A season of rarely performed plays whichexamine the First World War and its aftermathfrom a European perspective. The centenaryhas brought us productions of Journey’s Endand Oh What a Lovely War, but here we offerthe view from elsewhere.

Tuesday 24th & Wednesday 25th March7.30pm

Don Juan Comes Back Fromthe War (1936)By Odon Von Horváth translated by Christopher Hampton

A startling tale of dislocation in the aftermathof the first war. The old lothario is back andhe has some catching up to do. But this isnow the modern world and everything ischanged…even the women. By turnsgrotesque and magisterial, the play is,according to The Daily Telegraph, “a requiemfor man's better nature.”

Thursday 26th & Saturday 28th March7.30pm

The Silver Tassie (1928)by Sean O’Casey

With extraordinary shifts of tone and refusalto offer up easy answers, this play wasreviled when it first appeared: WB Yeatsattacked the play for what he called "a seriesof almost unrelated scenes." But theatricalsensibilities have changed, and now that wehave experienced ‘…A Lovely War’ we canallow ourselves the space to enjoy a richmixture of the panoramic, the realistic andthe expressionistic. “One leaves the theatre convinced thatYeats failed to recognise a drama ofexceptional power and originality.” The Daily Telegraph

Friday 27th March 7.30pm & Saturday 28th March 2.30pm

Flight (1927)by Mikhail Bulgakov in a new adaptation by Ron Hutchinson

This rich and poetic satire presents a worldin flux, chaos and hysteria. Written by theauthor of The Master and Margarita, it wasbanned in the Soviet Union until 1957,unsurprising since it is a picaresque accountof the flight of White Army Russians from theCrimea to the Ottoman Empire, where theold world crumbles and the Bolsheviks takepower. Although not directly a WW1 play, itcaptures a proximate moment in history.“Somewhere or other, some nation is alwaystearing itself apart and putting its citizens toflight…Flight is the masterpiece on theémigré experience.”The Independent

Peter Knight’s Gigspannerpresent: Historical Dust

Album Launch Tour

Tickets £15 / £14 / £5 Edge Hill University students

Peter Knight’s Gigspanner has been hailed bySonglines magazine as "another milestone in folk’srebirth of cool", although to classify these threevirtuoso performers purely as folk musicians is toundersell them by a long chalk.A bedrock of British traditional music is to beexpected from Steeleye Span’s erstwhile legendaryfiddle player. But, Gigspanner’s musical reach flirtswith Eastern European, French, Cajun, African andeven Aboriginal influences. Peter’s musicianship is further enhanced by theflawless playing of Roger Flack on Guitar andVincent Salzfaas on Congas and Djembe.

Council House Movie Star: a photographic exploration of practice based research consists ofa series of photographic gallery images of the working class drag queen Gale Force and her'family' on the periphery of society. These photographs were taken over a period of two yearsand reflect the creative process of the renowned film and immersive installation work CouncilHouse Movie Star (2012). This exhibition will display the body as it really is with the greying of hair, bad wigs and make-up, and no glamorous Photoshop trickery, no pretend muscles and no removal of fatty skin.The work seeks to encapsulate the immortalised fat and ageing drag body on canvas, laid barefor public scrutiny. In addition to the display of photographs printed onto canvas, accompanying texts will givegreater insights into the working process and behind-the-scenes action of the research andmethods used. These shall include: filming scenes, rehearsals, performances, the 'draggingup' and 'dragging down' in the changing rooms, and projection of documented interviews withperformers. The documentation of the process of performance making is, in itself, as essentialas the performance for practice-led artists.
