Notes:

adapted by Carl Grose from the works of Gwyn Thomas; music by Iain Johnstone

Synopsis:

National Theatre Wales will celebrate one of Wales' most distinctive voices of the last century with The Dark Philosophers, a brand new dramatisation of the ink-black comic tales of Gwyn Thomas, the great Welsh storyteller and dark, hilarious chronicler of the Valleys. The youngest of 12 children, Gwyn Thomas (1913-1981) was born and brought up in Cymmer, in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales. Growing up in poverty, he won a scholarship to Oxford University, and returned to Wales to teach. The Dark Philosophers, a collection of short stories, was published in 1946, while his novels include The Alone to the Alone (1947); All Things Betray Thee (1949); The World Cannot Hear You (1951), and Now Lead Us Home (1952). His play The Keep opened at the Royal Court Theatre in 1961, to great acclaim.

Notes:

Mime Festival @ BAC 1998

Synopsis:

An anarchic tale of redemption. In a quiet house in a quiet street the kids are beating dad with twigs, mum's at the end of her tether and grandma thinks the lodger is Jesus. Don't Laugh it's my Life is inspired by Tartuffe, Molière's classic comedy of human obsession. It tells the story of a man who seemingly has everything but is persuaded to give it all up in search of a better life. He falls under the influence of an enigmatic stranger, a holy man. His first impressions prove misleading and chaos ensues for everyone. Don't Laugh it's my Life is a farce with occasional dark and disturbing undertones. In an attempt to rediscover the spontaneity and invention of Commedia dell'Arte, the Company has drawn heavily on the techniques and structures of that form whilst managing to avoid the distinctive marks at the tradition. The result is a vigorous mix of physical comedy and high drama with flights of fancy that have you gasping for breath as a family falls apart.

A collaboration with Nitro and the Theatre Royal Plymouth

Synopsis:

An awe-inspiring and epic event combining the spectacular imagery of Trinidadian carnival with compelling live music and the theatrical inventiveness that has become Told by an Idiot's trademark. This is a superbly anarchic show that lifts you off your feet. When the plantation owner, Mr Walker, kills a penniless street beggar trying to court his daughter, he's haunted to the grave and into the spirit world beyond - to a point where carnival is his only option. Set in a cartoon world, The Evocation of Papa Mas is a love story and a mischievous parody which is sometimes beautiful and poignant, yet shocking and raucously funny at the same time. This is a show for everyone with a zest for life!

Notes:

devised by Told by an Idiot and Biyi Bandele-Thomas

Synopsis:

A haunting love story laced with delicious comedy. Collaborating with a writer for the first time, Told by an Idiot has commissioned the acclaimed Biyi Bandele. The commissioning of this new play marks a major development for the Company and fulfils a desire to tackle a text, from a writer we have long admired. In a place where time has stood still, Mister Deka D celebrates his birthday. A man, Trisk, and a woman, Lika, come together to confront their past, whilst doing all they can to avoid it. Meanwhile, Mister Deka D doesn't seem to realise what is taking place around him, in the same way that Trisk and Lika don't seem to notice Mister Deka D's presence. The genesis of collaboration between Biyi Bandele and Told by an Idiot comes from a mutual fascination with storytelling. The rich vein of humour that runs through Biyi's work is a particular area that the Company wishes to explore and challenge with its own approach of mixing comedy and tragedy. Ultimately to attempt the fusion of new writing and physical theatre feels like an exciting departure and a natural progression for Told by an Idiot. The play aims to focus as much on what is unspoken in a relationship as what is said, and creating a world where the smallest detail can prove to have the greatest resonance. Mister Deka D celebrates his birthday in a place where time has stood still. A man and a woman come together to confront their past, whilst doing all they can to avoid it. Happy Birthday, Mister Deka D is an intense, moving and comic look at the nature of love and the effect that the past has on the present.

Synopsis:

A moving homage to an exceptional friendship. Following Northern Stage's invitation to open their Lorca Festival in May 1998 to celebrate the centenary of Lorca's birth, Told by an Idiot devised a new piece of work, I Weep at my Piano. Inspired by a mutual fascination with the work and imagination of three great artists, Lorca, Dalí and Bunuel, the Company has created a show as captivating and as charismatic as the men themselves. They were drawn to these three artists because of their anarchy, reflected in works such as Bunuel's Viridiana, their imagistic poetry, seen in all of Lorca's plays and their teasing morality, a running theme in the work of Dalí. Overall we were probably most attracted by their startling innovation. Told by an Idiot recognise and respond to this area of creativity, where there is no judgement of ideas and a wildness of the imagination. Rather than making an autobiographical play, the Company captures something of their spirit, their use of truth and lies, their naughtiness and passion, their genius and glamour. I Weep at my Piano marks a departure for the Company in several ways: for the first time, narrative is not the driving force within the production. The focus shifts instead to a dreamlike world full of atmosphere and illusion. To avoid a simple collage of images the piece is set in a real environment and situation from which we can constantly depart and return. Three men, one tough, one skinny and one ugly, meet for the first time. The men would come to be regarded as three of Spain's greatest and most influential artists: Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca and film maker Luis Bunuel. I weep at my piano is inspired by the tempestuous relationship between these one-time friends. Lorca waits in a government building hours away from the bullets that will kill him. He begins to remember the years past when he first met Salvador Dalí and Luis Bunuel, at the Residencia in Madrid in 1923. As these stories combine a strange dreamlike world is evoked. Whilst making no attempt to make a purely autobiographical play, I weep at my piano takes elements of Lorca's life, mixes them up and adds some bits. Told by an Idiot aims to capture something of the spirit of these three great artists, with Bunuel and Dalí appearing as Lorca's memories leading him to his fate.

Synopsis:

A Little Fantasy was first developed as a work in progress as part of the 2001 London International Mime Festival. The Company will re-visit this work and develop it into a full production to tour in the Autumn 2002 - Spring 2003. From Shakespeare to the Sopranos, people have always been fascinated by families and often the more dysfunctional the better. Told by an Idiot gives their own highly original take on 'the family', the power struggles, the egos and the bonds that can never be broken. Set in a time when the natural order of things has collapsed, A Little Fantasy tells the story of a family who dwells outside of the law, living on their wits, and ruled by two women whose hearts 'beat as one.'

Synopsis:

Shoot Me In The Heart was a co-production with The Gate Theatre, London. Shoot Me In The Heart is based on an Argentinian short story. Dedicated to all those who dare to follow their heart, it tells the story of an unlikely love affair set in a small coastal town in South America in the 1930's. A woman gives birth to a girl whom she adores. On her daughter' seventh birthday, the mother realises that her little girl will never grow again. Time passes. In the town is an ageing romantic figure, whom everybody is fascinated by. On the day of the girl's seventeenth birthday this man buys her a present of a white pony and falls in love with her. He tries to deny this feeling to himself and goes travelling for five years. It is impossible, so he returns. They marry and live happily ever after, until one day a circus comes to town. . .. This is a particular tale, about a particular situation, and yet, like all the best stories, its themes are universal. It is in its essence both sad and ridiculous, funny and painfully familiar.
