All Roads Lead to Rome Domestic Labour: A Study in Love Poland 3 Iran 2All Roads Lead to Rome
Synopsis:
Chris has lovingly repaired his family Triumph Herald Estate so that he can drive it from his home in Colchester to Rome. Part investigation into his father's account of his time as a Polish soldier in the Italian Campaign and part muse on consumerism, this show brings together car mechanics, classical civilisation and the fetishisation of possessions in a solo performance using old photos, new film and surprising mechanical objects. A feast of razor-sharp observations and bizarre confessions extending beyond the immediate subject matter to grasp at universal truths. Total theatre, Poland 3, Iran 2.

Top of PageDomestic Labour: A Study in Love
Synopsis:
War, bicycles and the withdrawal method. A love story: man and woman, East/West, the mundane and the monumental, the personal and the political, the dust behind the bed and the Iranian baby boom. A love story told through the nitty-gritty of daily life - past girlfriends, marriage, Islamic law and Brigitte Bardot - as a man and his absent wife negotiate the very domestic battle over who does the washing up. Created by award-winning 30 Bird, Domestic Labour is inspired by 1970s feminism and its impact on men. Rich inventive theatricality (WhatsOnstage.com). 30bird.org
