Afro-Caribbean Folk and Roots
 |
Celtic tradition meets Caribbean culture in this adventurous evening of storytelling and music. Jan Blake, one of Europe’s leading storytellers, and Luke Daniels, a former BBC 3 award winning musician collaborate to bring you songs, sound effects and musical delights that set the scene for great adventures with the chance for the audience to join in too. This show is perfect for adults and children to enjoy together. |
Annamation’s Tongue & Groove
Annamation are three young female storytellers who have created a fantastic new show called Tongue & Groove that mixes ancient and modern tales from around the world. These wonderful performers take the audience on a storytelling journey through song, energetic movement and poetry that will have you on the edge of your seats wanting to know what twist lies around the corner…Jenny from the office saw a sneak preview earlier this year and said she was gripped from start to finish! |

Drum Blondes
 |
New to Live & Local this year, these two young female drummers offer a fresh and funky approach to percussion with a mix of light classical pieces, contemporary songs and original material. Emily and Claire are fun and friendly and you'll be really impressed by the number of instruments they can play (and pack into one car!); from chimes and marimbas to dustbins and construction worker's helmets! |
Plested & Brown’s Health & Stacey
When Health and Safety officer, Graham Figg, is posted to the island of Sambuca he doesn’t predict bumping into his ex-girlfriend, Stacey… it’s an accident waiting to happen! Live & Local favourites, Plested & Brown, are back for a third year with another side splitting comedy caper! This “epic jungle romance” guarantees more madcap storylines, great one-liners, loads of brilliant props and hilarious performances! |

Hijinx Theatre’s The Other Woman
 |
After a brief hiatus from Live & Local, Hijinx Theatre return with The Other Woman, a plat set in South wales during the First World war. It explores the struggles of Meg Watkins, a young mother who is left alone in an isolated farmhouse when her husband goes to war. A young conscientious objector arrives at the farmhouse seeking refuge and when Meg agrees to help disguise him she has no idea what will happen when her husband returns. Hijinx's compelling shows are full of excellent acting and stories that will stay in your memory for a very long time. |
