By Caroline Horton

 

Paris 1945. Christiane waits for a ticket to England that will reunite her with her fiancé. While she waits, this irrepressible mademoiselle recounts the love story between her (an eccentric, acutely-myopic Parisian) and a tongue-tied English teacher from Staffordshire. A tender, comic portrayal of one woman's experience of love and war.

Seven Artists Seven Interventions One Space: Telling Stories: Alexander Brattell, Dawn Cole, Sinéid Codd, Martin Everett, Cathryn Kemp, Louise Kenward & Lucinda Wells

Seven artists make seven interventions in one space. Seven disparate multi-disciplinary artists come together to explore narrative structures within their work.

 

Working together, yet distinctly apart, the artists forge connections, engaging in visual and literary dialogue which gently probes the place where fact meets fiction, where lies meet truth, where the psychic space of ‘in between’ and ‘far apart’ collide and collaborate.

 

As storytellers, the artists ask their viewers to fill in the blanks, to enter into a narrative where anything is possible, where the art object itself stands under scrutiny, where the artist as shaman, as teacher, as visionary is explored and renegotiated.

 

Seven ways of perception are contained within a physical and psychological structure which stands as metaphor for the stories themselves, the narrative arc which acts as container for the mutual desire to tell tales.

 

Are the stories true? What is written between the lines? What is implied by the narration and does it matter?

 

Opening Night: Friday 7 October, with two performances by Dance Artist Yumino Seki at 7:30pm and 8:30pm

Presented by Platform 4

 

"Tis safer to be that which we destroy,

Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy."

 

In a land almost afraid to know itself, in a country where unnatural deeds are commonplace, and where the night is filled with a restless ecstasy, Shakespeare's tragedy of ambition and guilt unfolds.

Platform 4's production creates a taut psychodrama that crackles with a wild electricity, brought alive by the sonic experiments of composer and guitarist Bic Hayes and sound designer Jules Bushell.

Characters appear and disappear from the shadows as part of a nightmarish vision, played out under an immense canopy of darkness.

 

Building on the success of their Tempest, this Macbeth employs sparse staging and creates unique atmospheres whilst keeping the play intact, compelling, and fresh.

 

"Platform4's strong visual approach create theatrical rough magic." - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

'Fairy Tales for Fearless Adults' told by Nell Phoenix

 

Tales of the romantic and the forlorn, the comic and the grave; these are the stories told of the 'other' folk who steal in and out of our world, and stamp small imprints in our heads and in our hearts. These are also the stories of the heroes and heroines, shy, sassy, sexy or bewildered, who take a risk and cross the threshold between the known and unknowable!

 

Nell's storytelling work this year includes commissions for the October Gallery, Arts for Human Rights, NTS Radio, WWF and Radley Handbags! Nell works as a full-time teller and is a passionate promoter of storytelling as a contemporary performance art. She is artistic director and host of StoryNight at Torriano and at The Emporium Pudding Club, N. London’s most vibrant storytelling clubs for adults. She also tells in hundreds of schools to thousands of children.

 "Nell tells with wit, humour, intelligence and theatrical skill“ Xanthe Gresham
"That storyteller is awesome” Lorena Munoz-Alonso, cool audience member
“the chilli-chocolate of the storytelling world” Debs Newbold, Globe Teller, EDFSS Creative Associate
“The storyteller is a dream!” Federica Bardelli, NTS Radio
 

Music from Hot Feet

Hailing from the long grass and hilly fields of Stroud in Gloucestershire, Marianne and Jack from Hot Feet draw together an eclectic mix of musical influences from Delta blues, to 60's folk, to Psychedelic, to Gypsy Jazz, creating a unique fusion that has been described as 'elegant and enchanting', 'beautifully haunting' and that they call 'Folk, Blues, Roots'n'Roll'.

Hand & Eye Letterpress started in 1985 with a 8x5 inch Adana and a 10x15 inch Arab treadle platen. The aim then, as now, was to print to the highest standards. The presses were soon replaced, and we now have a FAG proofing press, a Heidelberg platen and a newly refurbished Heidelberg cylinder, machines that are at the peak of the five hundred years of letterpress technology.

 

Last year a monotype Supercaster and computer controlled Monotype composition caster were installed. We are, as far as we know, the only commercial printer in the country able to cast type and print in large formats at high speed.

 

We print anything from invitations and stationery to posters and books. Our workshop is a converted railway arch in the East End of London, where we run a highly popular internship programme.

Nicholas Cleobury conducts a superb cast of Britain's best young singers in some of the most sumptuous music ever written for the stage including the dramatic soprano aria One Fine Day.

A TRANSPORT/New Wolsey Theatre co-production

Supported by the European Cultural Foundation

 

Anton is forced to leave his village and finds himself suspended 16 floors above a city cleaning windows; Malik is sitting on a beach looking across the water to a country where women walk around half naked; Ann has a career and just isn't ready to have a baby; Dialo's learning tabloid English and George and Louise are thrilled to be moving to California. Felix is having a mid-life crisis and falls for a beautiful migrant woman in a nightclub, he doesn't see the cleaner that everyone else sees, but then she said she was a fashion designer. Their chance meeting drives disparate lives towards a terrible moment of reckoning.

 

Following on from Transport's acclaimed revival of David Greig's 1994 play EUROPE at the Barbican, London, INVISIBLE is a funny, moving, highly visual and urgent exploration of 21st Century mobility.

A musical play by Daniel O'Brien with music by Pat Whymark

Directed by Abigail Anderson

Designed by Dora Schweitzer

Lighting by Mark Howland

Movement by Kitty Winter

Presented by Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds

 

Dashing horseman, daring robber, swashbuckling swordsman, adored by every woman, respected by every man.

Or poacher, rapist, thief and murderer, swung from the York gallows in 1739.

What do you want to believe?

A dynamic new version of the life of Dick Turpin, the most famous highwayman of them all.  Drawn from court transcripts, newspaper reports and eye witness accounts this is a real life adventure story from the eighteenth century.  Moving at a rip-roaring pace, the play interweaves fact and fiction, text and song. You'll discover things about the man behind the myth that some wanted buried with him at York.

 

My foot's in the stirrup and catch me who can…

 

Recommended for everyone over the age of 10

 

Press quotes on other Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds productions:

Presented by European Ballet

 

Based on a story by the German writer E T A Hoffmann called Der Sandmann (The Sandman) and published in 1815. The ballet was first performed in 25 May 1870 at the Théâtre Impérial de l´Opéra in Paris.

 

A classical ballet in 3 acts Music by Leo Delibes Choreography by Stanislav Tchassov after Petipa

The ballet interweaves the romance between Swanhilda and Franz with the story of the doll-maker Coppelius, whose greatest desire is to create a doll with a soul. Full of humour and exciting Hungarian dances such as 'Czardas' and 'Mazurka' the ballet has beautiful scenery and handcrafted costumes, and is a total delight and great entertainment for all ages. Early booking is recommended.
