Eloise and the Curse of the Golden Whisk

Synopsis:
The year is 1944. In the depths of a dusty larder in the bombed ruins of an Exeter restaurant, Eloise finds a beautiful, golden whisk. But when she clutches the shimmering relic, she unleashes an ancient curse. The only way to free herself is to cook the tastiest dish in the world. With time running out, Eloise scurries into the broken citys underworld, undertaking extraordinary feats to gather the ingredients and discover the recipe. But with a rabble of greedy gangsters also chasing the whisk, will she succeed in evading its curse? Served up with lashings of laughs, thrills and scrumptious live music, Eloise and the Curse of the Golden Whisk is a swashbuckling, culinary adventure of hope, magic and stepping up to the plate.

Riot

Synopsis:
"I saw a woman screaming slightly louder than the rest. She lifted her child into the air, trying to pass it to a group of yellow Crusaders. It was like Vietnam without the napalm". 10th February 2005. At the stroke of midnight the British public punch, kick, strangle and eventually stab their way to £45 sofas and £35 bed frames at the opening of their favourite Swedish furniture store. Riot is an epic tale of violence, greed, and cheap sofas, the Wardrobe Ensemble ask what pushes civilised people to RIOT out of want; not of need. With frenetic, eclectic force the Wardrobe Ensemble build a flat-pack universe that is as funny as it is scary, and as bizarre as it is familiar. A company of 11 tear up the instructions and disregard the diagrams to construct a musical tragedy of a thoroughly modern kind.
