Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

We thought dance class was good, we thought dance class was English. We were wrong. Now we see you are fully English, because you argue with your parents. In Bangladesh this wouldn’t happen. Well you’ve done what we never could. You’ve left Bangladesh behind.

Ballroom dancing is not the only humiliation heaped on Saikat by his ambitious parents. There’s catechism and Latin too. And no-one gets his name right, ever.

Join Saikat as he dances precariously through his dual-identity childhood, torn between the familiar sights of Birmingham and the mysteries of Bangladesh. Meet...

"That's why they call it Café Nero, you know. Because you sit and fiddle with your iPad while the world outside burns."

For over 500 years the smell of coffee has seeped into our streets, our lives, our society.

Hub for gossip, romance, political tub thumping, dodgy deals, completing a new pitch, book clubs, a moment alone, escaping being alone - if walls could talk.

And in one coffee shop in a town just over the horizon, those walls can talk, time escapes us and those that visit the coffee house, dream in the coffee house, plot and scheme in the coffee house all...

An ARC Stockton Production Going Viral Written and performed by Daniel Bye

An aeroplane flies from India to England. Everyone on board is weeping.

Everyone except you.

On the ground, the weeping spreads. Is it a strange new disease? An outbreak of hysteria? Or has the world become genuinely sad?

In this uncanny, high-definition world we are all more connected, more vulnerable, and more human - but not equally so.

Going Viral is a thrilling new development in Daniel Bye's unique blend of storytelling, playful comedy and performance lecture.
