Sure to grab your attention . . . 8pm, Monday May 6th Trades Hall Bar FREE Event - donations to SKA TV more than welcome BED presented by Syntax Theatre Company Do you know what you "Nana" is doing tonight? In one giant BED lay seven elderly people, all tucked in tight. As all seven drift in and out of sleep, all is not as it seems behind their elderly facade . . . Transported back to their youths through their dreams. Mundane situations become surreal, even the simplest task of getting a glass of water becomes a great "Great Escape". BED offers a visual feast of exotic bra jugglers, acrobats and a traumatic voyage under the sea . . . all taking place in one BED! "Jim Cartwright is one of the mavericks of British theatre" - Daily Telegraph "Cartwright writes better about old people than anyone I know, except perhaps Beckett.
