Viki is not coping. Taking you from the dairy aisle of Sainsbury’s to the green turf of Ascot, via a disco of dirty secrets with a euro-pop soundtrack; HELP! is about falling apart and pulling yourself together again. This moving, joyous show is for anyone who has ever struggled.
Award-winning performer Viki Browne returns to The Bike Shed with her collagic performance style which borrows from live art, stand-up comedy, spoken word and cabaret.
We Are Brontë is a piece of comic visual theatre inspired by the real and imaginery worlds of Yorkshire’s literary siblings, presented in Publick Transport’s irreverent style. Physical theatre collides with clowning and improvisation as two performers deconstruct not only gothic themes of love, madness, repression and revenge, but also themselves. Part play, part enquiry into the act of putting on a play, this promises to be no ordinary Brontë adaptation.
