First in ThreeNorthern Stage
L.Golden, E.Johnson, A.Middleton, E.Venaki An eerie atmospheric movement piece in the style of Artaud, where the theme (drug addiction) works only as a stimuli to reach the deep subconscious levels of existence. Reflecting the human insecurities and weaknesses it presents the vicious circle that is created when we try to overcome them through illusionary ways till we are eventually dragged to destruction. Fury - Adapted by Elizabeth Duffy Fury is a light, entertaining, one-man play about life and love in today’s world. It is his kaleidoscopic perspective of the world that he shares with us that constantly changes and can never be predicted. With the premise that his show has left him, as one lover might leave another, he draws parallels between various relationships to be found in life and explores the passive/active status of those involved, particularly the audience. Performed by Mark Calvert and directed by Erica Whyman Stephen Frizzle A short preview of an upcoming play. The Devil and Daniel Foster is a dark comedy about a man ending up in Hell’s Waiting Room, and finding himself having to find out who killed him and what afterlife he deserves.

Matthew has performed close up magic all over the world including the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood and in this show, he invites the audience to watch his hands and scrutinize every move through the use of a camera and big screen. Come along and find out if the hand is really quicker than the eye.
