Love and Information

Thu 21 May • 7:30pm • Full £12 Concs £10 • Community Theatre

By Caryl Churchill
Presented by The Actor’s Wheel

What information do we decide to give away? Can we keep any of it to ourselves?
What happens when the information we are given turns out to be false?
Caryl Churchill’s play Love and Information asks these questions.
Through a host of fascinating characters a striking picture begins to emerge of who we are, how we see ourselves and how we try to understand each other.
If there is something that stops us being nothing but information, it is our need to make connections and to feel connected. Is that love?

Pete Searles: Hey Gringo! Bolivia & Beyond

Fri 22 May • 8pm • Full £14 Concs £10 • Comedy/Spoken Word

Join Pete Searles on the second leg of HEY GRINGO! his internationally acclaimed trilogy.

A bar in Cuzco…in the company of a motley crew of world travellers and drifters, a plot is hatched over a game of darts to pop over the border to seek a fabled cave – rumoured to hold the last of the cosmic secrets. A journey across Bolivia: Lawless cities, seedy bars, prisons, jungle nightclubs, drug-enforcement agents, gun-toting Nazis, a Narco kingpin, giant tarantulas and a marriage-minded female police officer. An odyssey that leads finally to a lost world in remotest Amazonia and the shadow of Cerro Amboro – the great sacred mountain shrouded in mystery and myth.

“Completely captivated the audience. With this mixture of traveller’s tales and raw stand-up comedy, spiced with a pinch of mime, Searles may have created a whole new genre of theatre… A natural raconteur of sharp wit.” Bermuda Gazette

“Walking, talking travelogues are a great British tradition, be it Michael Palin on TV or David Hare on stage, and Peter Searles’ tale of his Latin American exploits is no exception. Like Indiana Jones on speed, he borders on slapstick as he dances with drunken Indians or demonstrates in Spanish how to catch and cook a tarantula.” The Guardian

John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett in Concert

Fri 12 Jun • 8pm • Full £15 Concs £13 • Music

After more than 40 years of attempted escapes and still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the dead-pan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious. John is a lyrical genius and is partnered by Willy’s ability to play almost every known instrument, including a few home-made ones.

It soon transpired that the ‘Last Straw Tour’ was only to be the last of… well, quite a few more, as Willy claims that the phrase was aimed at the audience dying off rather than the duo finally citing artistic differences and splitting up.
