Ashes, The

Synopsis:
It's the tale of one of the most notorious episodes in sporting history. Smarting from being humiliated in the Ashes, the England team devised a new line of bowling for the 1932 series: bodyline. Nottinghamshire miner Harold Larwood was instructed to bowl a different way to get Aussie batsman Donald Bradman out - but the controversy spiralled to strain relations between the two countries.

Beginning, The

Synopsis:
A Midsummer Nights Dream meets Serge Gainsbourgs Histoire de Melody Nelson in this mesmerising reflection on what it means to begin. the Beginning takes place between a rehearsal and a performance, dreaming and being awake, and asks how we might begin a career, a relationship or a life. Because he has promised never to perform again, award winning live artist Michael Pinchbeck, has invited Nicki Hobday and Ollie Smith to join him in remembering how it feels to perform for the first time.

Post Show Party Show, The

Synopsis:
Award-winning writer Michael Pinchbeck and his real parents recreate the story of how they met at a post show party for an amateur production of the Sound of Music. His Dad played a Nazi, his Mum a nun. Mixing text from the past and present, with movement to the real-time soundtrack of the Sound of Music, this poignant re-enactment asks what is present and what is absent, what is professional and what is amateur.

White Album, The

Synopsis:
Two discs. Four sides. Thirty tracks. No sleeve title. A revolution on a record player. the Whit Album is the soundtrack to a life - a love affair etched in vinyl. But life isn't like a record: Miles can't lift back the needle and start over again. As Miles trips back through his relationship with Julia, he doubles as our guide to the making of a legendary album. . .and to the horrific events it inadvertently inspired. because this is music to die for.
