WHAT THE CIRCUS? / FLIGHT OF THE ESCALES The Garage, Norwich 9th-11th February 2017 Three performers will deconstruct the realities of everyday circus life; their stories and experiences, bodies and injuries and then re-construct to build new landscapes of the epic, theatrical, animal and fundamental. At times stark and unforgiving; an exposé of the illusion and a post-dramatic stripping back which then transforms beyond recognition; denying and redefining its circus label. www.flightoftheescales.com
TOMMOROW I'LL BE TWENTY / COMPLICITE & RCSSD Directed by Catherine Alexander Pleasance Theatre, February 2017
NATIVES / BOUNDLESS THEATRE Directed by Rob Drummer Southwark Playhouse, 1st-22nd April 2017 Three countries. Three teenagers. One average, life-altering day. A young man battles with feelings of love and violence. Another is stuck with the image of someone being pushed from a rooftop. And a girl must choose between her friends and her conscience. Natives is a rallying cry to a generation of unlikely heroes and celebrates coming of age online in a chaotic world. www.boundlesstheatre.org.uk
