Shon Dale Jones The Duke THU 17th OCT 7.30pmDescriptionBlending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis. The Duke received The Scotsman's Fringe First Award when it premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016 and has been produced in aid of the Save the Children's Emergency Fund, with audience members giving to the worthwhile campaign after the performance. Funny and poignant, The Duke is a one-man show by Shôn Dale-Jones, Artistic Director of Hoipolloi, who combine original storytelling with an inventive spirit. The Duke weaves together the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom -a porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Swept Under Productions Ladies of Juliana THU 3rd OCT 7.30pmDescriptionA boat, men, women, and alcohol; you can only guess what happens next. Six convict women, exiled from their homes in a bid to colonise a new land. A journey that takes more than expected, and weathers more than storms. Navigating life on the ship is a crueller fate than the destination, and the convicts have a choice to make. What happens when women close their legs and open their mouths?
