Delilah Vile is Good

Synopsis:
Delilah Vile is good. It's just that she sometimes does bad. Ever since she has been able to think for herself, Delilah has been thinking of others. Enter the weird world of this insanely saintly woman as she endeavours to help everyone from ugly school kids to the starving of Africa. But whatever you do, remember to enjoy this most moral of monologues because she'd be devasted if you didn't ... Delilah Vile is Good is a darkly comic one-woman show with the very best of intentions.

Early Days (of a better nation)

Synopsis:
The war is over and the nation lies in ruins. You and your fellow survivors must build the beginnings of a new country. What are the rules you're going to live by? And can you avoid the mistakes of the past?

Notes:
devised by Tom Bowtell and Annette Mees. A piece of interactive theatre for a playing audience, Early Days (of a better nation) explores the possibilities of nationhood and democracy, drawing inspiration from the 2011 England riots, Arab Spring, Iceland's crowd-sourced constitution and the rise (and fall) of Occupy. Early Days is presented as a part of Parliament Week 2014, a programme of events that connect people across the UK with Parliament and democracy

Mind Out

Synopsis:
the central conceit of Mind Out, is that each of the five cast members undergoes a complete separation of mind and body onstage. the actions and expressions of thought or feeling of one actor are under the control of another, whose will is exerted through verbal instructions. an example: a directs B to sip from a mug of tea. but it is B who tells C to swallow. This basic premise acquires an increasingly dotty domino effect as the show progresses. Roles shift in terms of who has power over whom, instructions lengthen and passages of cartoon violence ensue. there is no actual plot or characters, only commands and imposed motivations that are either met with co-operation or resistance. the result is an elaborate, 70-minute theatrical game that pushes the notion of contradictory behaviour and cause-and-effect social manipulation to sometimes enjoyably ridiculous extremes.
