SUMMARY:Albatross
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Menagerie Theatre Company \nYour generation.  You owe us a future.  A chance at one at least \nDo family ties make us act with more care or blind us to the facts? Albatross takes us to the very boundaries of love in the age of climate catastrophe. \nAlice\, a glaciologist\, returns from Antarctica – back home to her daughter Alba and her mother Eve.  There’s been a flood\, a new romance and now a strange gift.  It’s 1.30am.  Alba sleeps.  Eve has never been more awake.  And Alice?  Maybe those cracks she discovered in the Antarctic ice have followed her home.  And maybe they’re calling her to go back… \nAward-winning Martha Loader is one of the finest young playwrights working in Britain today.  Albatross asks us what we’re willing to sacrifice for a better future.  It is explosive\, tender and often hilarious.  And it reveals the human heart to be more vulnerable than we hope but stronger than we believe.

SUMMARY:Simon Yates of Touching the Void
DESCRIPTION:My Mountain Life\nA fascinating and humorous evening\, acclaimed by both regular theatre patrons and outdoor enthusiasts alike! \nOn the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985\, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner\, Joe Simpson\, dangling on the rope 50 metres below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic of survival that followed and with the publication of the book ‘Touching The Void’\, later film and stage play\, both climbers became household names. \nIt was an experience that could have put many off the sport of mountaineering – but not Simon. Over 35 years later\, he is still a very active exploratory climber and guide\, making several expeditions to the mountains each year. From the Arctic to the Antarctic\, Alaska to Central Asia there is hardly a significant range that he has not visited. \nCome along and witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama\, excitement and beauty of modern\, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit\, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs.

SUMMARY:Tony Stockwell: Psychic Medium
DESCRIPTION:Remarkably compelling\, amazingly detailed\, and always humorous The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic\, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy\, Tony Stockwell has a long-established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums. Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names\, dates\, and locations and all delivered with emotion\, sensitivity\, and empathy. The evening may include psychometry\, photograph readings and psychic prediction. \nRecent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit\, showmanship\, and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important\, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace\, comfort\, and purpose. We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

SUMMARY:The Fureys Farewell Tour
DESCRIPTION:Legends of Irish music & song\, The FUREYS renowned for their hit songs ‘I will love you’\, ‘When you were sweet 16’\, ‘The Green fields of France’\, ‘The old man’\, ‘Red rose café’\, ‘From Clare to here’\, ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’\, ‘Leaving Nancy’\, ‘Steal away’ etc take to our stage for the final time as part of their FAREWELL TOUR. \nThe oldest of the brothers\, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. \nIn 1972\, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter\, the late John Peel made it his single of the year. \nThey are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen\, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981. \nEddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents’ collection”. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey. \nTheir emotive songs stir many emotions\, tears and laughter\, sadness and joy.

SUMMARY:Pleasure Incorporated
DESCRIPTION:Pleasure Incorporated is a lyrical\, funny\, and surreal one-woman play set inside the cubicles and corridors of an imagined corporation. Through the language of HR policies\, performance reviews and workplace rituals\, the show explores familiar concepts of labour\, autonomy and survival in a hostile world. \nWritten and performed by accomplished writer\, performer and theatre-maker Jemima Foxtrot\,  Pleasure Incorporated  draws on Jemima’s  lived experience of escorting in Berlin and uses corporate satire to examine how bodies\, labour and power are managed\, regulated and sold. \nBlending live performance with video art and an original soundtrack \, Pleasure Incorporated shifts between humour and tenderness\, inviting audiences to question what we accept as “normal” work. It asks what autonomy really looks like when choice is shaped by capitalism\, gender and survival \nPleasure Incorporated is recommended for ages 16+.\nContent note:  mentions of sex work and child sexual abuse.
