Mark Watson
Comedy
SOLD OUT!
THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT!
All the thoughts I've had since I was born
In 2008, Mark Watson won Best Show at the Adelaide and Sydney Comedy Festivals, completed a 100-date tour of the UK, Australia and New Zealand, recorded the second series of his cult Radio 4 show Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better, trained as a climate change lecturer under Al Gore, performed another 24-hour show, published his third book, Crap At The Environment and continued his regular appearances on the likes of BBC2's Mock The Week.
He is one of Britain’s most talked about comedians, but also, is quite tired and a bit stressed. He returns to the road with a brand new show where he describes his attempts to reclaim his sanity.
“THE HIGHEST ACHIEVER EDINBURGH HAS SEEN THIS DECADE, HE STANDS OUT AS PETER COOK OR JOHN CLEESE MUST HAVE DONE” Times
“WATSON COULD MAKE BINARY CODE A SHOWSTOPPER…HE TAKES NO PRISONERS” Metro

Menagerie
Theatre
Sparks
In advance of the Hotbed New Writing Theatre Festival 2009, Menagerie present Sparks, rehearsed readings of four diverse and daring new plays across four nights. Each piece will be followed by a post show discussion with the cast and playwright.
Teenage Love in Twisted Dreamland by Ben Craib
It's Joe's birthday. He's at a goth night. He's got fifty quid, a desperate crush, and nothing to lose. Except his virginity. And his dignity.
See Menagerie's website for more information.
Hotbed 2009 dates announced 25 June - 04 July.
This is a Pay What You Like show.
Suitable for ages 14+
Duration: 60 - 80 mins
Kursk
Theatre
A Young Vic and Fuel Production. Sound&Fury's Kursk. In collaboration with Bryony Lavery
Inspired by the tragic event of 2000, when a Russian submarine, The Kursk, suffered a huge explosion that ripped the bow apart and sent the vessel to the seabed, Sound&Fury and Bryony Lavery will explore the unique experience of the submariner deep below the arctic seas, alone, contained, controlled and yet with Armageddon at their fingertips.
Join us for this last stage of development before Kursk opens at the Young Vic in the spring. Each showing will be followed by a Q&A and opportunity to meet the company.
"An extraordinary piece of theatre. Form and content are perfectly married."
