MAD WOMEN: THE LIFE -AND DEATH- OF THREE WOMEN ARTISTS LIVING WITH BIPOLAR

  • 18:45  20:15

 Witty, fierce and fearless. Mad Women is a play inspired by three outstanding Latin American women artists who struggled with bipolar disorder. It is a fictional portrayal of Frida Khalo, Violeta Parra and Judith Marquez’s mental journeys from life to death, in the form of intertwined monologues.

Mad Women is a project funded by the Arts Council England and led by Latinx director and playwright, Constanza Hola Chamy. It has been produced in partnership with St Margaret’s House, London.

THE HUNGER ARTIST BY FRANZ KAFKA

  • 19:00  20:00

What is Art? And what does it mean to be an Artist?

Franz Kafka’s ‘Hunger Artist’ nourishes his soul the only way he knows how, 

by starving himself, in his small, barred cage, before crowds of spectators, some admiring, some sneering and contemptuous. 

Seeking acclaim for his craft and acceptance, validation and perhaps love from his audience, this is his ‘art’ and, though often torturous for him, he will stop at nothing in his pursuit of perfection.

This is Franz Kafka’s final work and in the centenary year of Kafka’s passing, we celebrate his life and work with this solo retelling of this dramatic short story.

Kafka was editing "A Hunger Artist" on his deathbed, a story whose composition he had begun before his own throat closed to the point that he himself could not take any more  nourishment.

  Actor: Jonathan Sidgwick

SHOTGUNNED

  • 21:00  22:00

Shotgunned tells the story of Dylan and Roz, a couple who unexpectedly fall out of love.

 It is a poignant and humorous reflection on the messy and the beautiful in relationships and how we can come up against a dead end, no matter how much we care for each other. It also speaks about our dreams and the courage and resilience it takes to follow them. In equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking, Shotgunned is a relatable and intimate piece of theatre about the people we lose that shape who we become.

 Written and directed by Matt Anderson, Shotgunned is Kangaroo Court’s debut theatrical production. It comes to The Etcetera as part of a UK-wide tour, performing at theatres in Cornwall, Exeter, Bath, London, Brighton, and Edinburgh.

'You find yourself laughing out loud one moment and gripping for tissues the next… Shotgunned breaks your heart, patches it together and then breaks it again.’ - FalWriting

 ‘Despite focussing on a break up, Shotgunned is very funny throughout.’ - ★★★★★ The Packet

SHOTGUNNED

  • 21:00  22:00

Shotgunned tells the story of Dylan and Roz, a couple who unexpectedly fall out of love.

 It is a poignant and humorous reflection on the messy and the beautiful in relationships and how we can come up against a dead end, no matter how much we care for each other. It also speaks about our dreams and the courage and resilience it takes to follow them. In equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking, Shotgunned is a relatable and intimate piece of theatre about the people we lose that shape who we become.

 Written and directed by Matt Anderson, Shotgunned is Kangaroo Court’s debut theatrical production. It comes to The Etcetera as part of a UK-wide tour, performing at theatres in Cornwall, Exeter, Bath, London, Brighton, and Edinburgh.

'You find yourself laughing out loud one moment and gripping for tissues the next… Shotgunned breaks your heart, patches it together and then breaks it again.’ - FalWriting

 ‘Despite focussing on a break up, Shotgunned is very funny throughout.’ - ★★★★★ The Packet

GOTTA HAVE FAITH

  • 19:00  20:00

Growing up in 1980's rural Wiltshire requires more than a little patience, especially when you're gay and trying to be a good Christian, with a love for George Michael.

This testament is a nakedly honest, funny and poignant story, of one man's journey through drugs, sex, abuse and self acceptance from Neil Maxfield, cabaret artist and creator of the five-star West End Musical Theatre Walking Tour.

Don't miss a show that is heartbreakingly familiar to anyone who knows rock bottom is only a careless whisper away.
