Synopsis: | Prosper is an ex-Rasta lost in London, trying to make sense of his dog-filled dreams. Madame Talate remembers her island as a paradise and Teddy Hibbert loves turtles but has trouble remembering people. Their stories collide in a dream turned nightmare of one Stu Barber. In the late 1960s the Chagos islanders were evicted from their Indian Ocean home to make way for a US military base. Set against the actual events of their displacement and fight for justice A Few Man Fridays begins in the age of Cold War secrets and ends in the era of global warming. Cardboard Citizens stages this compelling story in its trademark style where personal testimony and historical narrative meet to forge epic, mesmerising theatre, fusing music, video and YouTube footage. Moving, gripping and funny, A Few Man Fridays unearths an inglorious episode of British history, and explores the fantasies of the powerful, set against the dreams of the powerless. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Shakespeare adapted by Adrian Jackson and Sarah Woods | |||||
Synopsis: | Cardboard Citizens love to contextualise Shakespeare, they induct the audience for Timon into a management-training seminar. This leads to an amusing introductory assessment of the Bard's work in terms of how it can enhance your managerial skills: thus, Hamlet becomes about "prioritising your to-do list". If Adrian Jackson's production of Timon works, it is less because of the packaging than because of its grasp of the raw essentials. | |||||

Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Original Playwright - Georg Buchner | |||||
Synopsis: | it depicts a very modern kind of alienation: Woyzeck, prey to the terrifying voices in his head, is isolated in a world that, despite the interventions of intrigued medics, understands his torment little and by and large cares less. It's a fascinating critique of the way in which mental illness stigmatises, and of how a differing perception of facts and events can separate an individual from mainstream society. | |||||
