Thurs 15 Sept 1pm & Sun 25 Sept 7.30pm You’re six years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy. You make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Never eat from a golden plate. Never sit on a throne. Never tell a lie. A light-hearted comedy based on a traditional Indian folk tale. Charandas Chor is the story of an honest thief. In return for a safe haven from the police, Charandas makes a set of bizarre promises to a holy man. He agrees eagerly, unaware that a string of unlikely events will come to pass, testing his integrity and endangering his life. Charandas exposes corruption and hypocrisy in the political and social elite, proving that despite being a thief, he is a more honourable man than those around him. This is a joyful, engaging and energetic play with a universal appeal. Striking a balance between cultures, this production draws influences from Indian costume and theatrical style, whilst integrating traditional folk music and dance from Lincolnshire, with a cast of European performers. It is a truly multicultural experience. Written by Habib Tanvir, Charandas Chor is an Edinburgh Fringe First award-winning play. Part of the Lincolnshire Diversity in the Arts: Research and Development project by University of Lincoln, and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Project codirected by Arya Madhavan.

Written and performed by Jon Spooner and Chris Thorpe Directed by Amy Hodge Friday 11 November 7.30pm Death is no longer a moment. It is a process. A process that can be reversed. CONCERTO Work In Progress By Michael Pinchbeck Two friends, talking (and singing) about what happens when we die, how we think about dying, and most importantly, how some of us might be brought back. Friday 4 November 7.30pm 24 Inspired by the composition of Piano Concerto for the left hand by Maurice Ravel and its commission by Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm fighting in World War One. Concerto explores how Ravel was lost in a forest for 10 days outside Verdun in 1914, inspiring him to write his most celebrated works. The audience become the orchestra. A conductor becomes an assassin. A pianist plays a piece of music that tells a story about disability, music, war and 100 years of history. “Michael Pinchbeck is a terrific theatre-maker.” THE GUARDIAN Supported by Attenborough Arts Centre (Leicester), Lakeside Arts Centre (Nottingham) and Lincoln Performing Arts Centre. Tickets: £5 All Tickets 12+ Running Time: 45 minutes (no interval) Filled with stories and songs about death and dying and about how we don’t talk about it enough.

Based on the original book by Collodi and performed by Vardimon’s multi-talented dancers, Pinocchio will bring to life the famous marionette as he embarks on a fantastic journey to become a human boy. Showcasing Vardimon’s uniquely theatrical choreographic and directional style, Pinocchio will combine physical theatre, quirky characterisation, innovative technologies, text and dance to examine the idea of what it means to be human. With an insightful humour, engaging drama and an acute observation of behaviour Pinocchio will take audiences on a wonderful journey of discovery through the parameters of this timeless and beloved fable. The Lie-in King presents his brand new show. However dishevelled he may be, the Foster’s Comedy Award nominee is also one of the best comics in the country. With a keen observational mind, Seann can spot the absurdity in everything and convert it to perfectly delivered stand-up comedy.
