Barely Methodical Troupe BROMANCE

Meet Britain’s hottest young acrobats, Barely Methodical Troupe. This exceptionally skilled all-male trio won a Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival for their outstanding debut Bromance, and it’s easy to see why. A thrilling show, it wittily celebrates all things blokey through a series of heroic, risk-taking physical feats. With an inventive mix of flawlessly-timed acrobatics, shoulder-high balances and a stunning routine inside a spinning metal wheel the lads explore male companionship and its limits.

Playful and touching, this jaw-dropping show takes British circus to new heights. Barely Methodical Troupe are outlandishly talented; Bromance, their award-winning show, is unmissable! Bromance produced by DREAM with support from Underbelly Productions and the National Centre for Circus Arts as part of Circus Maximus. #Bromance

PERFORMANCE PACKAGE “Barely Methodical Troupe could teach Isaac Newton a thing or two about gravity.’”

The Stage

The Egg, Wales Millennium Centre and Oxford Playhouse’s co-production of Holm Theatre’s JOSEPHINE

Josephine Baker. The little girl from Missouri who became an original 20th Century icon. Dancer, actor, activist, campaigner, spy and mother to the multicultural Rainbow Tribe, Josephine broke the mould and high-kicked the pieces to the kerb. But, almost 50 years after her death, Café Josephine, a down-at-heel New York diner dedicated to her memory, faces closure. Nobody remembers Josephine, who she was, what she did, what she stood for. And she just can’t allow that. With a sultry, Harlem Renaissance-inspired score, spring-heeled Charleston dancing and a hatful of historical figures, Josephine blurs the real with the imagined as we follow one woman’s incredible journey from the slums of St Louis via the bright lights of Paris and into the hearts of the world.

The year is 2065; the people are stifled under an oppressive regime. We follow a group of rebels who live outside the system and believe things can change for the better. How can they remind people of a time when things were different? When they hoped not only to survive but to thrive? Can they bring music back to a city where it is needed more than ever? 2065 is a futuristic sensory extravaganza for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities. “The way the show is so carefully tailored to the audience’s needs provides a vital reminder that theatre can accommodate everyone.” The Stage

Based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Zog, super keen student turned air-ambulance, lands with a crash-bangthump. Together with his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle, back in a crown and a silly, frilly dress! With a bit of help with some friends and a half pound of cheese, can Pearl prove princesses can be doctors too?
