Macbeth
Macbeth: Production Image
William Shakespeare
Wed 2nd February to Sat 5th February at 8:00pm

Witches, ambition, murder and madness. Shakespeare's tale of one man's descent into madness and another's quest for revenge truly gives meaning to the word 'tragedy'. As the stories of the houses Macbeth and Macduff unfold, are the witches meddling or merely watching as one man's freewill shows the darker side of human nature?

Many years ago whilst up a hill with the Kate Bush Fan Club eating magic fudge, Zoe stumbled upon the secret of inner peace. Just live life and be happy. She’s come to the conclusion that life is too short and she’s going to try to be happy, although the word “try” makes it sound like there’s effort involved and she’s not pleased about that. Book now!

As seen on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1) Mock The Week (BBC2) and The Paul O’Grady Show (ITV) and heard on The Vote Now Show (Radio 4), 4 Stands Up (Radio 4) and Clive Anderson’s Chatroom (Radio 2).

She Opened the Door’ ( The Wife, The Mother, The Other Woman, and The Ruined Maid)
‘…A play almost certain to become a theatrical treasure in the future.’
(Dorset Echo August 2010) 
Award winning AsOne Theatre’s GRIPPING new play written and directed by Peter J Cooper takes a fresh look at the women surrounding Thomas Hardy at the height of his celebrity in 1895 with the author’s first wife Emma at its heart. Early autumn in the Hardy’s Max Gate garden, Dorchester; Hardy’s possessive mother comes to visit for the first time; The Other Woman arrives on the new fangled bicycle; add a feisty (ruined) maid, some skeletons and ghosts to Emma’s already tangled nerves and you have a powder keg ready to blow! With music by renowned composer Roderick Skeaping, AsOne promises a clever combination of exciting performance, beautiful costume and stunning projected-imagery.

when i was ten i could fly: Production Image Performed by Eamonn Fleming Directed by Andy Burden
Fri 18th February at 8:00pm

What if the things you believe in as a kid are really true? When I was ten I could fly is a funny and sentimental journey through everything from Action Man and Séances to Debbie Harry and the Hubble Space Telescope. Using comedy, confessions and a bit of acting, writer and performer Eamonn Fleming (Hull Truck) and co-writer/Director Andy Burden (Tobacco Factory) bring you an hour of rambling insight and pertinent nonsense

Two

Wed 23rd February to Sat 26th February at 8:00pm

A sharp and touching slice of English life set in a pub owned by a savagely bickering husband and wife, Two is a play that skilfully combines pathos and humour. This wonderfully observed character study of a traditional pub, its eccentric customers and its warring landlord and wife won the Manchester Evening News Best New Play award in 1989. With only two actors playing all fourteen roles, Playing Up’s production won rave reviews when it was first performed in 2007.

This emotionally charged piece was brilliantly acted... a play that left me emotionally drained. Bath Chronicle
Tickets: £9.00, Concessions £7.00 Community
