The catastrophe trilogy

Lone Twin Theatre present The Catastrophe Trilogy. Alice Bell, Daniel Hit By A Train and an as yet untitled third work share a common playful interest in the act of storytelling they are touching, comic and resolutely hopeful. Come to one, two, or all three – but do come

to this truly unique collection by an ever-surprising international ensemble.

Alice Bell at 2.30pm

A fictional character born into a fictional conflict, Alice seeks happiness in a divided land, finding love and companionship but at a terrible cost. Part DIYmusical, part fairy-tale, Alice Bell offers a portrait of life as an act of hope, life as something to sing and dance about.

Daniel Hit By A Train at 5.00pm

Inspired by a Victorian collection of 53 true stories about people losing their lives in the act of saving another, Daniel Hit By A Train tells each tragedy in turn, in all their comedic, vaudevillian glory. Sincere but unafraid to raise a smile to these most selfless of souls Daniel Hit By A Train stands as a testimony to our abiding need to help each other.

The Festival at 7.30pm

The Festival is a love story told against a backdrop of the here and now. Recent public events cause a series of coincidences to alter a discrete private world to devastating effect.  As two lives cross at a festival of music and song a love story emerges that neither party can control or predict. The Festival speaks of a moment in a quiet life when suddenly all is changed, when a silent world begins to sing.
