BSL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE

Adam and Dik are men. But they don’t feel as if they fit any macho stereotype that society seems to offer.

Using potato crisps, puppets, dead bodies and action men they take us into the beating heart of the modern male and attempt to answer the burning question: what maketh a man? Nature or nurture? Mind or body? Cheese ‘n’ Onion or Prawn Cocktail?

Big Boys Don’t Cry, the new show from the makers of Coulrophobia (LIMF2020) described by Total Theatre as an “endlessly watchable, sublimely entertaining double act,” is an emotional and comic story about manhood.

“A fabulous and totally mad adventure” Plays to See (on Coulrophobia)

Find laughter, tears, love and even more love in a personal and honest show that looks inside the dark bag of a real man’s story in a euphoric explosion of colour, dance, clowns and puppets.

“Two performers at the peak of their clowning powers” The Wee Review (on Coulrophobia)

Manly to a fault.

BSL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE

Don't miss the first solo show from Jean-Daniel Broussé, well known internationally as one half of the hugely successful Nikki & JD acro duo. 

JD was born to inherit the French bakery run by four generations of his family. Instead, he studied history and literature, then ‘ran away to join the circus’, training at London’s National Centre for Circus Arts. He has performed with top UK contemporary circus groups including Barely Methodical Troupe and Ellie Dubois’ Superfan, and with Nikki Rummer in the multi award-winning Knot.

In his first solo show JD travels acrobatically through a universe of bread-making, physical heroics and growing up queer in strait-laced provincial France. His collaborator and director is Ursula Martinez, the writer and performer of whom The Daily Telegraph predicted ‘in a few years’ time will be formally adopted as a national treasure’. 

Duration: 55mins (no interval)

Age Recommendation: 14+ (contains nudity)

BSL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE.

Make all your Christmas wishes come true with a trip to the Mercury’s magical pantomime, Aladdin!

Journey with us to distant shores where the penniless Aladdin dreams of winning the heart of the rebellious Princess Jasmine.

When he is tempted by an evil sorcerer with the promise of untold riches, our young hero finds himself trapped in the Cave of Wonders with nothing but his wits and a battered old lamp. Little does he know that it’s contents will change his life for ever.

Will Aladdin defeat the wicked sorcerer? Will the Princess Jasmine ever notice him? And will the Genie of the Lamp make all of his wishes come true?

You’ll be thrilled to hear our Great British Pantomime award-winning ugly sisters, Antony Stuart-Hicks and Dale Superville(Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White) will be unleashed on Colchester once again, and after a year off they’re chomping at the bit to release even more panto madness on unsuspecting audiences!

So hop aboard your magic carpet and join us for a hilarious, fun-packed adventure full of song, dance and all the usual Mercury magical mayhem!

About this Event

Artist Bio

Jess (They/Them) is a trans / non-binary, multi-disciplinary clown and political actor. They have studied theatre in the U.S, France and the UK. Working professionally in the UK for the past 4 years, most of the roles Jess has performed and auditioned for have been to play cisgender women. Although grateful for the few trans / non-binary roles they have auditioned for, these have all been written by white, cisgender men and the audition populated by cisgender people.

Through experiences of being tokenized, being asked for emotional labour and to seemingly speak on behalf of the Trans* community, Jess has found ways to create more meaningful dialogues with industry professionals, including addressing issues of race and disability.

In this session, Jess will be reflecting on the duality of being oppressed whilst having privilege, sharing ideas of reducing harm and dismantling racist, ableist and transphobic practices within the industry, and how to hold our personal and artistic selves accountable for our work.

Through a non-violent practice, they are determined to examine the industry and institutions they have benefited from. Jess wants to have the conversations that people may avoid in auditions and in rehearsal rooms whilst encouraging curiosity and critical thinking.

Something To Aim For present

Le Gateau Chocolat’s

PANDORA

Commissioned by The Lowry for WEEK 53 and the Lawrence Batley Theatre

There is a box.

You have no idea what it might contain and whether or not you will it to, the only certainty is that it will open.

What mysteries abound? What contaminants, what affliction, what trauma? What might we mortals do with this coil, who are we forced to become?

Part song cycle, part theatre, international icon of stage and song Le Gateau Chocolat has been brewing something daring, something delicious, something dark, a sensory feast: ‘PANDORA’.

Le Gateau Chocolat is a one-man musical phenomena complete with larger than-life vocal talent. For ‘PANDORA’ he is joined live onstage by the Manchester Camerata.

About Le Gateau Chocolat

Le Gateau Chocolat’s work spans drag, cabaret, opera, musical theatre, children’s theatre and live art. Previous works include ‘Le Gateau Chocolat’ (2011), ‘I [Heart] Chocolat’ (2012), ‘In Drag’ (2013 Royal Festival Hall commission), ‘BLACK’ (2014 Homotopia commission), his children’s show ‘Duckie’ (2016) and most recently ‘ICONS’ (2018).

As a technically-gifted and celebrated baritone, he has performed outside of his own work at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican Centre, Sydney Opera House, and as part of the Olivier-winning La Clique/La Soiree.

He has performed as Feste in ‘Twelfth Night’ at Shakespeare’s Globe (2017), in ‘Effigies of Wickedness – Songs banned by the Nazis’ (2018), as part of Taylor Mac’s ‘A 24-Decade History of Popular Music: The First Act’ at London’s Barbican Theatre (2019) and the guest role of Daddy Brubeck for the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Sweet Charity (2019). Most recently he has been cast in Wagner’s ‘Tannhauser’ which opened the 108th Bayreuth Festival in 2019.

Frantic Assembly are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a brand new production, I THINK WE ARE ALONE by Sally Abbott, co-directed by Kathy Burke and Scott Graham.

Two sisters are estranged and bicker over text. Their brittle and aggressive language is pushing them further apart when what they really want is to meet, clear the air and talk about the events that happened when they were young girls that haunt them still.

Josie is not allowing grief to get in the way. All of her focus is on what is best for her son, Manny. She desperately wants him to fly but can she let him go?

There is a person-shaped hole in Graham’s heart and it's driving him to some dark places. When a stranger returns an act of kindness both find themselves opening up and connecting in a way that might just bring a bit of light in. There is beauty in this. This was meant to happen! 

I THINK WE ARE ALONE is a bitter sweet and funny take on our ache to connect with those voices we need to hear again, those arms we need to feel around us and those faces we need to see again. It is about letting go and holding on to what we love the most.

I THINK WE ARE ALONE is a delicate and uplifting play about our fragility, resilience and our need for love and forgiveness.

A Frantic Assembly and Theatre Royal Plymouth Production, co-produced with Curve, Leicester

Lisa and Rachael want to make a show, but there’s a problem: they don’t have any ideas.

So, who do they turn to? The Great British Public of course!

They make a pact. They’ll go onto the streets, interview people, and whatever story the public come up with – that will be the show. No backing out, no changing what they don’t like. Deal.

Still No Idea is Lisa and Rachael’s quest: a mischievous look at two friends searching for drama, action, and a story to tell. Part-verbatim theatre, part-confession, part-comedy sketch show with a bit of singing and dancing thrown in. Turns out getting the public to write your story is quite an adventure.
