staid, emotionally withdrawn local government official
receives news which compels him to rethink his outlook on
life.

The actor packs a delicate humanism
into his facial expressions and line delivery as he
begins to rediscover his appetite for life.’ – Culture

Shakespeare’s Fool Thursday 12th January
Kempe died alone and poverty stricken, not
very far from the original Globe Theatre, of which he was
an original shareholder and faded into obscurity. A world
away from his former life having supposedly originated
some of literature’s best-known characters, including
Bottom, Dogberry, and Falstaff.
Join Cavaliero Kempe as he gives his
final performance to an audience of a mouse and a
marrote, and tells us what really happened between him
and William Shakespeare. A bittersweet tale, told by an
idiot. The play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2021
at theSpaceUK @Symposium Hall and returned to the Fringe
in 2022 and received rave reviews from audience and
critics alike at both runs.

Flotsam & Jetsam
Thursday 12th
Janurary
Visual theatre with original music and
delightful puppetry. Flotsam
floats, Jetsam sinks – Both their worlds are on the
brinks, The jagged arcs of waves and sharks – Chase them
both in minds and hearts.
They must break through their tears and
fears – And worries of a thousand years,
To find what’s true and out of the blue – Discover the
other and a friend that’s new.
Flotsam is soft, flexible, laid back. She
slides and glides through life on the ice. Jetsam is the
opposite, his insectile body is stiff and nervy, alert
and watchful, suspicious of all in his forest home.
And then comes the weather… and they are
both cast adrift in a world that is strange to them and
full of a range of dangers. Finally washed up on the same
island beach they must discover the other and work out
how they can work together.
A hopeful, adventure story about two
very different creatures that must learn to work
together.
