Intimacy can sometimes come as a bit of a surprise when attending a concert, it can be a little daunting to see the performer’s eyes so close up, to be sat within a few feet of the fingers dancing on the strings and catching the reflected light from the stage all around you as if watching a shadow play; it is to be thought of daunting but one surely dispelled quickly and instead thought of as a privilege instead.

When the end of the world comes, you really do have to is start Living a Little, for who knows just what awaits you as the moments tick down, as the warning signs of imminent death come crashing too close to home and the final desperate leap of hope disappears off into the sunset. To do is surely the only sane thing to do in a world that has lost all reason.

Cast: Yuuya Ishizone.
The secrets that come out in the dark, when you are lost in the remoteness of the both the wilderness and the mind, those are the most comfortably haunting secrets to be revealed, they are the ones that others cannot walk away from so easily or be refreshed by the day time sun; the finest and most damning secrets are always best revealed when lost.

Canada always seems to hold an affinity with most people round the world, possibly because of its laid back approach to life, the sincerity and friendliness of its people and the fact that it is so vast, arguably so much more natural, less spoilt by human progress; it is a terrain built on the rugged and intrepid, the explorer and the indomitable, it is a country that produces absolute stirring stories.

Cast: Ed Macarthur, Tom Black, Nina Shenkman, Charlotte Merriam.
Civilisation is dead, it has been washed away in a huge flood and humanity is on the verge of extinction; it is not all bad though, there are still four human beings left alive in a pedalo, four human beings from very different social backgrounds, four separate personalities and outlooks. Let’s face it the future, unless they can come to some sort of compromise as they float on the high seas, unless they can agree on the prospect of their lives, then humanity is as washed up as seaweed on an icy shoreline.

If you had the bitter choice of appearing to lose face or losing the respect of someone you love, which road would you take, which option would you endure as you sweat behind the curtain, as you drown in the first beads of self pity and anxious reproach?

Mean, moody, a man with more chips on his shoulder than N.W.A. had hits in the U.K. and one man you wouldn’t want to cross or exchange a dirty look with…of course that’s the interpretation of the comedic genius that resides deep in the heart of one of the most cheerful and amiable men arguably in the world today.

The allure of the Edinburgh Fringe is such that no matter where in the world the theatre company or performer is based, the call of the Scottish lowlands and gentility of Edinburgh is never too far away. Especially when it offers a perspective of a composer of such repute as Chopin but told with great nerve to highlight his time in the country before his early passing from Tuberculosis, such is the effects of Chopin’s Last Stand.

Cast: Ivan Barnev, Stuart Crowther, John Hannah, Heidi Niemi, Jonathan Rhodes.
The strains of The Last Waltz, perhaps the loneliness of Nearer To My God Than Thee or the finality of Autumn should with illusion be observed and be heard as the lives of four alcoholic tramps living the same existence day in, day out on the railways is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of another, a man who can see their lives and the fantasy of humanity’s deception that lives in them all
