    Labyrinth

    by  LLL Productions

    “Today I killed a man.” These first words plunge us into a narrative that hovers ambiguously between murder and vivid fantasy as it depicts a woman on the edge, desperate to break free of the entanglements of a love affair that’s turned toxic. Has she actually killed her lover? Is this a violent reaction to coercive control? We can’t be sure.

    The original Portuguese version by Moncho Rodriguez (Labirinto de Amor e Morte) was toured in Brazil and Portugal by actress Marta Carvalho. This new English version, by writer Mark C. Hewitt, captures the obsessive visceral nature of the Portuguese original and adds, perhaps, a subtle layer of dark humour.

    “Labyrinth is full-on physical theatre in which Carvalho takes us on a woman’s rollercoaster journey through a myriad of emotions… It resonates on many levels, bringing to mind elements of domestic abuse such as control, coercion, and physical violence…” (Hastings Independent Press)

    “Immersive, bold, challenging…” (audience feedback)

    Macbeth: The Musical

    6:00 pm-7:00 pm
    02/06/2022-05/06/2022

    Is this a real knife? Is this just fantasy?”

    Enjoy Shakespeare’s spooky tragedy like never before, as six actors deploy wittily rewritten pop classics, uproariously silly comedy, and an array of highly questionable props to recount the rise and fall of Scotland’s most murdery king! Expect queens and witches, Queen and B*Witched, ABBA, stabbers, and much more besides.

    With gloriously repurposed numbers from Broadway, the charts, and the Golden Oldies, Macbeth: The Musical is a hilarious ride, suitable for buffs and beginners, wee ones and wizened ones, and Scots and Sassenachs alike!

    No bagpipes were harmed in the making of this musical.

    Contains mild comic violence.

     

    Audience reviews:

    “Nearly wet myself laughing!”

    “ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!”

    “The Bard would be proud!”

    Damien

    by Aldyth Morris

    The story of Father Damien de Veuster, the leper priest of Molokai and patron saint of outcasts.

    In this passionate, one man show, actor Daniel Finlay channels the powerful stories of the challenges that Damien experienced while serving the community of exiled lepers on a remote Hawaiian island in the 1870’s and 80’s, until his own life was taken by the affliction on April 15, 1889.

    He was born Joseph and received the name Damien in religious life. In 1864, he was sent to Honolulu, Hawaii, where he was ordained. For the next nine years he worked in missions on the big island, Hawaii. In 1873, he went to the leper colony on Molokai, after volunteering for the assignment. Damien cared for lepers of all ages, but was particularly concerned about the children segregated in the colony. He announced he was a leper in 1885 and continued to build hospitals, clinics, and churches, and some six hundred coffins. He died on April 15, on Molokai…. Pope John Paul II declared him beatified on June 4, 1995. Father Damien was canonised in a ceremony at the Vatican on October 11, 2009.

    “In our own time as millions around the world suffer from disease, especially the pandemic of HIV/AIDS, we should draw on the example of Fr. Damien’s resolve in answering the urgent call to heal and care for the sick.”
