Clever, layered, important work”  “Immensely enjoyed ... Political (and heartbreakingly relevant) with humour; cracking soundtrack. On tour - go see!”  “Oooh! Loved MANPOWER tonight. Smart, witty; politically never more relevant. A must- see” “Manpower turned out to be clever, visually and musically impressive - the ideas are still spinning in my head.” “What a great piece of theatre. Very interesting and thought provoking.” “ I saw the wood and yourselves this evening at The Lowry, Manchester. What a great piece of theatre. Very interesting and thought provoking. Both myself and my husband enjoyed the show very much. We will be looking out for you in the future.” and in London... “ A truly wonderful piece which I am sure I will remember for years to come. That is the point of the arts- to make people think. Thank you”  “ Fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed that and feel like crying with that ending. Loved the knowing humour.”  “ So much to think about - every sentence, gesture and building block packed full."  and in Winchester and Colchester.... “ Stunning, thinking as I go” “ Brilliant and evocative of the ties that feels so much more baffling now” “ It was brilliant, fun, and very good humour and great old music. It was an awesome show. Wonderful, thoughtful show”  “ Thought provoking, challenged my ideology”  “ It was brilliant, really enjoyed it, thank you”  “ Men, men, men, men….Great, really enjoyed Manpower. Thank you”  “ So brilliantly relevant - enjoyed the themes, thank you for the great energy and beautiful use of props”  “I really enjoyed it – it is an important show for now. I loved your emotionally switched-up- to- full with enormous restraint performance which works so well with Alister’s dead pan delivery. I enjoyed a lot of the details - the microphone in the handbag, your costume, the speeches” and over on twitter....  “ Thinking about @2destlang #Manpower - dense and thick with images, meaning, wit, irony, guts and big questions  “ Fab to see @TotalTheatreAwd winning @2destlang brilliantly and poignantly exploring the challenge of divided nation  “  brilliant. Clever, subtle, multilayered, super timely uber relevant piece of theatre”    MANPOWER - Two Destination Language Did you think it would be easy? Did you think it would be fair? Silent battles of power drive a politically complex commentary on England's working men over the last 40 years as a British man and an Eastern European woman share the stage. Music, wood and vinyl create a picture of England today and how it came to this. Total Theatre Award winners Two Destination Language take you on a romp through men, expectations, work and economics in the years since Britain voted to be a part of Europe.

NEXT UP THIS WEEK AT SLUNG LOW's HUB..... Yolanda looks for ways to cheat growing up, and Katherina muses on what has happened to the working men of England since the mid-70s. QUARTER LIFE CRISIS Thu 12 Oct from 7:30pm MANPOWER Sun 15 Oct 5pm QUARTER LIFE CRISIS - Yolanda Mercy (presented in association with Love Arts Leeds) Alicia is a hot mess. She doesn’t know what she’s doing with her life. Swiping left, swiping right to find the perfect match. Even though she’s a Londoner, born and bred, the scent of Lagos peppers her existence in the ends. Everyone around her seems to know where they’re going in life, but she’s trying to find ways to cheat growing up and keep her 16-25 railcard. What does it mean to be an adult, and when do you become one? Quarter Life Crisis mixes addictive basslines, spoken word and audience participation.

PRAGUE FRINGE CREATIVE AWARD 2012 BEDFRINGE PICK OF THE FEST 2012 ADELAIDE FRINGE BEST THEATRE 2013 ADELAIDE FRINGE BEST THEATRE PERFORMER 2013 "Hopkins is fantastic" - The Guardian LE FOULARD Sun 22 Oct 5pm at Slung Low's HUB (as part of How To...Festival 7: Make 'Em Laugh!) Le Foulard (Art Show) Starring a medley of characters, overwhelmed by a love of a show-stopping song and performed using only a scarf, this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is an Art Show, made with love by an idiot. “Hopkins is fantastic” Guardian “High art has never been funnier” The Age (Melbourne) “A beautifully rendered show about the performances of the self, poised on a knife-edge between the comic and the poignant” ABC Arts (Australia) “Both an analysis of the subconscious disguised as slapstick comedy, and a terse satire on self-indulgence… Le Foulard represents a beautiful synthesis of intelligent experimental theatre and physical craft, even as it mocks its excesses” The List “Intelligent, poignant, damn funny and hugely entertaining” Adelaide Theatre Guide “Gloriously pretentious” Fourthwall Magazine “A hilariously fragmented hour of physical theatre, song and comedy… her immaculate movements sizzle with the best kind of suppressed energy” Exeunt Magazine “This show is best experienced if you go in not really knowing what to expect. So stop reading and put it on your must-see list” Prague TV   There is a very limited capacity so to reserve a ticket please email boxoffice@slunglow.org with the number of tickets you wish to reserve and a contact telephone number. Tickets will be “Pay What You Decide” which means you will pay the company AFTER the show.
