The Tin Shed Theatre Company are bringing an engaging and comedic horror to Newport this June, envisioning their own desolate vision of the future. Based in a ruined dystopian city, an unusual duo run the last bar on earth, and are all set to meet the man who is held accountable for the nearing of the end. Setting out to explore the binding of chaos in the world, the performance attempts to question decisions made today, predicting consequences of modern politics intertwined with cult-iconography and a proven imagination thought. By employing their known morbid sense of humour, the Tin Shed Theatre Company present something claimed to be something evocative of the likes of Mad Max entangled with Waiting For Godot.
The Tin Shed Theatre Co. who are Justin, Georgina and Peter, have been self-producing, directing and performing their own work for the past six years. Known as being inspired by the weird and wonderful and producing highly energetic physical performances, a broader vision of theatre development is clearly demonstrated. Blending iconography with vivid and bold visuals transports audiences to places that make you question the real world, enlightening perceptions and raising cynicism all through elements of storytelling.
The group focus on creating varied experiences ranging from re-imaginings of existing work to the creation of new texts. This part theatre performance, part gig sets out an immersive atmosphere which allows for a distinct and rather uniquely interesting experience. Based on previous theatrical productions by the Tin Shed Theatre Company that explore contemporary themes intertwined with a unique vision, the audience can expect one of the most immersive and impressive theatrical performances in Wales today. You are cordially invited for a drink in Apocalypso – the last bar on earth, taking a hypothetical standpoint and consequently creating a one off performance piece. Join them for the party that must never end.
Apocalypso, Riverfront, Newport, Mon 19 – Fri 23 Jun. Tickets £12. Info: 016 3365 6757 / www.newportlive.co.uk
