The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre
56 East Street Havant, Hampshire , UK PO9 1BS |
| Other Info | Tickets: £6 Ever wanted to get away from it all? Kieran is 27, and stuck in a dead-end seaside town. He wants to see the world, one exotic cocktail at a time. But not tonight, as there’s a gig on at Rileys bar and sambuca’s are half price. Paul is 50 and on the road again, a laid-back slacker in an old skool campervan. Trusting in tai chi and superstition, he’s on a very odd quest. Join this mismatched couple on their road-trip through austerity Britain, searching for the perfect holiday moment. Sometimes the past is the only thing you can’t leave behind. Artistic collaborators Simon Mole and Peader Kirk return to The Spring after last year’s Indiana Jones and the Extra Chair. They’ll also be taking their special brand of spoken word magic out into the community, running pop-up poetry events you can get involved in and working with local young people on a bespoke schools project. Look out for them at a venue near you! Co-produced by the Albany, Apples and Snakes and ARC Stockton. |

| Other Info | No More Worries Created by Simon Mole & Peader Kirk Co-produced by Apples and Snakes, the Albany and ARC Stockton Ever wanted to get away from it all? Kieran is 27, and stuck in a dead-end sea-side town. He wants to see the world, one exotic cocktail at a time. But tonight there’s a UK garage revival on at Rileys, and Sambuca’s half price. Paul is 50 and on the road again, a British Lebowski in an old skool campervan. Trusting in tai chi and the power of sevens, he’s on a quest to reconcile then and now. Join this mismatched couple on their road-trip through austerity Britain, searching for the perfect holiday moment. Sometimes the past is the only thing you can’t leave behind. This Is How We Die by Christopher Brett Bailey A motor-mouthed collage of spoken word and storytelling. Tales of paranoia, young love and ultra-violence. From the desk of Christopher Brett Bailey comes a spiraling odyssey of pitch-black humour and nightmarish prose. With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies, This Is How We Die is a prime slice of surrealist trash, an Americana death trip and a dizzying exorcism for a world convinced it is dying… |

| Other Info | “Ever wanted to get away from it all? Kieran is 27 and stuck in a dead-end town. He wants to see the world. Foreign suns, adventure, cocktails. Paul is 50 and on the road again, coasting, taking it one holiday snap at a time. No more worries takes this mismatched couple on a road-trip through austerity Britain until the land runs out. Sometimes the past is the only thing you can’t leave behind.” Combining spoken word, contemporary theatre and a live electronic soundscape, No More Worries reinvigorates performance poetry as its protagonists raise questions we all ask. What do I want to get away from? What will I return to? How do we get by? “Simon is one of the hottest new talents on the spoken word scene” - Aoife Mannix “Paints a portrait of England – a real document of this time” - Roger Robinson |
