Darkness Falls

Darkness Falls
Mesmerising double-bill of stories from the beyond. Hugely entertaining the genuinely scary, you'll be transfixed. the wind howls outside a lonely cottage as an old friend tells of his travels in the east. Why is he so uneasy - does the strange charm he carries really hold magical powers? adapted from W W Jacobs' 'the Monkey's Paw', this classic ghost story is followed by a real teaser - 'the Dark' - a retired Cambridge Don gathers his former students on a stormy New Year's eve. But sinister purpose lurks behind the smiling facade

Get Carter

Synopsis:
London gangster Jack Carter returns to his northern hometown to investigate his brother s death. He cuts a swathe through the local low life, and soon exposes a network of corruption. Hell-bent on revenge, will Jack find his man before his number s up? Red Shift presents the first ever stage adaptation of Ted Lewis's Seventies story which launched the cult movie, Get Carter. A hard-boiled, quintessentially British thriller offering an enthralling and compulsive take on post-summer-of-love Britain - robust and absorbing, this is theatre at its best.

Nicholas Nickleby

Nicholas Nickleby
Red Shift's production of Nicholas Nickleby breathes fresh life into Dickens' classic story. Retaining the wit and wisdom of the novel, the production is by turns hilarious and deeply moving. It relocates Nicholas's adventures to Britain in the 1950s; the story-tellers are a spectral ensemble - ghosts of Ralph and Squeers' past victims. This framing gives the story a Dramatic drive and a sharp contemporary resonance and rediscovers the punch that made Dickens famous in his time as a serious social commentator as well as a master storyteller. Nicholas Nickleby is newly employed as a teacher at Dotheboys' Hall in Yorkshire thanks to his manipulative and avaricious uncle Ralph, a businessman. there he witnesses the cruel treatment of boys at the hands of despotic headmaster Wackford Squeers and his wife. In coming to the defence of one boy, Smike, Nicholas assaults Squeers. Thinking he has killed him, he escapes with Smike to London and on to Portsmouth where the pair join the Crummles theatre Company. Ralph uses Nicholas's sister Kate as bait further to ensnare a young and wealthy lord who is already in his debt. Learning of the abuse Kate has been exposed to, Nicholas goes to London and her aid, but even greater dangers lurk around the corner. With flexible casting requirements, this stunning adaptation of Charles Dickens's third novel toured the UK in 2001 and 2002 in a production by Red Shift theatre Company.

Railway Siding, The

Railway Siding, The
Out of work, out of luck, and out of favour with his wife, architect Jack Webb retreats to a cottage in Wales to concentrate on a new design project for a friend's business. With the deadline imminent, Jack takes the overnight train from Haverfordwest back to London to deliver his drawings. On the otherwise deserted train Jack encounters first an unusually friendly guard and then an aloof and otherworldly woman, Hope Cairns, who has just abandoned a planned rendezvous in Milford with a lover, also named Jack. When Hope suddenly disappears, and the guard reveals her story, we discover that Jack's journey is not all it seems. the Railway Siding is a stunningly crafted, highly atmosphEric play in one act.

Third Man, The

Synopsis:
1948, Vienna - once the jewel of the european crown - reels from invasion, reduced to a hellish dreamscape of ruins. the city is divided into sectors, each controlled by an allied power - england, America, France and Russia - and there isn't a Nazi to be found. the war may be over but what follows doesn't feel like peace. In the chaos of liberation, black-marketeers run rings around the occupying forces. Disappearances and murders are commonplace as refugees and members of the old order jockey for position, reinventing themselves with false identities. Naive pulp novelist Rollo Martins arrives in Vienna to meet up with his old school-friend Dr Harry Lime, only to learn that he has been killed in a car accident. as he tries to unravel events around his friend's death, Martins is sucked into a world of corruption where racketeers play god as they traffic in essential drugs and medical supplies. Martins follows a macabre trail of intrigue, violence, and murder relentlessly pursuing the shadowy presence of 'the third man'.

Vertigo

Synopsis:
For the final instalment in its trilogy of shows based on the original sources that inspired landmark films (the previous two being 'the Third Man' and 'Get Carter') Red Shift has turned to the classic French crime novel behind Hitchcock's iconic psychological thriller. Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac's 'D'entre les Morts' (1954) juxtaposes the occupation of France by the Nazis with the story of the possession of a man's mind by the idea that the woman he loved has been reincarnated. In Jonathan Holloway's elegant stage adaptation, the tale unfolds as part of a lecture given by French psychiatrist Dr Jacques Ballard. Ballard introduces this case study of 'personal psychosis' before whisking us off in imagination to the sanatorium where his patient Roger Flavieres has taken refuge. there he gradually begins to re-enact with Flavieres the events that have caused his mental dissolution. as they talk, the source of his madness, the appropriately named Madeleine, rises spectrally from a closed. coffinlike bath. It's a splendid coup de theatre, evocatively accompanied by Jon Nicholls' haunting widescreen music.
