Too Fast/Bassett - T504394288

Too Fast - Sensation Nation is a vocal group founded and led by the unstoppable DD. Her grand plan is for the group to storm next year’s Britain’s Got Talent. But first they need a gig, and more importantly a heartbreaking back-story that will win them votes later on down the line. So she’s booked them in to sing at a funeral. And not just any funeral either. Sensation Nation is to sing at the funeral of Ali Monroe, an older girl from their school who was killed in a car crash. Too Fast is an ensemble comedy with a strong emotional heart and a huge theatrical reveal in the final scene. Bassett - Citizenship class at Wootton Bassett School and the supply teacher has gone a bit nuts, doing a runner and locking the pupils in. That’s bad enough, but tensions are higher today than normal, a day when only yards from their confinement a repatriation of fallen British soldiers is happening along the high street - as it has over a hundred time before through this quiet Wiltshire town. And this one is more personal than most... Dean needs the toilet, Aimee needs a coffee, Amid needs to pray, and Leo… well, Leo really really wants to be at the repat and is determined to escape. As factions form and secrets are revealed, maybe he’s not the only one who’ll want to get away. Bassett is a pacy, funny and exhausting look at young people who have inherited a world at war; who, as they grow older, are starting to ask questions about these conflicts, their country, and themselves.Company Perfect Circle Theatre Company (Too Fast).

Frank and Ferdinand/Gargantua - T01907243962

Frank and Ferdinand - A village in a war-ravaged country wakes to find that one hundred and thirty children have vanquished. Only four are left: Otto, Aloysius, Sarah and Flora. Interviewed by a Military Inquiry, each child tells the events of the night before. But their accounts seem to differ. Who is the elusive Sebastian and why does the Inquiry’s depiction of him keep changing from delinquent to charmer and back again? What’s real and what’s fairy-tale? It’s just... if we had peace... I wonder what colours I’d see with you. If all we had was the normal things I long for, just sky and school and music, like in stories, then who would you be, Sebastian? A short, satirical mystery about the suppression of truth, the making of myths, and how we see what we want to see, not what’s there. Gargantua - Mr and Mrs Mungus have just had a baby. Unfortunately, it isn’t the bouncing blue-eyed boy they were hoping for… After a two-and-a -half year pregnancy, Mini Mungus has birthed a monster - one with an accelerated growth rate and an insatiable appetite for anything that moves (including joggers). But when a gaggle of sinister military scientists intent on cloning an army of giant babies extract Little Hugh’s DNA, he breaks his chains and escapes. The world can only watch in horror as he embarks on a) learning how to walk and b) rampant destruction. Who will stop this freak of nature? Who will decide his tragic fate? And who, more importantly, will change his nappy? Inspired by Rabelais’ equally enormous novel (and from watching too many bad Japanese monster movies), Gargantua is an absurd comedy that combines the epic with the domestic, high concept with low comedy and the grotesque with the heart-felt. Suitable for ages: 13+Company Warwick Arts Centre Senior Youth Theatre (Frank and Ferdinand). Company Talisman Youth Theatre (Gargantua). Author Samuel Adamson (Frank and Ferdinand).
