Daniel Bye: The Price Of Everything

Event Date: 
25/03/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

How much is beauty worth? What will people pay for an air guitar on eBay? Can I have a glass of milk?

These urgent questions and others are answered in The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about value. Daniel Bye's whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often tendentious - but always a joy to watch.

Comic, provocative, and possibly a tiny bit sad, this show is a must if you've ever wondered about the difference between the price of an object and its value.

A bitter-sweet physical comedy for everyone who is a day older than yesterday!

Two elderly Spanish sisters in a foreign land live against the backdrop of a battered rug and a mountain of mysterious boxes. They share the intimacy of a life lived together – careering between genuine affection and irritated annoyance.

The pair shifts between hilarious defamation, tender reminiscing and pure madness. But amidst an ever-changing reality, is this behaviour just eccentricity or something more destructive?

‘You and Me’ is a touching story with sparkling dialogue and witty...
