WOT? NO FISH!!A bread&circuses production. A collaboration between Danny Braverman and Nick Philippou. Written and performed by Danny Braverman. Directed by Nick Philippou TIMES: 7pm (70 mins) LOCATION: Liddiard Theatre (1) TICKETS: £10 / £7 (£12 on door) Group & Family Tickets available

A true story of love, art, history and fish balls Premiering to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival 2013, Wot? No Fish!! tells the true story of a Jewish family living in 20th century London. From falling in love to quarrels about fish balls, audiences are taken on a funny and moving journey against the backdrop of a changing city.

In 1926 shoemaker, Ab Solomons, drew onthe wage packet he gave to his new wife Celie. Throughout their marriage and into the 80s, Ab drew or painted on his wage packet every week for her. These illustrations depict, with remarkable honesty, the ups and downs of their life together.

Years later Danny Braverman discovered the lost art of his Great-uncle Ab on over 2000 wage packets. Now bread&circuses bring his story to life on stage in this captivating performance. “A show about love that has been made with love” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

“Braverman makes something truly magical from apparently ordinary lives.”**** The Sydney Morning Herald

THIS IS HOW WE DIE

by Dialogue, hosted by Maddy CostaTIMES: 9pmLOCATION: Inside Out (5) TICKETS: Free with THIS IS HOW WE DIE Join us after the show for a chat.

When you love a show it’s so much fun to talk about what’s great; and when you hated it or didn’t understand it, isn’t it great to find out other people were in the same boat? Come on your own or bring your friends.

Ages 16+ www.welcometodialogue.com

by Christopher Brett Bailey TIMES: 7pm (75 mins) LOCATION: Inside Out (5) TICKETS: £10 / £7 (£12 on door) Group Tickets available

A motor-mouthed collage of spoken word and storytelling. Tales of paranoia, young love and ultra-violence.  From the desk of Christopher Brett Bailey comes a spiralling odyssey of pitch-black humour and nightmarish prose. With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies THIS IS HOW WE DIE is a prime slice of surrealist trash, an Americana death trip and a dizzying exorcism for a world convinced it is dying.
