Show Poster

Matt Gorman, Artistic Director of Cart/Horse Theatre, has a way of making an interviewer forget about asking for little things like show dates and the theatre company’s website URL. This Lime Tree Bower, incidentally, has a preview on December 6th and runs from December 7th through December 22nd.

But there’s a lot more to this episode than a show and a theatre company. Matt has provocative thoughts on quite a number of topics. Have a listen, then have your say.

Houdini

The Theatre Lab has a history of bringing lots of talented individuals together for their productions. There is certainly a similar confluence for The Other Houdini, which brings together aspects of Clown, physical comedy, and escape artistry… not to mention original music. Omar Hady, Michael Orlando, and Robert Feetham shared their excitement about the show and their enthusiasm regarding the company’s co-residence with Pandemic Theatre in the Collective Studio & Event Space.

What’s more deranged than five people talking on three microphones? The answer to that may very well be the first production from tryworks theatre co. The director and cast of Aeroplane Jelly(Brooke Meyer, Andy Ingram, Matthew Donovan, and Zachary Knowles – respectively) all swung by after a rehearsal at which, you can hear for yourself, they probably had a blast.

Fancy a tickle? Have a listen.
