Eastern Angles at Pulse and Ip-Art
27 May 2014
Eastern Angles will be presenting an extract from Molly Davies's new play Chicken as part of the New Wolsey's Pulse Festival. Commissioned by Eastern Angles, Chicken is described by Molly as ‘a darkly comic drama which explores difference and cruelty'. In the play, the South East is cutting the rest of Britain adrift and East Anglia is fending for itself. The action follows the journey of a bird from farm, to processing plant, to supermarket to dinner table. Pulse audiences will be the first to see a thirty-minute extract from the play when we hold a rehearsed reading, directed by Dan Herd, at the New Wolsey Studio on Saturday May 31st at 3.30pm. Tickets (£5) are available from the New Wolsey Box Office 01473 295900 or online at www.pulseipswich.co.uk
As part of this summer's Ip-art Festival Eastern Angles will be presenting a performance of Once Upon A Lifetime, a new play by Jon Tavener inspired by interviews with Suffolk's older generation. With the support of Orwell Housing Association Jon has been talking to care home residents, and discovering their stories. Now these poignant and often amusing memories will be brought to life on stage.
The fifty-minute show can be seen at the Sir John Mills Theatre, Gatacre Road, Ipswich on Wednesday 25th June at 7.45pm. Tickets (£5) are available from the Eastern Angles Box Office 01473 211498 or online at www.easternangles.co.uk
