For Valentine’s weekend the Playhouse will be providing a stimulating alternative to mush, sop, sentiment and fluffy bunnies. We’ll be ripping love to shreds in a variety of colourful and cathartic ways. Join us on Friday night for : The interactive ‘Death Love Lounge Graveyard’ - a chance to exorcise those old relationships that still haunt you. We will be holding funerals for unrequited love, love that’s rotten and tarnished and love that just shouldn’t be there frankly and gets on your nerves. Free yourself from your shackles and run around with our very own Madam Amour-Morte celebrating your new found freedom. Back by popular demand - Simon Cantrill, of the Playhouse resident live art performance troupe phNeutral. Simon will be invoking the tragic comedy of desire whilst trying to keep a straight face under his white slap. Bringing a new meaning to a broken heart...Local artist Vicky Egan will be wielding her bloody heart piñata and encouraging you to violently smash it to bits. Improvised performance from Chemaine Cooke, our resident contemporary dance practitioner. - ‘ Alice with Malice in a Pound shop Wonderland’ Also featuring Nasty Matthew’s intermittent Extreme Metal Dirty Steaming Riffs, throughout the evening and with feeling.
