SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:As his mother battles chronic depression\, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows\, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs\, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. \nAt once intimate and interactive\, this touching\, funny\, and uplifting play (originally seen at the Junction earlier this year) chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. The Guardian called it “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. Written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, it sold out at three consecutive Edinburgh Festivals. \nHere it’s directed and performed by the Junction’s Gautam Goenka. He did the show 18 months ago at the Junction\, and it was one of the best things in that season … Recommended. \nThere are performances at 7.30pm on 3 and 4 November. \n

SUMMARY:Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:A new production of Shakespeare’s tragedy by ETT (English Touring Theatre)\, now touring after it opened a few weeks ago at Shakespeare North Playhouse in Britain. Directed by ETT’s Artistic Director\, Richard Twyman\, the play speaks to a world we find ourselves living in now\, asking why Macbeth has haunted our fears and nightmares for centuries and what lessons this cautionary tale is still trying to communicate to us … \nThe production emphasises the politics – “a struggling and divided nation\, tearing itself apart. So\, when the Macbeths see their chance at the crown\, why shouldn’t they take it?” – but looks beyond the naked opportunism that seems so familiar to Western audiences: “Dreams quickly turn to nightmares\, humanity erodes\, nature stirs. As society strives to make sense of the darkness that sits inside it\, how long will it take for people to fight back against the endless cycle of violence and corruption?” \nIt’s a co-production with Northern Stage\, Shakespeare North Playhouse and Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg. There are further performances at at 3pm and 8pm on 4 November\, and at 3pm on 5 November.
