Islands

Islands
This is my world, I am the king, I make the rules and everyone else can go to hell. This is off-shore. Islands is an illuminating, absurd and powerful new show about tax havens, little empires, enormous greed and the few who have it all. Hilarious and unnerving, this ink black comedy with music plunges you into a monstrous, secretive world where it really seems that no-one has to pay&. for anything. Head off-shore and frolic with those who have it all worked out, as they feed their addiction to wealth, power and material stuff. Oxfam estimate that there is $18.5 trillion siphoned out of the world economy into tax havens by wealthy individuals alone. Christian Aid has calculated that 1,000 children die every day as a result of tax evasion. This is not just a political or social challenge; this is a matter of human rights. "As you know, I have made fighting the scourge of tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance a priority. . ." - David Cameron. We thought the PM might need a hand.

Tranklements

Synopsis:
A funny, inspiring solo performance about underdogs and Midlands spirit from Olivier award nominee and Edinburgh Fringe favourite. Mercia's an under performer; average with self- confidence issues. But look closer and she's as old as the hills, strong as an ox and a bit of a dark horse. She's got a grin on her face cos she's decided to tell her story and show us the treasures she's been holding so close to her chest.
