Session 4

The Nose That Nobody Picked by David Parkin - Extract

A surreal, ripsnorting yarn for all the family with songs…and snot. Christopher, a keen but unorthodox gardener, finds a living nose raised by slugs in his garden. In their hunt to find Little Big Nose a face they encounter Doctor Skinner, an eccentric plastic surgeon, who has connections with the nose's past and sinister intentions for its future. Expect mountains of mucus, toe tapping tunes and two nostrils full of magic.

Elephant and Castle by Tom Adams and Lillian Henley - Extracts

‘The first thing I said to Lillian in my sleep was “I want to get in a wardrobe and take you to Elephant and Castle.” She was slightly alarmed.’ That’s the dangerous premise behind Elephant and Castle, a new, experimental, funny show that springs from three years of recorded sleep talk. Using live music and extracts from those recordings, Elephant and Castle is a Gig Theatre show about how honest it is possible to be and have your relationship survive.
