24 Italian Songs and Arias - T976891802A show about failure, by two award-winning failures. After failing to win the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award, 24 Italian Songs and Arias comes to The Yard: a recital, an opera, a gathering for (and by) those whose best isn't always enough. (Beloved) performance artist Brian Lobel failed to get into the State Choir. (Acclaimed) Soprano Gweneth-Ann Rand (4.48 Psychosis, Royal Opera House; Aida, English National Opera) failed to win at Cardiff Singer of the World. These two magnificent failures have joined forces to create a show about trying your best, aiming to please and how we ever know if we are 'good enough'. | |

Ball & Other Funny Stories about Cancer - T452424676In 2001, at the tender age of 20, Brian Lobel was diagnosed with testicular cancer - cue chemo, frozen sperm and a host of cancer cliches. Unexpected, quirky and provocative, BALL & Other Funny Stories About Cancer, is a performance about illness and the changing body over time. Infused with Brian's humour, the show is sometimes inappropriate, often salacious and always, above all else, honest and open, You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to perform a self-exam.
