GARDEN

7:30pm, ?10

Garden by Lucy Grace

Produced by How Small. How Far

Monday to Friday, Lucy catches the 8am train to London Bridge. 9am, her day begins at Insignia Asset Management, where she is in charge of the photocopier, printer, scanner, shredder and binder. She is the only person in the office who knows how to clear a paper jam. She's starting to wonder how this fits into the Grand Scheme of Things. One day, her life takes an unexpected turn when she rescues the long-suffering office pot plant. In her flat, 24 floors up, she begins to plant, cultivate and nurture her own personal wilderness.

Garden is a humorous and poetic story about trying to form a meaningful connection to the world, when you feel out of step with everyone else in it.

Saturday 17th September
THE INEVITABLE HEARTBREAK OF GAVIN PLIMSOLE

7:30pm, ?10

Winner of the Les Enfant Terribles Award 2016.

If you had a finite number of heartbeats, how would you make each beat count?

Gavin is given a life-changing diagnosis. In the space between the beat before this revelation and the beat after, he assesses his entire life; what has he done with those beats? Which has he thrown away? And how many did he lose when She broke his heart...?

Gavin Plimsole is hoarding his heartbeats in the shed at the bottom of his garden; he may not have enough heartbeats left, so he will need to borrow some of yours... We will measure your heartbeat throughout the show, using state of the art fitness heart rate monitors - in return for sharing your heart beats, Gavin will send you out to see each beat in a different way.
