TaurusVoice presents
A Sleepwalk on the Severn
by Alice Oswald

A Sleepwalk on the Severn is a new poem that was commissioned by Gloucestershire County Council as part of this year’s Severn Festival. Written by the celebrated poet Alice Oswald, the TaurusVoice production of A Sleepwalk On The Severn is a delightful physical and vocal telling of the moon in her various stages of waxing and waning as she floats above the River Severn. Drowned sailors, sleepy fishermen, excited birdwatchers and muddy crabs jostle for attention in this spiky, quirky, contemplative production, performed by 5 actor/singers and their musical instruments.

The Tale of Lady Stardust

Culturecated Theatre Company in association with Theatre Raconteurs presents
Borderline
by Rob Benson

One man’s journey from the euphoric highs of the dance floor to the desperate despair of the mental health ward, walking hand in hand with an illness he can’t escape. BORDERLINE is street poetry, dance madness, and punchy verse-driven drama, exploring life, love, obsession, and all the pills in-between. A one flew over the cuckoo’s nest for the ecstasy generation.

The show premiered to rave reviews at last years Edinburgh Festival, and is appearing prior to leaving the UK for the New York fringe festival. A hard-hitting account of a difficult truth in today’s society you simply must see.

“ If you’re in the audience of Rob Benson’s brilliant one-man piece about drug-induced psychosis, you’re going to listen...  it’s beautiful, as he lapses in and out of fast-paced rhyming verse reminiscent of Mike Skinner at his best ” Kirsten Innes. The List ****

“Borderline is a fascinating account, always putting the audience slightly ill-at-ease, a solid performance highlighting the tyranny of labeling individuals” Neil Simpson, Edinburgh Festival Magazine ****

Written and performed by Rob Benson
Directed by Jennifer Lunn
