Eurydice
Theatre
ATC, Drum Theatre Plymouth & the Young Vic
Written by Sarah Ruhl, this European premiere is created by the team behind the multi award-winning hit The Brothers Size.
Eurydice is in love with Orpheus. Her dead father has advice for her wedding but his letters can't get through to the land of the living. At last one does. With her father's words in her hand, she crashes down a flight of stairs and wakes up in the underworld; her memory wiped clean as glass. How will she ever get home?
Alice in Wonderland meets Greek myth in this playfully heart-breaking American take on a timeless tale of loss, grief and redemption by the hugely celebrated writer Sarah Ruhl.
An ATC, Drum Theatre Plymouth and Young Vic co-production.
“Sheibani's production is superb ... spellbinding and hallucinatory.” The Guardian on The Brothers Size
Age: 12+ (under 14's must be accompanied by an adult).
Doors / Bar open 7pm.
Performance at 8pm.
Free tickets for under 26 year olds are available for this performance through A Night Less Ordinary, an Arts Council England scheme. Click here for more information.

Nucleus Roots
Music
Presented by G-Steppa & Pyramid Audio
Nucleus Roots will be rocking crowds with eagerly awaited previewed tracks from their latest studio album, On Solid Foundations at shows across Europe during spring and summer 2010.
For the first time in many years they will be playing as a full live band. Nucleus Roots Producer and Musical Director P.Lush, will resume duties on the Bass, his brother Gary Morris will join him on guitar, Peter Technical on the bubbling keyboards and Delroy Walker; drummer for Suns of Arqua, Finlaye Quaye and MC Busby, on the classic Nucleus rhythms. This line up will provide backing for regular vocalists; Moses, Megadread, Simon Dan and Ossie Gad (The Natural-ites), along with new artist, Mr Marvellous.
Nucleus Roots formed in 1995 from the ashes of legendary Manchester punky/reggae outfit Community Charge. With a few line up shuffles along the way the band have now developed a cohesive, creative unit.
Recent summers have seen Nucleus raising a storm at clubs and festivals across the Continent, highlights involved supporting Lee Perry in Bergen, Norway, the prestigious Ostroda Reggae festival, Poland and the huge Dour festival in Belgium.
Nucleus Roots have a massive stage presence and produce a contagiously danceable, uplifting roots sound. This live line up sees another chapter in the band’s colourful history. The vibe will hark back to the 80’s ‘digitalised’’ sound which P. Lush loves so much as well as looking forward to a positive musical future.
Feelings run high when Nucleus take the stage so be prepared for a live performance that will take you through the full gamut of emotions.
Vocalists at the Junction: Moses, Simon Dan & Mr Marvellous
