** Special Events - July 2008 **
Wednesday 9th
A night of hilarious physical comedy with Antonio Venturino in Dario Fo’s ‘Mistero Buffo’, a re-telling of traditional medieval mystery stories with a comic slant. Sicilian Antonio – one of the only two actors allowed by Fo to perform this piece, brings to life a mixture of bizarre characters and situations, from a buzzing fly to a papal procession. £5, 7.30pm
Thursday 10th
The Return of the Cyberpiper For 12 long years he travelled Europe, impersonating the Pied Piper of Hamelin, playing his flutes and pipes in the streets, in restaurants, on terraces and at weddings. Settling for a while, he developed a new, very catching, hypnotic kind of music, mixing traditional music with ambient grooves, combining 'Music of the future and music of the past'. The Cyberpiper seems to touch the nerve of the present. 8pm, £5 For more info, go to www.cyberpiper.com
