3 - T1373821509On November 10th 2007, at the Ibero-American Summit in Santiago, Chile, King Juan Carlos I of Spain interrupted Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, as he hurled invective at Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodruiguez Zapatero. The king loomed into Chavez' eyeline and said "¿Por qué no te callas?" ("Why don't you just shut up?") This statement was interpreted variously as an insult, a "verbal slapdown", and undoubtedly the coolest thing the Spanish King had ever done. What does this event tell us about the state of political discourse? Is it more important to make column inches than a coherent argument? Tom Wateracre of Pegabovine finds out using only a guitar, three singers to play Prime Minister Zapatero, President Chavez and His Majesty King Juan Carlos I (all women) and the Theatre503 stage.Producer Upstart Theatre. | |

2 - T0504031539Upstart Theatre presents the second in a series of evenings of daring, entertaining, and politically aware theatre exploring the faultlines between the present and the past. Throughout the ages, people have written letters to each other, constantly longing for an understanding of the rules and randomness of human existence. Stamped 27th October brings to vividly theatrical life the moments of summer apple picking and fatal idealism, joyous reunions, crushing defeats and longing for love in the letters of the Pastons to the Mitfords and Surrealists, and especially of people in conflict in different times and places, all written on the same late October date. Six actors move, dance, sing and speak to the music of time, in Lydia Ziemke's highly theatrical exploration of the gradual progress of human understanding.Producer Upstart Theatre. | |
