| Parts: | Male | 5 | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Original Playwright - Uglijesa Sajinac. transl. Duska Radosavljevic, English version Chris Thorpe | |||||
Synopsis: | "Sajtinac was in West Yorkshire for only three days, though that was enough time to notice "the way it rains in that boring way it does". His point is that for the generation who grew up under communism, then went through the war, Huddersfield - even in the rain - seems a distant realm of infinite promise. Set in the obscure Serbian town of Zrenjarin, the play commemorates a beer-and-spliff-fuelled reunion of a group of former school friends coming to terms with turning 30. Rasha, possessor of a dark and dangerous intellect, lives in a sty and behaves like a pig. Even the toilet door has fallen prey to his drunken father's haphazard asset-stripping. Downstairs, his friend Ivan is a damaged poet who is in and out of mental institutions. And Igor, who left to make a new life in England, is back home to intensify their sense of self-loathing.

Notes: | written by Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe | |||||
Synopsis: | In this unique, Fringe First winning theatrical experience, poet Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe explore the universally-known feeling that dawns when a huge mistake has been made. Set around an office table - the scene of so many oh fuck moments, audiences are invited to share their own mortifying slip-ups as Chris and Hannah examine the poetic guts of mistakes in a bundle of words and strip lighting. An oh fuck moment is the truest, funniest, most terrifying of feelings. Sometimes, mistakes are so great that there is no way back. But they also help us learn and appreciate what it means to feel human. | |||||

| Parts: | Male | 1 | Female | 1 | ||

Notes: | devised by Chris Thorpe, Alexander Kelly and Rachael Walton | |||||
Synopsis: | Presumption captures a young couple at the moment when they realise that their relationship has become comfortable rather than passionate, habitual rather than dramatic. Against the backdrop of an insignificant quarrel, they examine their relationship and their willingness or not to accept its limitations. Third Angel's work is always visually interesting and here the mental exertions are mirrored by the performers' physical efforts as they struggle on and off the stage with an ever-increasing collection of domestic detritus. The piece is likely to resonate with young adult audiences. | |||||

Notes: | second in trilogy | |||||
Synopsis: | Michael is a well-known photographer specializing in war zones. His daughter has just been saved from drowning by a total stranger while Michael stood by. He and his wife, Susan, have the stranger round to dinner - to thank him. It does not go well. Susan finds Michael cold and distant. The stranger thinks that Michael is an emotional bully. Michael only feels truly alive when he's in danger. Interspersed with scenes showing Michael in Bosnia, Safety deals with a very modern form of alienation: how can we respond humanely to the horrors depicted in the media? And what happens to those whose job it is to report them? | |||||

Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Written and Devised by: Clare Duffy, Liz Margree, Jon Spooner and Chris Thorpe | |||||
Synopsis: | Tangle is set in an underground research facility on Wimbledon Common where two scientists are on the verge of an incredible breakthrough. It's about the search for a lost brother, a missing uncle, a dead wife and an untraceable atom. It's about heroes, the ethics of progress and daring to believe in things we cannot see. It's a bit like Doctor Who meets Moonlighting. Tangle mixes quantum physics with urban myth, Albert Einstein with Great Uncle Bulgaria and uses leading edge scientific advances to teleport an orange. No really, we do. As with all of Unlimited's shows it's smart and it's funny. It throws some serious emotional and intellectual punches and it isn't scared of being a bit silly. It tells a great story and leaves room for you to do some of the imagining for yourselves. And we teleport an orange. What more could you possibly want? | |||||
