THE RIVER PEOPLE
LILY THROUGH THE DARK

A magical and macabre story - inspired by real events - about a little girl who loses her father. She is stalked in the waking world by shadows and memories until she makes the decision to go searching for him in the land of the dead. The River People use their own dark style of puppetry, live music and poetic language to tell this intimate story that explores death and the process of grief. The River People were named Best Emerging Company for this production at the 2009 Total Theatre Awards and also won the Edinburgh International Festival Award.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

24 June 1969. In a couple of months, the three day explosion of peace and love at Max Yasgur’s farm at Woodstock in upstate New York will take place - the greatest symbolic gathering of the Sixties. But a decade that reinvented society in radical and dangerous ways will soon be destroyed by events at Altamont Speedway in northern California and the hippy dream will be blown away forever in a brutal and dark murder, as The Stones look on, helpless. Across the Atlantic, an explosive mix of feuding generations, grinding social gears and altered minds is the crucible for Shakespeare’s most profound and sad comedy. England’s forests hold the darkest secrets and a generation faces its moment of reckoning as the ancient past of Albion comes out to play with the fracturing psyches of the present. This is who we were. This is where we’re going. And we’re not ever going back.

With a soundtrack including: The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash,

The Temptations, Jimi Hendrix, The Band, The Who, Bobby Dylan and many others, this is a Dream unlike other…
