Three works share a common playful interest in the act of storytelling. Touching, comic and resolutely hopeful, this is a unique collection of works by an ever-surprising international ensemble.
Alice Bell 2.30pm - a fictional character born into a fictional conflict, Alice seeks happiness in a divided land, finding love and companionship but at a terrible cost. Part DIY musical, part fairy-tale, Alice Bell offers a portrait of life as an act of hope, life as something to sing and dance about.
Daniel Hit by A Train 5.00pm - inspired by a Victorian collection of 53 true stories about people losing their lives in the act of saving another, this work tells each tragedy in turn, in all their comedic, vaudevillian glory. Sincere but unafraid to raise a smile to these most selfless of souls Daniel Hit by A Train stands as a testimony to our abiding need to help each other.
The Festival 7.30pm - this work continues the company's playful approach to storytelling, narrative and song, presenting an episode in the life of a character where chance and coincidence leave an indelible mark.
The running time for each show is 75 mins.
