Just Barking
by Joe Wiltshire Smith
Performed in rep with That Day on the 18th & 20th October
Stumbling back into her flat drunk at 10:30am, Tammy, a trainee nurse, decides to confess EVERYTHING to camera. To confront some demons, co-workers, postmen… this could take a while… You think you know her, but maybe you don’t know half of it.
Tammy’s life is a frantic mess of drink, insomnia and patient drama, with the usual hangover worse than death the next day – ’til one night, coming home from work, she get’s some self-help advice from the most unlikely of gurus… in fact, he’s a Chihuahua.
A richly black comedy, this one-woman, drastic reimagining of Gogol’s ‘Diary of a Madman’ investigates the strain on healthcare, the toxic cycle of hustle culture, the deafening toll on mental health and the rediscovery of the self.

A double bill of contradictions. First an acrobatic presentation, complete with graphs, about the state of the world in 60% Banana, followed by a mime and acrobat duo, life-long friends who are polar opposites but joined in their need to be ready for anything.
Craftsmanship meets circus in a spellbinding exploration of the human desire to create. On a custom-built stage, obsessed characters discover and transform their space and themselves as they take the audience into a unique DIY experience. Silly, surreal and completely captivating.
In this capricious game between two acrobats, nothing is fixed. Feel welcome to take a seat on one of the rolling stools and be an actor in this moving composition. The performance invites to make contact, to touch, to be part of and to influence. Or none of this, you can stay invisible in the group.
Performances at 11am, 1pm & 3pm.

The stage is a mess. Laundry spans floor to ceiling. Out of the chaos rises the aerial silk. In this highly physical solo show about motherhood, circus, theatre and spoken word combine to unravel the mysteries of the mother trees which hold the forest together.
Anything is possible with the incredible power of the collective. Build a human tower, catch one another with precision and perform jaw-dropping acrobatics, all accompanied by original music performed live on stage. Teamwork makes light work of the most challenging feats.
