After leaving my brain aside for the wonderfully unnecessary
and increasingly ridiculous Fast and furious 7 and the absurdly odd sponge bob
square pants (although the tv show is better) I reattached my brain and watched some
interesting, intelligent and sometimes challenging theatre. Watch out for Pulse
winners this theatre’s police cops – very knowingly funny, taking the audience
with them but how will it be developed? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1677467423/police-cops
Also some fabulous first 5 minutes – Eden by displace yourself theatre http://displaceyourselftheatre.co.uk/
and 1.9 by Jackagbritton http://jackagbritton.tumblr.com/
it will be great to see what happens next. The deaf and hearing ensemble’s People
of the eye http://www.thedeafandhearingensemble.com/projects/
, shit theatre’s woman’s hour, http://www.shittheatre.co.uk/sht-reviews.html
the man from fukushima by kazuko hohki http://www.kazukohohki.com/kazuko/performance.html
and annie siddon’s how (not) to live in suburbia were really enjoyable 20
minutes. But the brutalising 70 minutes that was Christopher Brett Bailey http://christopherbrettbailey.com/
was the highlight – how does he do that? – a dark truly alternative to the
mundane life around us and yet in some way timeless – channelling so much of beat-poet-80s-anger
– this is a good thing – I felt at home. He really is a must see – this is how
we die is near the end of its tour but go see if you can your brain will be
given a through workout.
