What a fantastic weekend! 🎨🌳

Two of our Swamp Artists headed along to the wonderful Fun in the Park for KBSK CIC, where there was fun around every corner!

They loved getting hands-on in the "Have a Go" Workshop with the amazing Nonny Noo, and there were plenty of smiles thanks to Pirate Ben, who wowed everyone with his incredible stilts and balloon creations. ☠️🎈

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined in the activities, and helped make it such a fun-filled community event. We had a wonderful time and can't wait for the next one!

The Scarlet Pimpernel
– Ha Hum Ah Productions
20 June – 7.30pm

France is burning, the guillotine is busy, and Marguerite Blakeney is stuck in England with an idiot husband, a man so relentlessly foolish, it’s starting to feel strategic…

However when ruthless revolutionary Chauvelin – head of the French Republic’s Committee of Public Safety, with a very loose grip on the word “safety” – threatens her brother’s life, Marguerite is dragged into a world of spies, secrets and very sharp blades. Will she betray the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, or let her brother face the guillotine. What do you do when every choice costs you the person you love?

Three actors tear through revolutions, opera houses, seedy Dover pubs and glittering ballrooms using nothing but a mountain of wigs and sheer nerve. Expect quick-fire gags, high-octane multi-rolling in this sharply modern, joyously theatrical retelling of Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic.

CHYAN DOME PRESENTS

"Split Ends"
17 June – 7.30pm

Critically acclaimed tragi-comedy, SPLIT ENDS follows the story of a woman who falls in love with a Vacuum. Using physical theatre, puppetry and multi-media, this ‘Sarah Kane Rave’ explores control and abusive power disguised as love.

In an exploration of coercive control, love and the addiction to people who hurt us, this five star production which is “as raw as they come…sheer inventiveness” (LouReviews) attempts to understand when we are meticulously in control or incredibly out of it.

Age restrictions: 18+

“THE MOST POWERFUL PIECE OF PERFORMANCE ART I’VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF EXPERIENCING.”
