| It's been a month since Stephen stepped over the edge. There was no sign - no warning. Amy collects her husband's effects, the things he had with him gathered in a single box. As memories of their last night together rewind, replay and unravel, she is desperate to find out why. Joe and Matt are making a documentary. Whilst reviewing their footage they make a startling discovery that will take their film in an unexpected direction - the blurred image of a man jumping from the cliffs. Beachy Head is a powerful look at the ripple effects of one man's decision. Mixing text, 3D animation and a dynamic physicality, | |||||

| "I don't know who he is but he's old, he's got to know stuff&he's got to be like wise and stuff yeah?" Anton Chekhov, masterful playwright and mirror to Russian society, awakening from one hundred years of sleep, is thrust rudely into twenty first century Britain. Reality shows, fashionistas, Z-list celebrities, illegal immigrants, chuggers and wags. Pole dancing, YouTube, Twitter and 5-a-day. Chekhov in Hell takes you on a whirlwind tour of modern day Britain. | |||||

Synopsis: | lt is the 14th UN Conference of the Future, and the subject is climate change. The delegates have gathered at their Perspex desks to hammer out a Kyoto-style agreement. but they seem more interested in national rivalries, free-market enterprise and post-conference sex than saving the planet. Only the poor woman from a sinking Pacific island 465 miles south of Fiji has any sense of urgency, and she is as powerless as the rioting mob on the streets outside the meeting room. What turns a white-collar satire into extraordinary' theatre is the repeated segues into flamboyant cabaret in Graham Eatough's production for Suspect Culture and the National Theatre of Scotland. When the delegates aren't pontificating behind laptops. they are stepping out into tangos, torch songs or gymnastic routines. When they can't settle on a joint manifesto, they break into a rousing sing-along worthy of Chitty Chilly Bang Bang. The procrastination continues while Rome burns, the company presenting a heightened vision of a species running headless into the unknown. uncertain whether to celebrate humanity's gift for artistry and spectacle, or to put an end to mankind for fear of a frightening future. The apocalyptic conclusion shows our egotistical, vainglorious and confused actions for the pathetic gestures they are, though the play's political ambivalence adds more to our eco--confusion than it clarifies. | |||||
