SEPTEMBER 2010
HALF A PERSON
By Gavin Crippin. Presented by A' Rebours Theatre Company.
A' Rebours Theatre Company bring the play Half a Person to Studio Salford for their debut production in the space. Half a Person is the second play written by Manchester based writer Gavin Crippin. Previously performed in April to packed houses at Nexus Arts Café in the Northern Quarter, this production sees a slightly tweaked cast and a re worked production specifically designed for Studio Salford.
Jimmy’s convinced himself he can’t let go, so he can’t go out! It’s just now Katie’s found him, it doesn’t seem she wants to either!
When the only thing left to do just seems to be cutting yourself off from everyone, why is it that the right thing to do is actually let another person in?
Half A Person is a comic, disturbing and often very poignant look at existing on the edge of your own sanity when the worst possible thing that could happen, actually does.
"I don’t think anyone should be on their own; it’s not in our nature, is it?" – Katie
"Why would you say that?" – Jimmy.
"I just think everyone has a crux, and it’s usually someone else." – Katie.

OCTOBER 2010
UNDER MY SKIN
By Rob Johnston. Presented by Breathe Out Theatre.
A pitch-black comedy about guilt-free crime.
Will and Jimmy - two Salford boys at the bottom of the pile - have lost their moral compass. While waiting for it to turn up they decide to follow the example set by our illustrious politicians : it’s only a crime if you get caught!
"Guilt free laughs – 5 stars!" - remotegoat
"A show that knows how to draw out the humour in the darkest of human impulses. The dialogue is excellent." - The Liverpool Post
DIRECTOR: Brainne Edge. PERFORMED BY: Adam Davies, Andrew Sykes, Peter Carruthers, Ruth Piggott
