 Butler, The         Hanussen - The Palace Of Burlesque( Formerly Berlin Burlesque)         Stuck Up The Alley

Butler, The

Synopsis:
The production uses drama, dance, music and circus elements to create a visually stunning and socially challenging feast presided over by the austere and remote Butler. Visually there's much to entertain as students' perform on the German wheel, trapeze, hand-balance on chairs, straps, tissue, acrobatics, slapstick, Diablo, hat manipulation, bicycles and unicycle, tight-wire and aerial hoop. More than just a spectacle of circus tricks, 'The Butler' is a multi-media exploration of social behaviour and conventions placed on individuals within Western cultures, says Director Mike Friend.

Stuck Up The Alley

Synopsis:
Based on a true incident in which a Lyttleton barman was accidentally locked in an alley and left there all night, Bennett uses it as a vehicle to reflect, humorously, about loneliness and solitary confinement. after all, remarks Tom - the actor and the character - what do we know about being alone; 'Who sees us when we are alone? No-one.'
