Two people meet at a derelict bus stop. Both
waiting. Their separate lives are stalled
by a single incident that now joins them together.
What can they say to each other? Sole Purpose’s
startling production looks at the issue of
ex-political prisoners and victims and allow
audiences to re-write and re-direct the play
using their own experiences, imagination and
reactions to the story they have just seen.
Tickets £3 available from The Festival

Total
Theatre winner and a HUGE hit at the Edinburgh
Festival 2000, 3 Dark Tales is the heart warming
and poignant story of three people whose lives
are closely linked, although they don’t
know it yet.
Exploring the everyday oppressions that keep
us down and wear us out on a daily basis;
oppressions that we occasionally, dramatically
and emphatically overcome.
Both extremely funny and touchingly tragic,
3 Dark Tales weaves these three lives into
one, revealing the humanity in all of us,
with it’s happy or not-so-happy ever
after.
Using a fantastic soundtrack, Keatonesque
slapstick big dance numbers and text as you’ve
never heard it, 3 Dark Tales is popular and
accessible show that will ‘restore your
faith in theatre’.
Tickets £10/£8 (£6 concession
on £8 ticket) available from The Waterfront
Hall.
