 Oogly Es Sin         Surfing Tommies         Tin Violin, The

Oogly Es Sin

Synopsis:
By the time, antony Payne reached his twenty-first birthday he already stood seven foot two inches, and kept on growing! Having both the brains and the brawn, he soon became the bodyguard of the legendary Sir Beville Grenville, yet for all his size and bulk, he was always a gentle giant, nimble and dextrous to the letter. Every day, this Falstaff of the West has to question how it feels to be huge, in a world too set on being small. In an era of internal conflict within the island of Britain, this story of the Civil War not only asks questions about identity and image, but also asks what we mean by ?normality' and ?difference'.

Tin Violin, The

Synopsis:
The life of the violinist and composer Joseph Emidy is one of the most extraordinary of modern times. Born in Guinea, West africa in 1775, at the height of European colonialism, Emidy was first captured as a slave by the Portuguese, then kidnapped by the British Navy, serving as a fiddler on The Indefatigable during the French wars. Landing at Falmouth, Cornwall and being presented with a magical tin violin made by an illiterate miner, Emidy became a musical genius of the early nineteenth century. Boy Josh finds himself embarking on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. His epic adventure demands a resistance against the most savage of oppression before he finds freedom and love in music and song. On the way he meets mad sailors, gabbling Cornish fools, crazy fishermen and a woman who softly plays the strings of his heart. Funny, tragic and compelling, the play offers an extraordinary parable of humanity that raises questions about identity, belonging and place, and also turns upside- down preconceived ideas about West Britain and the continent of africa. Rich with dialect, dance and decadence, this play will make you jig your heart out...
