Synopsis: | Initially developed at the National Theatre Studio, FRET is a story of our aspirational youth culture, and its turbulences. From wild dances, frenzied fights and beat boxing, to drugs, desperation and dreams of stardom, FRET is a statement on the isolations of modern metropolitan life. It brings together actors, dancers, a DJ and a percussionist to create an intense multidisciplinary experience that is honest, significant and most importantly, entertaining. | |||||

Synopsis: | If what I hear is true is a play by Soumyak Kanti DeBiswas, offering contemporary reflections on T.S. Eliots The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. 4am in a nightclub in London: crushed among thousands, dancing to lasers and exploding vibrations. 4pm on a beach in Sri Lanka: alone with the sounds from a crackling radio and the enormity of the Indian Ocean. If what I hear is true moves between time and space, loneliness and love, and pulls our fractured, frantic world together with movement, videography and electronic soundscapes. | |||||
