Shows at Fringe 2017

HUMID

by Anthony Cozens

Directed by James Laver

It’s the end of a hot afternoon. Issy and Miles are on their way home from the funfair.

They need to talk, but is Hannah really the best person to dispense relationship advice?

WITH ONE LOOK

Book and lyrics by Don Black,
Christopher Hampton

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Directed by Nico Torio

A faded star of the silent screen encounters for the first time a screenwriter for sound

movies. One wields images and the other bids words. This scene from the acclaimed

musical “Sunset Boulevard”, singularly captures the plight and power of Norma Desmond, the show’s tragic heroine. Is a picture really worth a thousand words? Let her song be the judge!

BABELS IN ARMS

by David Ives

Directed by Ethan Oulton

Two blue-collar Mesopotamian construction workers are handed a provocative task: Build the Tower of Babel—or else. How many stones does it take to get to heaven, anyway?

OPENING NUMBERS

By Preeyakit ‘Fox’ Buranasin

Directed by Preeyakit ‘Fox’ Buranasin

Choreography by Tanyathorn Thaicharoen

Opening Numbers is a performance of the opening sequences of two musicals that are currently being written by Preeyakit ‘Fox’ Buranasin. The first sequence, ‘Have You Some Change Stranger,’ is the opening song for Satang and Penny. The second sequence – which includes two songs, ‘Just Next Door’ and ‘The Debate’ – starts Professor Atheist.

MEDIOCRITY

By Anton Robert Krueger

Directed by Cian Green

Do we really say what we mean when the big bad world starts to get too big for us? What would you do if you had the chance to say what you really think without any repercussions? Well this is the question facing Kenaf, our down and out everyman, a man whose life is not his own but yet a man whose life is about to drastically change. Watch as our Kenaf navigates and hopefully triumphs over the tricky waters of a difficult life and the crazy characters that surround him. Mediocrity is an absurd and grotesque comedy that borrows elements from both the Commedia Del’Arte and Burlesque traditions to send up doctors, wives, brutality and death.

SURE THING

By David Ives

Directed by Elise Meleisea

Sure Thing is a short comic play by David Ives featuring a chance meeting of two characters, Betty and Bill, whose conversation is continually reset by the use of a ringing bell, starting over when one of them responds negatively to the other. Think of it as the romantic equivalent of Groundhog Day.

A GAY THING

By Joshua James

Directed by Suman Tharan

A Gay Thing by Joshua James in a short comedic play that explores the sexuality of a straight guy, Ryan, as he shares a drink and some intimate details with his gay buddy Carl. All gay guys at one point or other have had to endure this same awkward conversation with their straight pals, and the show is guaranteed to make you laugh your ass off!
