| New Play ‘I Love You . . . Goodbye’ at the Old Joint Stock Theatre Posted: 18 Apr 2013 10:57 PM PDT I Love You . . . Goodbye, a new play that looks at the many forms of Love, opens next week at the Old Joint Stock Theatre. Details of this our latest production are attached, and as with all inamoment productions, we try to offer people who love their Theatre something that is different and exciting; in this case the third piece has been devised by the company during rehearsals, drawing its inspiration from the other two plays. I Love You . . . Goodbye.
Award-winning Theatre company inamoment is delighted to present an evening of short plays written by local writer Frank Bramwell, asking questions about the mysteries surrounding that little thing we all call . . . Love.
We all know that feeling . . . deeply in love and everything to go for. But sometimes it doesn't always end as we imagine it will . . . 3 short plays that look at 2 couples as they come to terms with each other . . . and Love. I'll Follow You into the Dark A couple reunite after a number of years. Clearly they once were an item . . . is their undoubted love for each other still burning strong, somewhere, somehow? Underneath the Stars Two young lovers, madly, passionately in love – but will their love for each other bring them safely through . . .? Undermath A look at how Love affects us all, the journey from star-struck to earth-bound . . . and maybe back again?
26th April (7.30pm) and 27th April (2.30pm & 7.30pm), Ticket Prices £10.00 (concession £8.00)

But this month it's all a bit different! On Thursday 25th April a selection of the best comedy improvisers from all over the country are descending on the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham City Centre for a hilarious night of laughter, thrills, and making it up on the spot - all with the aim of crowning the UK's top improviser. This April, the best quick-witted performers from Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lancaster, Dublin, Brighton as well as the pick of Midlands talent will compete against each other in a fast-paced evening of comedy games and challenges, all guided and judged by the audience. The competition stems from our own Midlands Improv competitions that have been so popular that we wanted you, the Birmingham audience, to experience the phenomenal talent that exists around the country. We are lucky to have secured some amazing improvisers from all corners of the country. Have a look at the talent on our website here Where: The Old Joint Stock Theatre When: 25th April 2013, 8pm. Cost: £7.50 Booking: 0121 200 0946 or www.oldjointstocktheatre.co.uk. All profits from the Smackdown will go to Gateway Family Services' small emergency fund. Gateway Family Services is a Birmingham based Social Enterprise working in local communities to reduce inequalities in health, education and employment. Monies raised will go towards a small fund we hold which helps clients with a range of emergencies or short term crisis. These could be anything from assisting a pregnant woman to leave an abusive partner, money for food or baby essentials to covering travel expenses to an important medical appointment or job interview. We hope to see you there! |
| Birmingham Preview: ’366 Days of Kindness’ by White Rabbit Posted: 18 Apr 2013 10:43 PM PDT White Rabbit presents: '366 Days of Kindness' You are warmly invited to a preview of our new show '366 Days Of Kindness', which will return to Birmingham at Christmas for a run at the newly re-opened Birmingham REP. The Show In response to the riots of August 2011, Bernadette Russell (Co-Artistic Director of White Rabbit) committed to be kind to a stranger every single day for a year. This multi media show tells the heartbreaking, surprising and challenging stories of that year, which began with burning buildings and ended with the flame of the Olympic torch, against a global backdrop of social unrest and economic crisis. Part storytelling, part stand up, part live documentary, featuring a dinner party with surprise guests including the Dalai Lama, Aristotle and Princess Diana, this show attempts to answer the question: is it possible to change the world just by being kind? See a youtube link about the piece here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-5jnOx8fE4 This show is written by Bernadette Russell and Directed by Gareth Brierley of White Rabbit. White Rabbit have always loved to tell tales – using stage, page, installation, events, films or sound recordings. Their commitment to producing high quality, soul absorbing, gut wrenching, eye popping, side-splitting stories will never diminish.
