BLOOD AND GOLD
Please note that this show will take place in The Lyceum Studio: Venue 593
By Mara Menzies
Ancient mythology and modern storytelling collide in a contemporary exploration of the legacy of colonialism and slavery by award-winning Scottish/Kenyan storyteller Mara Menzies. A dying mother gives her daughter a box containing three clues to a priceless treasure. This sets in motion a journey filled with humour and tragedy that considers the importance of ritual, identity and belonging.

Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel
By Tim Crouch
Saturday 6 - Sunday 28 August
Not here, but in another place. In another place a country is at war; an old man is blinded. But not in this theatre, here. Here, everyone’s safe. Everything’s hilarious. The Fool leaves King Lear before the killing starts.
