The Futures: Utopia / Dystopia season
welcomes three amazing productions that
explore our possible futures. From the
apocalypse to time travel, these three shows
will have you on the edge of your seat and
dive you into the fountain of cosmic
knowledge.
Pay What You Decide (PWYD) is a great way
to see theatre, whether you are a regular or
just testing the water. Quarterhouse want to
encourage more people to see exciting new
work, and PWYD not only allows you to pay
what you can afford, but also removes the
financial risk of paying for a show in advance,
when you’re not sure how much you will
enjoy it.
So how does it work? Tickets can be booked
in advance for free and after the end of the
show you will be invited to pay what you think
the show was worth based on your experience.
There is no minimum or maximum charge,
so if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t
We Can Time Travel
have to pay anything. If you loved it, you can
pay as much as you like. All of the money
collected after each show will help
Quarterhouse pay the visiting artists, so if you
enjoyed the show then please give generously.
The first show of the series is Heads Up on
Thursday 1st March at 7.30pm and comes from
multi-award-winning writer and performer,
Kieran Hurley. Hurley weaves a tale of a
familiar city at its moment of destruction,
asking what we would do if we found
ourselves at the end of the world. Gripping,
intense and performed with razor-sharp
precision, Heads Up is a unique and thrilling
experience.
Prepare to reassess reality with Quarterhouse’s
second PWYD show, 600 People, on Friday
23rd March at 7.30pm. Somewhere between
stand-up and an astrophysics lecture, 600
People explores how we think about evolution
and intelligence, belief and invention,
communication and space travel. It’s a show
that explores the stories we tell in order to
understand our place in the cosmos.
For their third and final event, Quarterhouse
present multi-award-winning musician and
theatre-maker, Dom Coyote with We Can
Time Travel, on Friday 20th April at 7.30pm.
Join Dom for an experiment in ‘Harmonic
Time Theory’ to prove, once and for all, that
time travel is real. Jump into his world of
analogue synths, cassette tapes, live looping,
epic storytelling and roaring songs to raise a
rallying cry for the present and change the
course of time.
PWYD tickets are available for all three
performances now. There are no hidden fees
and no catches, just book your free tickets in
advance and after the show you can Pay What
You Decide.
