Back and Forth

Synopsis:
What happens if you end up stuck on a bridge over the river border between two unidentified countries, unable to enter either because of a loophole in the law? Horvath's play is a comedy of thwarted love and mistaken identity, involving everyone from local drug smugglers to heads of state, with a dark satirical edge which sharply calls into question simplistic attitudes to immigration.

Kassandra asks the playful questions about language's relationship to the body, writing a history of the physical from Greek tragedy to contemporary poetry and theory. Cambridge's finest performers play word games with their bodies to explore what happens when language gets physical.

Respect

Respect
Four teenagers take a day trip to Cologne. By the end of the night, their world has been turned upside down. One is dead, two are in police custody, and the fourth is recovering from stab wounds. And it is the job of Kobert, a police psychologist, to find out what has happened. Lutz Hubner's hard-hitting play about sexual attitudes, provocation and intercultural confusion, is based on the true story of an honour killing. Originally produced in Germany in 2005 this play was subsequently banned in 2006. With the ban now lifted this new production marks the UK premiere.

World Factory

Synopsis:
Made in China. Sold in Britain. Worn by you. From the factory floor to the catwalk, from Shanghai to London, World Factory weaves together stories of people connected by the global textile industry. Riffing on our awareness of mass production and vulture capitalism, Zoe Svendsen and Simon Daw invite you to play a provocative game. Which card will you draw? Will you be an ethical factory owner? Or will profits always come first? In the rag trade, can anyone ever really win? Featuring stunning video and a powerful score, World Factory is a thought-provoking investigation of fast fashion. This show was researched by having a shirt manufactured in a Chinese factory.
