What’s on at the Bush

LIKE A FISHBONE
by Anthony Weigh
7th June – 10th July

‘Anthony Weigh’s play is a gem…magnificent’  The Times

A remote valley. An unspeakable crime. A prominent architect is commissioned to design a memorial to the victims

On the eve of the presentation of the memorial to the public, a blind woman comes out of the rain and into the architect’s studio. She is the mother of one of the victims and she demands to be heard.

Over the next hour the two women do battle over what it means to memorialise the dead, what it means to be a mother and what it means to believe. Like A Fishbone is both a psychological thriller and a haunting puzzle about faith, compassion and the danger of telling the truth.

Anthony Weigh’s last play, 2,000 Feet Away, received its UK premiere at the Bush Theatre in June 2008.

Josie Rourke is Artistic Director of the Bush Theatre. Her previous directing credits for the Bush Theatre include If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet by Nick Payne and Apologia by Alexi Kaye Campbell.

COMING SOON…

THE GREAT BRITISH COUNTRY FETE
by Russell Kane, Songs by Michael Bruce
28th July – 14 August

Following on from 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover and suddenlossofdignity.com, this year’s summer romp brings you a field full of feisty fun and village politics.

A British institution – the country fete. Home to fascist jam makers, murderous marrow growers, ‘special’ Brownies and enough bunting to cause a national fabric shortage. It’s a pillar of country life, a melting pot of personalities, and the British summer wouldn’t be the same without it.

Join the Bush for a feted day. Skittles will scatter, some fruit will spoil, and someone will tread dog poo through the tea tent. Do not shy away, but come coconuting along to this irrestible summer punch of stories and song.

Russell Kane, famous nationwide for his Perrier award-winning stand up shows and his hilarious Fakespeare plays, teams up with award-winning composer and lyricist Michael Bruce and Bush Associate Director Anthea Williams (suddenlossofdignity.com and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover).
