September Events
FOLK MUSIC Pons Aelius Tuesday 19th September, 8pm 2 Hours inc. interval, Age 8+
Pons Aelius are a testament to the strength of the North East folk scene. With a healthy share of Scots, they’re the most exciting band to come out of Newcastle in a long time. Their musical style is a wild liberation from the ordinary that fits the post-trad generation like a glove.
COMEDY/FAMILY Jango Starr presents
"One Man Shoe" Wednesday 20th September, 7.30pm
1 Hour, Age 5-95+ yrs
When the headline act fails to show up, Jango, a bumbling theatre caretaker, is suddenly thrust into the limelight and embarks on a hilarious journey of highly crafted and heart-felt silent comedy, as he magically finds his way to realise his dream of transforming into a star!
DRAMA Dogstar Theatre presents
"The Sky is Safe" 1 Hour, Age 12+
A love story. A war story. A microcosm of our time. The Sky is Safe is a new work and personal response to the Syrian tragedy created by writer Matthew Zajac and director Ben Harrison, makers of the multi-award winning play The Tailor of Inverness. A play about identity and power, choice and its absence, beauty, brutality and survival focusing on two individuals driven by geopolitics, war, hunger, self-gratification and love.
