Multi-award-winning ‘theatrical maverick’ (Sunday Times), ‘site-specific genius’ (Scotsman) and ‘Fringe institution’ (Independent) David Leddy presents this dynamic, uplifting escapade about art forgery, castration and blind drunkenness.
Liz and Jim are small-time con artists who need £250,000 fast. They decide to become the world’s greatest counterfeiters. There’s only one problem. They can’t paint.
This boisterous caper finds the absurd connections between verbatim theatre, free-market economics and a castrated labradoodle in a classic Chanel clutch bag.
Developed with support from Royal Shakespeare Company and British Museum.
Four Police Officers sit in a riot van. Called out to a domestic dispute, which may turn violent, they are on stand by; waiting to enter a flat where a man is wielding a samurai sword.
We wait with them, experiencing the relationships forged through the stress of the job and the turmoil of being caught between following orders and protecting themselves.
Written by a former Police Officer, Stand By shows the modern-day Police Service laid bare.
A unique performance, audiences are asked to wear single-earpiece headphones, as Police Officers do, to tell this urgent story in a multi-sensory way.

They dance, play, sing and make music in the undergrowth while uncovering secret treasures. An inviting new work for children aged 0 – 12 months and their adult.

Co-devised and directed by Kath Burlinson.
