Ballad of the Burning Star

Synopsis:
Multi award-winning theatre Ad Infinitum (Translunar Paradise, Odyssey) presents an explosive tale. Armed with music, killer heels and a lethal troop of divas, an enraged Israeli executes a story of victimhood, persecution, aggression and love. With shrapnel, sharp voices and moves as smooth as an oiled tank chain, this cabaret troop invites you on a journey into the core of a conflicted Jewish state. Praise for previous work: 'Ad Infinitum have moved to the front of the pack' (Guardian). 'superb' ***** (Scotsman). 'Admirable' **** (Times). 'An extraordinary performance' (Observer).

Big Smoke, The

Synopsis:
the Big Smoke is an award-winning one-woman show inspired by the work and lives of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. In a courageous physical performance with a completely original text and score sung a cappella, Amy Nostbakken tells the story of a brilliant young artist from Toronto given the opportunity of a lifetime: a solo exhibit at Londons Tate Modern Art Gallery. Nathalie has everything to live for: good looks, talent, a loving family, amazing scholarships and a career just waiting to take off. But just as she is rising to the heights of her potential, she begins to spiral down into the depths of depression. Through swanky gallery parties and grim pub toilets, ex-boyfriends and meddling aunts, mauled dogs and crashed cyclists, her descent into madness unfolds. the Big Smoke is a stunning experience that walks the fine line between sanity and psychosis.
