Sell a Door Theatre Company GHOSTS Monday 14 & Tuesday 15 October, 7.30pm Pre-show talk: Tuesday 15 October, 6.30pm -7.00pm, with Dr Nigel Ward, Course Leader for BA (Hons) Performing Arts. Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. Helen Alving is trapped in a world where the dead ideas preached by Pastor Manders rule outright, and her own familys insidious legacy threatens scandal. She is desperately trying to conceal her husbands philandering past by building an orphanage in his name, under the pastors guiding hand. But the celebrated return of her estranged son Oswald brings Helens ghosts back to haunt her, and all hopes of success are reduced to ashes. Though penned in 1881, it is not hard for us to see the parallels in our own society; the pious leaders of the past replaced with our own custodians of the status quo, and money their new religion. Suitable for ages 10+ Tickets: 12.50 (10.00 concessions, 8.50 student/child)

Shakespeares supernatural tragedy is presented in a nightmarish new reading by Sebastian Rex. A violence of sleep-deprivation and guilt are brought to life using choreography, physical theatre and an acerbic new voice. The themes of greed and megalomania are showcased in the original Shakespearean language with modern-day additions as a timeless Macbeth feels the vice-like grip of past sins, and the harrowing consequences of murdering sleep. Reality and hallucination merge in this astonishing piece of theatre. Suitable for ages 12+ Contains some violence Tickets: 12.50 (10.00 concessions, 8.50 student/child)

Uncanny Theatre INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BETTER LIFE Friday 18 October, 7.30pm This is all about us, everyone that is, thinking that something is true when it isnt. Its a true story.

The rules are simple, and with a little luck youll be all right. Then again, why should you believe us? Suitable for ages 12+ Tickets: 12.50 (10.00 concessions, 8.50 student/child)

The Seventh Billion Citizen Ruskin Gallery Wednesday 30 October Thursday 14 November Private View: Thursday 31 October, 5.00pm This video project is a response to the announcement by the UN, which drew attention to pressing issues surrounding the rapid growth of the global population.

The project seeks to convey awe and tranquillity, collectivity and isolation. It seeks to address the ambiguity of our era which the force of the UN announcement seems to hinge upon: the concern for the individual, in the face of overwhelming societal challenges.
