- PERFORMANCE -
25 – 29 Nov
MILE END at Drum Theatre, Plymouth, 01752 267222, www.theatreroyal.com
7.45pm, £12
Mile End is a frantic, contemporary mix of arresting visual performance, puppetry and multi-media. Presented by Analogue, a young Surrey based company, this performance is inspired by the devastating true story of the murder of Christophe Duclos, who was pushed in front of a train at Mile End station in 2002 by Stephen Soans-Wade.
Michael lives alone and is entrenched in his daily routine. When a minor occurrence threatens the fragile order he so desperately relies upon, he struggles to keep one foot in the door of reality. Alex is having dreams; snapshots of the future which disturbingly appear to come true. Kate is very much awake, but before long even her reality is threatened by her husband's nightmares, as he attempts to prevent the inevitable. A startling sequence of events culminates in a “chance” encounter on the platform of Mile End Station.
This innovative piece was a major success at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it won two awards and was nominated for five more. There will be a post show talk at The Drum on Thursday 27 Nov.

29 Nov
SHADES OF BROWN at The Barbican Theatre, Castle St, Plymouth
7:30pm, £10/£8
Written and performed by Rani Moorthy, this thought provoking one woman show asks: can one person's healthy glow be another's social stigma? Comic, bold and moving, the show looks at cultures of tanning and bleaching skin around the globe. From a South African albino to a skin-bleaching Indian bride, Rani Moorthy, with her celebrated mix of warmth and powerful story telling, transforms into funny and poignant characters who share an ironic kinship through the one thing they cannot hide or hide from - their skin. This show is presented by Asian Arts Agency as part of a new Cultural initiative sin partnership with Barbican Theatre to support Asian Arts in Plymouth.

VISIBLE CITY by BEATRICE JARVIS at Gallery, Dartington College of Arts, Dartington, Totnes.
