| Synopsis: | Imagine living in a very differnet age from our own gas-guzzlinfg era. Perhaps a time after some eco-catastrophe? How could someone explain to you what the West Midlands was like from the late late 1950s onwards? Stan's Cafe has a go with this strange, compelling show, powered by the stories of those who have lived in Birmingham and worked in the motor industry - and also by cycling (which is generated by the cast's often exaustive peddling. - Lyn Gardner, Guardian. | |||||

| Synopsis: | This is described on this Birmingham-based company's website as "the latest in a series of 'not quite theatre' shows that have brought Stan's Café international acclaim". Not quite theatre? I agree, for this is not an interaction between actor and performer but a piece where the audience member becomes performer, following a 'script' laid out as vinyl images placed on floor, walls and other surfaces to lead them on a journey theoretically enabling them to act out the incidents of the story. The concept is described as inspired by teach-yourself-to-dance floor mats and presumably you are intended to place your feet - and perhaps hands too - directly on the positions marked out by vinyl stickers. - Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide | |||||
