| Synopsis | Theatre Souk will transform TheatreDelicatessen's home into a theatrical market place, filling its performance spaces throughout the four-storey building. From the toilets to the store cupboard the audience will be confronted with noise, mystery and a continuous shock to the system as each door opens to reveal something entirely unexpected inside, corridors, kitchens and toilets with interactive work, created by some of London's best emerging and experimental theatre makers. From puppet poker and a game show in which the audience member is the contestant, to intimate one on one performances, the original works all offer a unique take on the theme of money. Artists barter with audience members to come and see their work: choose from the twenty shows on offer or simply relax with a drink in the cabaret bar. In the midst of the recession, Theatre Souk prompts us to reflect on our money: how we get it, how we spend it, what it means to us, and how a new artistic economy might operate. |

| Synopsis | Set during a time of political change and economic hardship, this show with a live band pay tribute to Dury's anarchic spirit. It's 1979. Ian Dury and the Blockheads' new single REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (Part 3) is climbing the charts. Labour has just lost the recent election to the Tories. Vinnie and his mates are big Ian Dury fans and they'd do anything to see him at the Hammersmith Odeon. They don't have tickets and the gig's sold out - but then events take a surprising turn.. |

The new character is described as an 'inter-galactic showman' who is the Doctor's biggest fan. The stage show will follow Vorgenson on an inter-galactic journey as he summons monsters in his Minimiser for the audience to see. Matt Smith will appear as the Doctor in specially filmed sequences to be shown on a giant screen on stage (NOTE: Matt Smith will NOT be appearing live). Nick Briggs, famous for voicing some of the scariest Doctor Who monsters including the Daleks and Cybermen, is onboard to replicate his voice talents live on stage every night. Briggs will also portray Winston Churchill, who is summoned by Vorgenson through his Minimiser. (Please note that actors from the TV series will not be appearing live on stage. ) |
