Notes: | Part of Sixty-Six Books: 21st-century writers speak to the King James Bible. Play is a response to the King James Bible book of Judges | |||||
| The King James Version of the Bible (KJV) is a foundation stone of the English language. The KJV was composed as a collective project and written to be spoken. Sixty-Six Books has been created, in the spirit of the original, in the same way. Pulpit to print; stage to page; mediated through many forms oral and written, the KJV has, since its inception, been a fundamental part of written and spoken English.This is a work that has travelled to every continent of the globe. It has been shared as a melodic instrument of inspiration, illumination and mutual understanding; and it has also been wielded as a tool of colonial oppression. Sixty-Six Books is a fresh interpretation of the KJV for the new millennium, celebrating and challenging the traditions and achievements of this great work on the occasion of its 400th anniversary. The curators of this project have gathered together a formidable and inspiring line-up of the best established and emerging writing talent to produce a new version of the KJV for thetwenty-first century. Each writer has created anew a book of the KJV - as prose, poetry, drama, performance, song, or ground-breaking digital form. Each writer has spoken back to the KJV with untrammeled inventiveness of the imagination. The voices of Sixty-Six Books, drawn from across five continents, innovate, transmute, transpose, reinvent and talk back to four hundredyears of history. All the works that make up Sixty-Six Books are written to be spoken. Culminating in major performance events at the Bush Theatre and Westminster Abbey in 2011 in London, Sixty-Six Books is a contribution towards the mutual curiosity, tolerance, and force of collective enterprise and shared humanity that characterizes the international and ancient arts of writing and spoken performance | |||||

Genre: | short comedy | |||||

Notes: | part of Where's My Seat? | |||||
Synopsis: | Fossils features a couple of geriatrics played by Miss Annis and Richard Cordery, each on top form. In the long ago, they so nearly got together and, using deadpan delivery, relive the near misses of lives that have consisted of little else. The theme makes this a bittersweet comedy and the random props and instructions then add a veneer of welcome absurdism. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| This is a very good place to come from. Cos it's knackered and funny and it's falling in the sea. . . But it's not a good place to end up. Things aren't going to plan for one family in Withernsea. Pieces are falling off Martin's milk float as quickly as he's losing customers and something's up with Kath's kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, whilst Sophie's dreams of becoming a Jiu-Jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plug hole. And amid the dreaming, dramas and dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink? An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes, by Bush Associate Playwright Tom Wells. | |||||

| Stitch, a young man from a tiny village in East Yorkshire, leaves behind the comforts of his job in a knitting shop, in search of the bright city lights and the gay scene of Hull. But, when staying with his heavily pregnant sister Liz and her partner Mark doesn't turn out to be quite what he hoped, Stitch gets caught up in a rather sticky situation involving a zoo keeper, a man in a giant penguin suit, and an overdose of kelp. | |||||

Synopsis: | One new theatre, three experts, three playwrights and you. As the Bush prepares to open the doors of our new home in Autumn this year, were asking you to test drive the space and be a part of its transformation from library to theatre. Over the course of one evening, youll see three short plays by three hot Bush playwrights performed in three different layouts. Each play will be inspired by nine curious props chosen by the National Theatre and a set of challenging stage directions created by Alan Ayckbourn, Michael Grandage and Bush Artistic Director Josie Rourke. As the stage transforms and the seats move around, well ask you to feedback your views from the stalls - and to put to test other areas of the building from the bathrooms to the bar. Part of the Bush's 32 Degree West Season - the angle from the front door of our old home of 39 years to our new home at 7 Uxbridge Road | |||||
