Learning How To Die

Event Date: 
01/02/2016 - 7:00pm to 04/02/2016 - 7:00pm
Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

This is a show about death. It’s not a show about being sad. Or about grief. Or pity. This is a show about the actuality of dying and how an acceptance of mortality can drive a passion for life.

Learning How To Die asks what scares us about dying, and how can we use that fear to drive our living actions. Can we stop being scared of talking about dying? Can we find new ways to talk about death now, not just when we are faced with it, or have to deal with someone else’s? It won’t make it any less painful but it might just make things easier.

Mark Thomas - Trespass

Event Date: 
10/02/2016 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

Trespass carries on from where Mark's previous show100 Acts of Minor Dissent left off. It is his usual odd mix of theatre, stand up, a dash of journalism, activism and a dollop of mayhem. Mark asks the question: If the ramblers of the 1930's were here now what would they do to open up the cities? How do we turn the skyscrapers and corporate squares into our playgrounds? He sets out to try and carve a small space in the urban world where mischief and random chance can lurk. No one knows where this show is going to end up so join him on the journey.

This event is 16+ only
