autumn
Attachments: Gulbenkian Listings autumn 2015.docx
Release:
14 September 2015
Audiences offered a very different view of theatre as part of the
Gulbenkian?s autumn programme.
In Stories from a Crowded Room by
experimental company Earthfall (21 -24 Oct), the audience enter the ?room?
along with the actors, musicians and dancers who make up the cast. Gradually
the characters and their stories emerge, giving audience members an incredible,
up-close experience you wouldn?t normally get in traditional theatre seating.
Family theatre features heavily once again in the
autumn programme. Gulbenkian are delighted to announce that world leading Akram
Khan Company will be performing Chotto Desh (25 Nov) a
brilliant dance performance for families, and a number of shows by Scottish
Dance Theatre, Flying Eye Company and Second Hand Dance are for smaller
children (8 months and up!).
Shakespeare features heavily in the programme, with Smooth Faced
Gentlemen bringing their multi-award winning Othello: an all female
production (13 Oct); the Pantaloons bring their take
on Macbeth(12 Nov), and the ever popular Propeller returning
with Pocket Merchant (7 Oct).
As ever, Gulbenkian offers the opportunity to see leading names in comedy,
with Patrick Kielty (2 Oct), Chris Ramsey (4 Oct), The Noise Next Door (6 Oct),
James Acaster (14 Oct), Jason Byrne (18 Oct), Ed Byrne (25 Oct), Dan Clarke (26
Oct), Sean Hughes (22 Nov), and Hal Cruttenden (5 Dec) all on the bill before
Christmas.
There is also live music with well-established
names such as Ralph McTell, Martyn Joseph and Yolanda Brown and great new
talent including the much talked about Flight Brigade and winners of this
year?s BBC 2 Folk Awards - The Rails.
Booking is now open for the season at www.thegulbenkian.co.uk. or by
calling 01227 769075.
ENDS.
