Camden People’s Theatre Associate Artists will visit Bristol, Brighton, Manchester, Cardiff and Sheffield with Some People Talk About Violence |
Following the success of the award winning Nothing, Barrel Organ are taking the highly praised Some People Talk About Violence on their first UK tour:The Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol The Marlborough Theatre, Brighton Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester The Other Room at Porter’s, Cardiff Sheffield Theatre Delicatessen, The Moor, Sheffield Violence doesn’t only exist in war-zones and blockbuster movies. It is everywhere - in our relationships, in our workplaces, in our political structures - yet it is not always seen. We might not see it, but we feel it. In a world of globalisation and greed, of zero hour contracts and The Big Bang Theory, violence worms its way into every aspect of our lives. Following their debut show Nothing, multi award-winning company Barrel Organ presents Some People Talk About Violence, a show which asks what violence means and what it might look like. Expect people, or just ideas, in mindless frustration, on the edge of some kind of revolt. Created by the company and with text by Lulu Raczka (Sunday Times Playwriting Award), Some People Talk About Violence tells the story of a family whose lives are defined by the violence around them in an anarchic, unexpected form. Some People Talk About Violence premiered at Edinburgh Festival 2015 at Summerhall where it was long-listed for an Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award. Barrel Organ toured the play to Furnace at West Yorkshire Playhouse and Emerge at Warwick Arts Centre. Some People Talk About Violence was developed with the support of Camden People’s Theatre, Warwick Arts Centre and The HUB, Leeds. Some People Talk About Violence is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. “This young company are the future” - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian LIVE 3: ON TOUR Alongside Some People Talk About Violence, Barrel Organ will be touring their exciting and engaging: LIVE. LIVE is a scratch night curated by Barrel Organ; presenting experimental and non-traditional work that specifically acknowledges the presence of the audience and plays with the ‘liveness’ of theatre. LIVE began at Camden People’s Theatre as a night that seeks to offer the opportunity for emerging, as well as more established, artists and companies to test up to 20 minutes of material in front of an audience. On this tour Barrel Organ will be working with artists and companies from across the UK to develop new work. LIVE is not just another scratch night. LIVE gives audiences a unique opportunity to see the most exciting theatre in the earliest stages of its development. LIVE hosts bold, experimental and uncompromising work that tackles a wide range of issues, agendas and ideas. Audiences can experience LIVE 3 at the following venues: LIVE 3: MANCHESTER - Manchester Royal Exchange - 16th November LIVE 3: CARDIFF - The Other Room - 23rd November LIVE 3: SHEFFIELD - Moor Theatre Delicatessen - 29th November “A company worth watching out for” - Natasha Tripney, The Stage |
