Exquisite Corpse, The

Synopsis:
Most of us have played a game of consequences at some stage. You draw a head, fold the paper over then pass it on to someone who draws the torso who then folds it over and passes it to someone who draws the legs etc, revealing a rather unusual creation at the end. the surrealists called this game Le Corps exquisite which is the inspiration for true/fiction theatre Company's the exquisite Corpse. However rather than a piece of paper, in this instance it is scenes written by various writers which are performed in a different order each night.

Gulliver

Synopsis:
Inspired by Jonathan Swift's fantastical satire, this biting new play explores the relationship between the mysterious Dr Gulliver and his tormented creator Swift, as they travel through the writer's unruly imagination and try not to lose their way. Capturing the humour and darkness of a man struggling to survive in an absurd world, this classic story is as fresh and relevant as ever!
