Eugene by Ingenious Fools
This Saturday 23rd October @ 7.30pm


View this email in your browser















Fresh from a debut run at the Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe 2021.

In the not too distant future, millionaire and inventor (think Elon Musk with a further attitude problem) ‘Hugh’ from Hu-Bris industries is launching the first superhuman artificial intelligence at a press conference. And you’re invited. ‘Eugene’ is a show about what happens when we give technology the power over us, with an anthropomorphic power point. Think The Terminator does a Ted Talk with Steve Jobs.

A comedy theatre show that comes with integrated captioning via The Difference Engine, delivering part of the story through your smart device and meaning that every performance is deaf friendly.

Supported by Arts Council England and received the Pleasance National Partnerships Award for Yorkshire 2020/21.
With support from Attenborough Arts Centre, In Good Company, Barnsley Civic, Theatre in the Mill and Sunglow’s The HUB, with dramaturgy support from Fringe First award winner Dick Bonham, Uncanny Theatre’s Natalie Bellingham, LaPelle’s Factory’s Ollie Smith, award-winning comedian Tom Taylor and Deaf actress/practitioner Emily Howlett.

Creative Kirklees Newsletter 19 October 2021




Welcome to your weekly round-up of creative activity across Kirklees!

With half-term almost upon us, there are a great selection of family activities coming up, including some fabulous Halloween themed events to look out for such as the Halloween Spooktacular which is taking place at the Piazza Shopping Centre from 23-30 October with a range of free family activities and entertainment. You will find lots more in the newsletter and on our website.

It's great to see a mini version of the Cosmia Festival return this week, running from 23-31 October with a selection of live and online events for both children and adults.

And talking of Festivals we have two more coming up very soon that you might want to be checking out. There’s a big welcome back to cinema in the Holme Valley with the return of the Holmfirth Film Festival (31 Oct – 7 Nov) and //hcmf is back with a five day Festival (18-22 November)!

For something a bit different in an unusual venue, the production of the new play Every Thing by Tom Lodge, a unique site specific play about the cost of progress and the value of friendship is being performed in the old Poundworld store at the Piazza Centre from Thurs-Sat evening this week – there are a still a few tickets remaining.

Lastly, there are lots of interesting job opportunities on site at the moment including this one with Kirklees Council who are looking for a specialist Executive Producer individual or organisation to help them realise their artistic and strategic ambitions for the Year of Music 2023 – could this be you or anyone you know?

Until next week…….
