Event Date: 
06/06/2014 - 2:30pm
Venue: 
Unit 22, Guildhall Shopping Centre, Exeter

A love story between two women that spans a hundred years, moves across continents, occurs in a multitude of languages. A story about hope, the distances we travel, and the lengths we might go to when falling in love...

We’ll Meet in Moscow is a new collaborative performance project created by writer Natalie McGrath (Oxygen, Coasting), choreographer Jane Mason (Life Forces, Singer) and sculptor Sophia Clist (Oxygen, The World At Your Feet), and is a response to the banning of Gay Pride in Moscow, August 2012, for 100 years.

Comedy Duo Ignite the Rusty Bike

I've been hearing rumblings for months about the Exeter based female comedy team O'Shea & O'Gaukroger, but they never seemed to be in their hometown long enough for me to catch the show. Last night the stars aligned and I was able to see them at The Rusty Bike during their stop as part of The Exeter Ignite festival. Now I get it! These two are original, energetic and genuinely funny. They utilise a combination of character sketches, topical songs, ridiculous poetry, and audience involvement to breeze through their face paced hour long act. For good measure they even included a clip...

The Last Post

Event Date: 
06/06/2013 - 1:00pm to 08/06/2013 - 7:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix Car Park, Exeter

The Last Post is a brand new first class performance, devised and delivered by Kilter Theatre. Set to an original “harmony-drenched, melancholy-tinged” live score and performed at extremely close quarters in the back of Mobile Sorting Office 451 – a lovingly converted bright red van crammed with retro-chic details from a much-traveled life, a thousand items of real mail and seating for just 17. The Sorting Office will be situated in the grounds of the Exeter Phoenix Car Park.

A redundant Post Master seeks solace in the bosom of an infamous Great Aunt but finds himself instead...
