Cape Wrath

Synopsis:
Heartfelt, moving, compellingly intimate, Cape Wrath will take audiences on a journey to the edge of the island, and wonders what we think about when we think about our lives. In September 2011, Third Angel's Alexander Kelly travelled from his home, roughly in middle of England, to Cape Wrath, the most North-westerly point of the British mainland. He took public transport the whole way there and back: coach, bus, ferry, minibus, train. In September 1988, Alex's granddad had undertaken the same journey, also travelling by public transport and hitch-hiking. He got to Cape Wrath, sat and looked at the sea and thought about his life. then he went home. In this presentation Alex will tell the story of retracing his grandfather's footsteps, family histories, family myths and the longest bus route in Britain.

Notes:
part of Forest Fringe curated by Chris Thorpe. he work is devised, directed and designed by the two Artistic Directors and founders, Rachael Walton and Alexander Kelly, in collaboration with an expanding group of associated artists from a range of disciplines

Synopsis:
Rachel always wanted to be a star. Rachel wanted to run away with the circus. And have her name in lights. And escape from this house. And she dreamed of the future. But people can be ugly. The closer they are the uglier they get. And theres nobody closer to yourself than yourself. Life is a juggling act. Love is a high-wire. Try to do both at once and its a long way down.

Presumption

Synopsis:
Presumption captures a young couple at the moment when they realise that their relationship has become comfortable rather than passionate, habitual rather than Dramatic. Against the backdrop of an insignificant quarrel, they examine their relationship and their willingness or not to accept its limitations. Third Angel's work is always visually interesting and here the mental exertions are mirrored by the performers' physical efforts as they struggle on and off the stage with an ever-increasing collection of domestic detritus. the piece is likely to resonate with young adult audiences.
