Punk Sandwich II
Separate components that you wouldn’t expect come together in this fairly noisy mime show. Worlds collide and objects come alive, and there’s definitely birds of paradise this time round. Set over the course of one evening (or is it a lifetime?) your favourite characters are back for more absolute shenanigans. If you missed it last time, now’s your chance to not kick yourself twice. Nominated for Best Physical Theatre and Best Newcomer at the 2019 GM Fringe, you’ve got to see it to believe it.

Cruelty
Faceless Ventures presents Cruelty: An Artaudian elucidation of our internet obsession
One man’s dream is another man’s nightmare.
We live in a time of instant gratification. Through social and on-demand media, people are transforming into sick and repressed beings. Partnered with Mikey Stuart from The ScareTrack Podcast, Faceless Ventures have created a theatre to rid the audience of their technological subjugation and liberate each individual. There will be no barrier between performer and audience: You will see, feel, smell and taste the uninhibited, raw emotion of what will unfold around you.
“This theatre of cruelty truly immersed the audience in the story and made you question your own use of social media. The show would appeal to anybody who likes to get fully immersed in a concept.
If the show rears its head again I’d highly recommend going to see it and experience for yourself this theatre of cruelty.” – Scare DirectoryAfter our sold out premiere of the show, in a basement venue in Mexborough, we have been encouraged by our reviews and comments to bring the show to a wider audience. Cruelty is a 40 to 45 minute theatre of cruelty, which for those unfamiliar with Antonin Artaud, is designed to shock through gestures, image, sound and lighting. You will be immersed in the performance and encouraged to participate in the action unfolding before you.
“Though Cruelty tackled many aspects of society’s ties to virtual socialisation, it mostly landed on the concept of anonymity and how it can function as a breeding ground for negativity and hate. The idea that we’re somewhat divorced from our actions because we’re physically removed from their impact. What followed made me uncomfortable in the best kind of way.” – Scare Addicts
Using original music, an engaging script and a fabulous new cast, Cruelty will take you on a journey through the looking glass, where the everyday interactions we have online are brought to life and laid bare. Follow The Ringmaster on his descent into the twisted reality of our decisions, where all is not what it seems and the seemingly innocuous can be devastating.
Please note that ‘Cruelty’ is strictly over 18s – The performance contains strong language, nudity and contact between the audience and cast
This performance also features flashing lights and may not be suitable for those suffering from photo-sensitive epilepsy. - Fifty and Nifty

Fifty and Nifty
FIFTY AND NIFTY
By Beverley Green
“Age is NOT just a number”
“Fifty and Nifty” is a coming of age comedy with a difference.
Getting older doesn’t mean you have to put on a cardi, retire to the arm-chair and watch re-runs
from the good old days, and that somehow your knowledge becomes limited and, in some cases,
unwanted. “Fifty and Nifty” self-help group is a countrywide project, its aims to keep men and
women in later life active with classes that will promote self-worth and wellbeing. Marjorie Pardoe
however has other ideas. The self-appointed town matriarch runs the self-help group in her local
town, but the help she gives is a matter of opinion, and the only opinion that matters to Marjorie is
her own. Marjorie’s Group meet weekly, members come and go but Marjorie remains firm in her
beliefs, on how you should behave in later life. Dancing, sex and general fun should be replaced with
reading, needlework and setting out your funeral plan. Her comments are blunt but her tongue is
razor sharp and she takes no prisoners in this awkward but hilarious look at ageism and if you didn’t
know how to act when you came in you certainly will by the time you leave.REMEMBER MAVIS DIXON
By Andrew Husband
“The past is sometimes better left...well in the past.”Andrew Husband writes with great pathos in the story Remember Mavis Dixon, his work will have
you laughing and crying, Roger is happy, well sort of happy, living in his care home then he comes
face to face with someone significant from his past. Someone he’d rather had stayed in the past and
whose existence will cause trouble for his son Roger who might just have a secret of his own. - Fifty and Nifty

Danny and The Deep Blue Sea–
Danny and The Deep Blue Sea
Danny is a trucker who people call The Beast.
Roberta is a troubled young mother with a teenage son that her parents must now raise.
Danny and Roberta butt heads and egos in the Bronx before discovering through each other that there is a space for love in their lives. A dangerous and messy love, but love nonetheless.
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea touches the unspoken parts of our humanity: the violence, insanity, love and hate that can occur in the space between two people.
Writer John Patrick Shanley is an Academy Award winning writer (Best Screenplay, Moonstruck). He was also the recipient of an Obie Award for Playwriting, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award in 2005 for Doubt: A Parable."Confounds expectations and becomes a life-enhancing experience. A pair of stunning performances.." - British Theatre Guide ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
"An immensely intense and powerful piece"- North West End ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️"Drowning in despair one moment while gleefully flinging arms around each other the next. Powerful and affecting theatre once again from Play With Fire Productions." - Opening Night
- Woman on Fire
Woman on Fire
'Woman On Fire' is a new, original play by the highly-acclaimed, Certain Curtain Theatre , that takes you into the fiery heart of one of the most dangerous, strange and 'modern-women', in history. By turns, funny, sad, tense and outrageous - but always utterly compelling - 'Woman On Fire' separates the myth from the truth, to leave you amazed...and moved...
The story of Edith Rigby remains largely unsung. Overshadowed by the more vociferous Pankhurst women, Edith nursed a quiet fire. Yet, inside this calm, affable doctor's daughter, raged a flame that burned white-hot - against social injustice and a political system that denied women their most basic human right - the right to be treated as citizens, in their own land - by denying them the right to vote

Falling Stars Theatre Present: 'To Be Or Not To Be? Pergatory Is The Question.'
The scene is set, the story is well known, the outcome for most is death. It started with a son following his father’s instructions; it ended with 10 people dead in Elsinore and families torn apart. This is now the opportunity for recriminations and truth telling.
The scene is Purgatory, the story Hamlet’s. Can he forgive his father for taking advantage of him for his own personal gain? In death the conversation begins, a father, a son and a chance to reflect.

Green Door
True, traumatic, funny, ultimately triumphant. Green Door is refreshingly rich in humanity and humour, weaving a love of Shakin’ Stevens and shiny shoes into a disturbing story that affects far too many of us.
If you’re living a horrible life, why don’t you just change it?
Well, the trick is to recognise it’s horrible in the first place.
Backed by Arts Council England and The National Lottery, writer and performer Ann Brown brings her inspirational, true-life story to The Kings Arms for two nights only.
Undeniably brutal in places, Green Door is a story that will also make you laugh out loud – not least at some questionable dance moves – as Ann takes you on a journey that encompasses suffering, grief and fear, all somehow bound up with humour and, ultimately, the power of self-worth.
This story took its first tentative steps in 2018 as part of the Stigma showcase here at The Kings Arms and returns to the place of its birth as a fully developed one act play.
It is a must see for all mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, daughters and sons.Ann’sexperiences are not unique to her, you will recognise yourself in her words.
Come along to The Kings Arms on Friday 7th or Saturday 8th February 2020 at 7.30pm to find out how one woman’s eyes were opened to the truth of the life that she was being forced to live, and how each and every one of us has the ability to turn trauma into triumph. - Green Door
