The Ballad of The Burning Star

Theatre Adinfinitum

Probably our most ambitious offering ever – “a theatrical hand grenade” said Lyn Gardner, multi award winning and garlanded with glittering reviews. Absolutely unmissable, mindblowing cabaret/theatre from the company who brought us the unforgettable Translunar Paradise. With a cast of seven including a chorus of international dancers and live on stage music, this took last summer’s Edinburgh fringe by storm – voted by many as the top show there. For two nights only in Cornwall before touring nationally to Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool and London.

Quotes, notes, and awards:

“Multi-award winning Theatre Ad Infinitum (Translunar Paradise, Odyssey) presents an explosive tale. Armed with music, killer heels and a lethal troop of divas an enraged Israeli executes a story of victimhood, persecution, aggression and love. With shrapnel sharp voices and moves as smooth as an oiled tank chain, this cabaret troop invites you on a journey into the core of the conflicted Jewish State.”

“With shades of a far more visceral Cabaret, The Ballad of the Burning Star is a welcome and audacious reminder of how ground-breaking the theatre can really be. This is a play that doesn’t shy away from the controversy and complexities of an issue that many are still afraid to even approach. Truly haunting and admirable in its boldness”

Winner of The Stage Award ‘Best Ensemble’ 2013

“A theatrical hand grenade” – Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ****

“Breathlessly inventive” Tom Lamont Observer *****

“A thrillingly edgy piece of entertainment” – The Scotsman *****

“Bold and Inventive” – The Stage, a MUST SEE! Show

Guy Masterson: Animal Farm

“Some actors are more equal than others, but few are quite as equal as Guy Masterson!” (The Times)

Hilariously comic and powerfully poignant by turns, Masterson’s breathtaking storytelling creates the farmyard around you in 2 hours of utterly compelling theatre. As the most per- formed solo show in the world, this is a must see performance for all ages.

Tickets £10, £8, Children £4

Every Brilliant Thing

Pentabus Theatre

This remarkable feelgood play written by Duncan Macmillan, presented ‘in the round’ by the brilliant comedic actor Jonny Donahoe, swept everything aside at Edinburgh 2014 and has followed that with runs in London, just recently sixteen (yes sixteen!) weeks Off Broadway in New York, and last month success at the Brighton Festival. It has been tremendously well received by audiences and critics alike.

We booked it at once having seen it last summer, and we are delighted to have the only performance in Cornwall on this UK nationwide tour.

It’s a play that cannot fail to move you to tears but then have you burst out laughing. As Lyn Gardner described it “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression .. and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see full stop.” It redefines the word life-affirming.

On the surface, it’s the simple telling of a story of how a young boy deals with his mother’s depression, trying to help by writing a list of all the ‘brilliant things’ he can think of to cheer her up. But the story develops – involving and absorbing the audience – into the boy’s life story: by the time he has grown into manhood, he discovers that the continuously evolving list has become his own personal blueprint for a healthy life.

Donahoe is a warm and personable performer — so warm and personable, he doesn’t even seem to be performing as much as taking the audience into his confidence.

Not only is his emotionally damaged character willing to share his precepts for a happy life with his audience, the audience become collaborators in his story.

This is a play you should not miss, literally ‘one of a kind’

Tickets £10, £8, Children £5
