2Faced Dance Companyout of his skinJaw-dropping, athletic, acrobatic, 2Faced is the UK’s leading all-male company of six dancers.

This isn’t breakdance or hiphop but it mixes up bits of both to make an urban contemporary dance style that is amazing to watch. Fast-paced, agile and great fun.

A brilliant show for young people as well as fans of dance. Suitable for ages 7+

Daniel Byethe price of everything & the 6 o’clock news Daniel Bye is a theatre-maker, writer, director and performer who looks at big ideas and makes really unique shows about them.

The Price of Everything is a bit like theatre and a bit like stand-up comedy. A little bit interactive (but not in a scary way), very funny, and a bit thought-provoking, it asks a big question: why do we have to measure absolutely everything in money?

The 6 O’Clock News: Whatever the headlines that day, Daniel Bye and a team of specially-selected artists will digest and SFTQPOE�UP�UIFN�GPS�ZPVS�WJFXJOH�QMFBTVSF�ø�Each show is completely unique about the big issues of today.

Stan’s Cafethe anatomy of melancholy Since 1991, Stan’s Cafe have been creating new theatre which is both entertaining and thought provoking. This new show is a guided tour through one of the world’s most extraordinary self-help books. Full of 400 year old cutting edge science, maids vomiting pebbles and vicars defecating in ditches, this is also a touching insight into the human condition.

Witty, intelligent theatre from a leading company
