“I guess God didn’t plan for me to die today"

In 1979 Elvita Adams jumped from the Empire State Building…and survived. A freak wind blew her back onto a ledge. 
No one seems to know what happened to her after that. Ashley Smith imagines how she might have responded to such a lucky break. He has created a one ‘woman’ show in which he plays Elvita as a stand-up comic obsessed with other people who jump from cliffs and buildings.

Is it better to die together in love than be alive and apart?

On the night of her arranged marriage, a bride submits to her true feelings and elopes with her estranged lover. In doing so, her actions re-awaken a long-held family feud, resulting in bloodshed, tragedy and scandal.
In this passionate and poetic masterpiece by Spanish poet & dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca, Screaming Theatre bring to The New Continental’s Art Space a powerful play exploring themes of love, death, conformity and individualism.

By Samuel Beckett. Presented by Cul-de-Sac Theatre.

After their success with Samuel Beckett's Endgame (Winner 'Best Drama' Award, Buxton Festival, 2003), Cul-de-Sac Theatre return with perhaps Beckett's most well known play. Utilising slapstick and physical theatre, the hilarity of hopelessness is highlighted through the sheer desperation of the situation and the players. Echoes of silent films resonate throughout the farcical absurdness of everything.
