Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff
Thurs 8 – Sat 10 June
Big Loop Theatre Company is a new Cardiff/Bristol theatre company who are endeavouring to create new, exciting and accessible theatre. They specialise in creating performance in intimate spaces using methods of play, poetry and physicality. Previous works include Moirai, which was at the Cardiff Fringe Theatre Festival and warmly received, while they also host creative events, like the A Little Nonsense exhibition at Little Man Coffee.
For their latest piece, they are headed to Chapter with Flowers, written and performed by Duncan Hallis and Cory Tucker, directed by Rosie Jones, and produced by George Soave.
Flowers promises to be a hilarious and anarchic display of distorted memory and lost loving families. This new company’s latest outing comes with a warning to keep the faint-hearted at bay (explicitly stating that it features, and I quote “naughty language and sexy themes”). The story revolves around Billy and Danny who are left to run the family flower shop when their parents mysteriously disappear. For Billy and Danny, it’s time to finally wake up, smell the coffee, and stop eating the flowers. Asking questions about memory, and family this is a chance to see completely original work from a new local company, featuring live music, improvised anarchy and puppetry.
