Trapped in a well shaft for 56 hours, a little girl waits to be found. Above ground, three journalists chase the story every step of the way, framing it for media consumption and spinning it wildly, erratically and erroneously away from the truth. Inspired by true events, A Fool’s Proof searches for answers and scatters accusations as the rescue mission struggles on.
Scratchworks presents a performance inspired by the true story of the 18 month old Jessica McClure, who in 1987 was trapped for 56 hours in a Texan water-well. Using sharp new writing, imaginative tomfoolery and earthy...

Merlyn and Claudia get the fear; here they try to describe it in another way. The theme of withdrawal influences this exploration in three chapters:
+9 A fifteen minute aural meditation on the themes of distance and anxiety. Journeying from sparse soundscapes to hyperactive rhythms, it merges heavily processed field recordings with meandering electronica.
Solo A dance about being solo. Claudia looks at her ability to control, to lose control, to be out of control. In a live physical performance born from a lifetime of getting carried away.
An engaging physical theatre production combining acro-balance, movement and live music. Gypsy Ghetto Game dissects and explores the truth, and the lies, surrounding Eastern European migration to the UK.

Instead, this up and coming comedy duo are storming their way back round the UK in 2014 fresh from two UK tours in 2013. Catch them on their first stop here in Exeter.

How do you tell whether an idea is worth salvaging? How do you update a past philosopher’s ideas, embedded in another historical time, for our own age, where some things have changed out of recognition? You come to the Idea Breaker’s Yard, that’s how! Watch ideas as they are salvaged, gutted, revamped, reassessed and retreaded for the road, live on stage.
