Think there’s no theatre after lockdown? THINK AGAIN!

Our Artistic Director Kerry Frampton has come out of retirement to perform our creative adaptation UBU, based on the PATAPHYSICALLY STUPID proto-DADAist play sequence created by Alfred Jarry. The production is now available to book until April 2022.

The show is created for a self-contained cast of two (Kerry and Splendid Veteran Scott Smith), and designed to adapt to any social distancing guidelines in effect. No lighting or additional technical equipment is required – get-in and set-up can all be done by the cast.

We are offering UBU as

• a 3hr session (60min performance with one or two 90min workshop/s) – £600+VAT
• a 6hr session (60min performance with one or two 4hr workshop/s) – £1100+VAT
• 60min performance only with optional Q&A session (includes evening sessions) – £600+VAT
• Public performances in some actual theatres (!)

UBU BOOKING INFORMATION

December 2021 update: The Spring tour of the show is now sold out for in-school performances and workshops, but you are still welcome to use the booking form to  be added to our waiting list, as there are often cancellations (especially at the moment!)

There is no restriction on audience size for the performance (allowing for distancing guidelines), and we can provide 1 or 2 simultaneous 90-minute/4hr workshops, with a maximum of 20 in each group if appropriate spaces are available. We will adhere to any group size restrictions in place at your school.

The workshops accompanying UBU are a choice of:

• UBU: Splendid Style – what we did and how we did it
• Practitioner workshop on Brecht – key techniques
• Physical Ensemble Storytelling – making performances thoroughly theatrical

The session price includes our fattest-ever 45-page education pack, and the production will be filmed for a DVD/streaming release planned for early 2022.

Theatre dates and tour schedule are below, you can use the booking form or email us if you have any questions.
