Bloom

Synopsis:
Bloom is set over four periods in the last 100 years with the time periods and the events intertwined. Gossiping gnomes, changing seasons, a growing garden and the history of a family all mesh together. Beginning in 1912 with the design of a beautiful new garden for the manor, the garden comes complete with a garden gnomes. Then in 1945 during the second world war, the garden is taken over for a Dig for Victory campaign and is primarily used for growing vegetables, tended by German and Italian prisoners of war. The Greenham Common protests feature in 1982 before we find the contemporary garden now owned by Emily who has inherited the garden from her mother Rosa. When she arrives she finds an older man called Os there. He is a rather strange guerrilla gardener who talks to the garden gnomes. Bloom finishes with a song - a version of "In an English Country Garden".

Orpheus

Synopsis:
An examination of the relationship between Orpheus and the gods Apollo and Dionysus and the creation of the many mysteries surrounding it. The performance will show how the ancient myth is still relevant to contemporary issues. It's a timeless story about love, death and beauty. It's about the eternal human desire to understand the essence of life and to go beyond its limits.

Polychronicon, The

Synopsis:
Where are the five missing pages of the Polychronicon? Why did the ravens return and next in Chester in the 1990's for the first time since the 15th century? Skeletons in the bottom of wells, ghostly monks walking the city walls and other fragments of the past help to illuminate a child's search for the future. What is hidden beneath the earth, hangs in the air, burns in the fire and flows from the waters of the Dee? The past and the present collide.
