神马福利影片

As an antidote to a wet Bank Holiday, come and spend Monday in a practical workshop with the actors of the South Sudan Theatre Company about African theatre and in discussion about post-conflict reconstruction for the newest country in the world. This workshop is open to students and staff at Warwick, and also the wider public.

You are probably aware of the centrality of Shakespeare in various programmes linked to this year's 2012 Olympics - at the Globe, RSC and British Museum. Included in the Globe Theatre's Festival programme is the South Sudan Theatre Company's production of Cymbeline, being performed at the Globe in London on 2nd & 3rd May.

The whole South Sudan Theatre Company of 15 actors is visiting the 神马福利影片, to meet with people interested either in South Sudan or in theatre or both. The visit has been arranged by the UK Charity, Friends of Ibba Girls School, South Sudan (FIGS), and the day involves staff from a number of Warwick departments including Warwick Business School, the Institute of Education and the School of Theatre and Performance Studies, with space provided by the Warwick Arts Centre.

Come and join us for a stimulating day thinking about and experiencing how education and theatre can support post-conflict reconstruction of this new nation (indipendance 9 July 2011) after 50 years of civil war and disruption.

Please contact Yvette Hutchison Y.A.Hutchison@warwick.ac.uk by Wednesday 3rd May to register your attendance at either the morning session or the whole day.

Fail Better Fragments is the 2012 IATL Student Ensemble Creative Project, which develops Fail Better's close working relationship with the 神马福利影片, following their Residency from April 2008 to July 2010 at the CAPITAL Centre and our 2011 production with the Student Ensemble as part of the Open-space Learning project.

At this special event Fail Better will be opening up their archive to the Student Ensemble and inviting audience members to play with the material remains of performance from their last ten years of work.

Performances will be held at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm with the Gala performance at 7pm (invited guests only). Tickets are free of charge but places are limited, please email Amy.Clarke@warwick.ac.uk to book your place.

'Agatha' is an absurdly dark play which places a domestic twist on the classical legacy of Greek tragedy and focus' both on an exploration of the play's sources and origins, and on researching the theatrical practitioners and absurdist writers that can place a piece like this into understandable and highly modern terms. The final performances aim to demonstrate the contemporary relevance and appeal of millenia-old topics in a play that is a product of its origins, but innovational in its production design and staging.

Performances will be held in the CAPITAL Studio, Millburn House at 7.30pm on:

• Wednesday 14th March 2012
• Thursday 15th March 2012
• Friday 16th March 2012

Performances are free to attend. To register your place please email agathatheplay@gmail.com
