The Human Computer by Will Adamsdale. A Fuel Production.
12-15 May, 8pm

I’ve never had a happy time with computers. I’ve avoided them for as long as I could but recently this has become an impossible position.’

This is a show about computers, by someone who knows nothing about them. Lots of it isn’t about computers. It’s stories. It’s a cardboard cabaret. A skewed stand-up quest to the wiry heart of the cyber web, and into the reasons I once hit a 7 year old girl with a stick (I was 6 and she was annoying).

‘Poetic and poignant as well as extremely funny’ The Times

‘Adamsdale is creating a body of work that rides roughshod over the boundaries between comedy and theatre, making us laugh even as it asks the big questions’ Guardian

A BAC Scratch Commission.

Running time approx 1 hour 15 mins

Dash Dash Dash: Omnibus by David Gale
13 – 15 May, 7.30pm

Playwright David Gale, erstwhile writer for Lumiere & Son, after some decades in the scripting saddle, turns to a new performance challenge. Having toyed with the short form in his must-have text and image entertainment David Gale’s Peachy Coochy Nites, he will now test the possibilities of brevity to the limit. Dash Dash Dash is a grand theatrical experiment whose components are only twenty-five minutes long, yet whose impact will be feature length.

David Gale, working with a team of hot young theatre designers from Wimbledon College of Art, will write and direct a play a month for six months then combine the units into one final omnibus edition. The fractured, hilarious and melancholy works will stand alone nicely and combine with unanticipated precision for an Omnibus edition 13 – 15 May.

‘It is a rare pleasure to find a performance that is both technically superb and has the audience crying with laughter… The actors produce one of the finest displays of ensemble acting I have ever seen.’ Total Theatre

Produced in association with Wimbledon College of Art and commissioned by BAC. An Arts Council Lottery funded project.

Omnibus running time: approx. 2 hours 30 mins
