Synopsis: | The most important day in the village calendar is almost upon us and the eccentric inhabitants of Little Upper Downing are all in a flutter. There's gossip in the tearoom and a flurry in the florists to say nothing of the deep seated rivalry on the allotments. The village is pulling out all the stops and the fete hasn't even started yet. Join us for a theatrical feast celebrating the unique charms of village life and the people who live there. Expect live music, innovative puppetry, vibrant visuals and a vast array of unforgettable characters as they prepare for a big day that's getting increasingly out of control . . . | |||||

Notes: | devised by Clare Beresford, Dominic Conway, Eugenie Pastor and Shamira Turner | |||||
Synopsis: | Somewhere in middle England four unlikely teenagers are preparing for judgment day with ladders, Elvis and Forest Fruits squash - Stokelys Annual Talent Competition is nigh. With a stage full of instruments and an eclectic mix of recorded music, Little Bulb Theatre capture the confusing, awkward and beautifully naïve time of adolescence. The time when the once simple beliefs you held dear now need re-adjusting to face the complexities of adulthood. Operation Greenfireld is a bizarre and visually fantastical exploration of faith and friendship. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Even such a gradiose term as "epic folk opera" - Little Bulb Theatre's own description of Sporadical - is too small an umbrella to cover everything the company pile into this show. It's too restrictive a pigeonhole even to contain the show's full musical gamut, which includes sea shanties, Gothic piano-led laments and beat poetry; yet the musical, too, nestles within a larger frame. The big picture is the 2010 Welles-Ferry family reunion. The audience assumes the role of the extended family, while Little Bulb are the family's youngest generation. This provides the pretext for some exuberant audience interaction - the gently immersive kind, not the threatening kind - and for the meta-musical: the little 'uns are performing the family's origin story as passed down by recently-deceased patriarch Reginald Welles-Ferry. | |||||
