Rove

Event Date: 
22/09/2015 - 7:30pm to 26/09/2015 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

This is an exploration. I want to tell a story – well, my family’s story. Some of it may be true and some may not. There was a song my mom used to sing to me, which her father sang to her. It may have been Irish (that’s where he came from) or even American (that’s where I come from). Or possibly Scottish (weird, because none of us are from Scotland).

Using poetry and live folk music, this show is for anyone who has ever tried to untangle a family anecdote, or wished they knew more about where they came from.

Tickets: £5 Tuesdays and £10/ £8 Wed-Sat

Baked Alaska: Time to Change the Temperature

Riding Lights Theatre Company comes to Exeter to serve up a sharp and deliciously comic slice of Baked Alaska - bringing interconnecting stories of the wild and unpredictable effects of climate change from the four corners of the earth.

Scientists, farmers, oil magnates, climate warriors, prophets, mothers, journalists and others just like you and me – we’re all in the mix and hungry for a recipe of hope. In the struggle over power, some sound the warming bell, some blow hot and cold, while others make a pudding of the planet....

Her cat’s died and she accidentally poisoned her fish. She needs a friend. But she is afraid. In a world of continuous self-comparison she feels inadequate and finding a friend in today’s world is more than a little stressful.

Princeton, who has just moved to the neighbourhood, desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his purpose in life.
