The Coming Storm by Forced Entertainment at BAC Returns
The Coming Storm, by Forced Entertainment, at the Battersea Arts Centre (BAC), in south London, from 20 Nov to 1 Dec 2012.
"Using a method as inventive as it is absurd, six performers create, collaborate, ambush and disrupt this epic saga that is resolutely too big for the stage. The result is comical, contradictory and poignant; full of wrongheaded tricks, broken dances, sleazy drum interruptions and perfunctory piano accompaniment. Everything builds and everything shimmers. Everything teeters and everything trembles. Everything is reshaped and everything is cannibalised."
Directed by Tim Etchells, designed by Richard Lowdon, lighting by Nigel Edwards.
Starring Robin Arthur, Phil Hayes, Richard Lowdon, Claire Marshall, Cathy Naden, Terry O'Connor
