! Armed with whatever comes their way, nothing is as it
seems in this Sherwood Forrest, but one thing is for sure . . . no
rogue is safe! Join internationally acclaimed Visible Fictions for
a silly and unexpected take on Robin Hood and be prepared to
unleash your imagination! Suitable for those ages 7 and over.
"Man Across the Way" is a dazzling, anarchic new work about
surveillance, tap-dancing and the new world order. Fraser and
Dougie are cops carrying out surveillance on the man across the
way. They suspect him of involvement in the recent terrorist attack
on the city. But are their motives entirely pure? "Magpie Park"
contains a Harvey Nicks store detective with a dodgy past and a
florist with a missing sister. What brings them together in a room
at The Queens Hotel? Part mystery, part romance, the play follows
the two from Briggate's bright lights to the birds of Hyde Park.
Mag lives in a rustic cabin in the Canadian wilds, far from
neighbours and further from her past. It's an unremarkable life,
save for the enormous bear carcass on the kitchen table. But when
her estranged daughter Beth turns up on the doorstep having been
freshly released from prison, the past becomes terrifyingly present
- and the bear isn't the only thing with a dangerous bite.
The 306 trilogy is dedicated to the memory of the 306 British
soldiers of the 1914-18 war who were shot at dawn, by their own
side, for what was then called cowardice or desertion. This final
play, The 306:Dusk, is set on November 11 2018 and considers the
impact of the First World war on today's attitudes to and
experiences of war. 2018. Armistice Day. A pregnant school teacher
is haunted by the story of her grandfather's story of having to
kill his deserter friend. On a school trip to the battlefields she
goes AWOL in a wood whilst on this very personal mission of
remembrance. An injured veteran of the Iraq war has yet to cope
with the aftermath of killing, and still relives the nightmare of
battle. A blindfolded soldier wakes up after 100 years to hear the
birds singing once more... The 306: Dusk is a unique piece of music
theatre about memory and forgetting, friendship and betrayal,
exploring what the Great War means to us today. From the 2-minute
silence at 11am to dusk that same day, three disparate characters,
a string quartet and a choir of voices from the past and present
show how our world is shaped by the war to end all wars. The play
ends with a roll call of the first names of the 306 soldiers. It
also includes extracts from the diary of Oliver Emanuel as he
researched and created the 2018 production. The 306: Dusk was a
National Theatre Scotland and Perth Theatre production,
co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK's arts programme for the First
World War centenary and is the concluding part of the 306 Trilogy,
following 2016's premiere The 306: Dawn, and performances in 2017
of The 306: Day.
The 306: Day is the second part of Oliver Emanuel and Gareth
Williams' powerful new First World War trilogy, charting the
heart-breaking journey of the 306 men executed for cowardice and
desertion during the conflict and the devastating consequences for
those they left behind. This part explores how the war affected
women, families, and communities on the home front. Inspired by
real events and first-hand accounts, The 306: Day follows the lives
of three ordinary women fighting to be heard above the clamor of
World War 1.
