Following the success of their Platform Peterborough season, Eastern Angles are delighted to be back in the city with their spring production, The Long Way Home.

During November & December 2009 Eastern Angles Theatre Company’s Peterborough-inspired double-bill, Lion & Unicorn and Lincoln Road, played to over 2000 people in more than 20 different locations across Peterborough including Arthur Mellows College and Fulbridge Primary School. Theo Devaney, who played the part of Gianni in the play Lincoln Road will join Jumaan Short, Susan McGoun and James Bolt in this brand new spring production - The Long Way Home.

Written by talented playwright Charles Way, The Long Way Home tells the story of an old woman who decides to walk home to the seaside village of her birth - a journey through dark woods, fertile plains and over snow-capped mountains. On the way she meets a wild dog-boy, played by Theo Devaney, and the two become unlikely travelling companions.

The Long Way Home will be performed by a cast of professional actors and directed by Naomi Jones who directed Eastern Angles’ successful Peterborough-based play, Lincoln Road.

Discounted tickets (£5 a head) are available for members of the local community at performances at Arthur Mellows Village College on Tuesday 9th March and Fulbridge Primary School on Wednesday 10th March. Ring 01473 211498 for more details.

This production will tour to over 50 different venues across the East of England between February 17th - May 22nd 2010.

BESTIVAL ANNOUNCES SOME VERY SPECIAL ACTS
Bestival.jpg

MUST-SEE PERFORMANCES FROM
The xx / Fever Ray (UK Festival Exclusive)  
 
VERY SPECIAL GUEST...
Richie Hawtin presents PLASTIKMAN LIVE 
 
Staying on course to deliver the closest thing to festival nirvana this side of rock n roll heaven, Rob da Bank and the Bestival crew are just too excited to be able to hold in the latest mega-mungus line-up announcement for our seventh outing any longer. With the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Flaming Lips, Hot Chip, LCD Sound System and Gil Scott Heron already out of the besti-bag, we have got some absolute belters joining the bill for the first Robin Hill Country Park adventure of the teenies!
 
Rob da Bank says: 'OK, check this out for a triple whammy - my joint favourite band of last year The xx playing what will be a very rare UK festival appearance on our very own Isle of Wight, the audio-visual phenomenon that is Fever Ray with her ONLY UK festival this year and to cap it all one of the most important electronic wizards about, Richie Hawtin bringing his Plastikman guise to the Big Top. Selfishly these are three of the most played artists round the da Banks’ at the moment and if you don't already own all the music get it now and get ready for September!'
 
Winners of a truck load of coveted accolades, including The Guardian and Rough Trade Shops’ Album of the Year, for their sublime debut album The xx will be taking the ferry to the Isle of Wight to blow you away with one of only three UK festival appearances this year that will see them baring the spellbinding lyrical interplay and evocative riffs that have deservedly made the masses fall head over heels for them. Aside from blowing us all away in the Big Top on Friday the band will also be loading Saam Farahmand’s groundbreaking, super-future 'xx: a Sculpture of the Album'; a 3D physical interpretation of their music, into their van. Utilising film, light and sound via three specially created audio-visual units this will play all weekend in Bestival’s very own permanent cinema onsite ... and you won't see it at any other UK festies!
 
Fever Ray aka Karin Dreijer Andersson took time out as one half of lauded cult Swedish duo The Knife  to release one of 2009s most incredible and beguiling albums, so were over the moon that she will be making a UK festival exclusive appearance at Bestival this year. Famed for mixing off-the-wall performance art with her truly stunning vocal stylings and a penchant for dressing up - check the footage of her accepting an award at a recent Swedish awards ceremony here - Fever Rays appearance is certain to be unlike anything youve ever witnessed before.
 
Bestivals late night contingent will be ecstatic to witness a solid gold techno deity if ever there was one as Richie Hawtin presents PLASTIKMAN LIVE in one of only two English shows. Were anticipating a mind-meltingly good time as the visionary master explores the extreme realms of interactive musical communion re-imagining the 18-year history of his peerless PLASTIKMAN material. Everything is reinterpreted through the capabilities of modern technology as Hawtin explores the connections between sight, sound and shared experience, incorporating state of the art visual architecture, interactive technology and more to be revealed. Challenging the senses and stimulating the deepest party sensibilities, PLASTIKMAN is legendary and we just cant wait to see him. Its going to be massive.
 
And don’t forget! Coming soon we have the grand reveal of our fantastic fancy dress theme and some truly jaw-meets-floor type performers that we guarantee will make you do a little dance of joy when you find out who they are! So, keep checking http://www.bestival.net for all the action.
