| Soldier Boy, a troubled teenage hoody, stumbles onto a muddy Deptford beach with a knife in his belly. His cries are heard by the mysterious Desert Man, from a village in the Sahara, outside Timbuktu. Through a magical odyssey we travel back through the sands of time to the 1700s, where Desert Man is kidnapped, shackled and transported across Africa and the Atlantic to an American plantation and beyond. This is just the start of an amazing journey around the world where revelations along the way change both man and boy forever. An a cappella musical with story-telling and song woven seamlessly together into an epic musical drama. | |||||

Synopsis: | It's Summer on the West Bank. Two young women are living in a town under occupation. From the isolation of their bedroom they watch TV, surf the net, debate art, politics, philosophy and swear their love affair to secrecy. When women discover the story of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, infamous lesbian surrealist artists at the centre of the World War II resistance movement on the island of jersey, they are inspired. As the bulldozers roll in and the bombs rain down, the wall rises up and the war rages on, the women have an intifada of the imagination. The lovers step out and invoke a quiet revolution. | |||||

Synopsis: | Few performers could carry a one-woman devised show which takes a picaresque heroine from Negro slavery in the Deep South to whale hunting near the South Pole - oh, and queers recorded history, affectionately burlesques the great white writer, and protests against ice cap meltdown en route. But Mojisola Adebayo is that woman: with her long limbs, elastic countenance, and a rangy voicebox (which projects elderly Baptist preachers and hopeful young maidens with an equally spooky clarity) she's as subtle and supple as a whole ensemble. | |||||
