Details

Three short pieces, all inspired by the works of previous artists make up this dramatic evening of story telling by emerging young writer Samuel Kastin. BLANCHE. Where's my heart!? STELLA. She means her jewellery box. It's heart shaped. A Streetcar Named Desire. Ladies and Gentlemen these are our musical boxes, listen carefully, we are clicking open their brass clasps, the gears in the musical machine are beginning to whir, the dancer is starting her spin... Down The Line - Trapped in a life of procrastination Kydd longs to break out. Will he be able to get his act together before the curtain falls. Based on Jean Cocteau's A Duet For One Voice, the lines between fantasy and reality become distinctly blurred. The White Crow - A dance piece. They say that every crow is capable of hitting the notes and sustaining the harmonies required for birdsong, but that they choose not to sing. They say that birdsong is not in their nature. However, once there was a crow that sang. Yesterday Half A Century Ago - The story of The Little Drummer Boy and The Little Matchstick Girl told in the still of an evening approaching the end of the day when all that there is left are memories.
