In the evening TBCTV went out live, with two new performances: Beginning to End, written by Mel Brimfield and co-directed by Mel Brimfield and Chloe Lamford; and Elevenses, written by Tim Price and directed by Finn den Hertog. Both performances star Arthur Darvill and Inès De Clerq.
Theatre performances
Mel Brimfield, Beginning to End
Performances daily from 03 - 07 Oct, 19.30
Running time 40 minutes
Beginning to End is a cascade of interleaving monologues by a cast of rowdy TV stars, switching between several unsettling programmes.
A surreal set of encounters between the romantic leads of a soap opera collides with a spiritual guru leading a series of impossible-to-perform exercise routines. We fall into a rolling procession of increasingly bizarre product demonstrations, carried out by a pair of overly groomed presenters from a shopping network. As the action gathers pace, the space between the channels fractures and the jostling mob of disparate voices come together with unexpected results."
Tim Price, Elevenses
Performances daily from 03 - 07 Oct, 20.30
Running time 40 minutes
Chaos has descended on Britain’s most popular daytime chat show. The familiar presenters have been caught in an on-air catastrophe, so a new face is thrust onto what remains of the sofa, to reassure the viewers. All he has to do is keep things calm, but he hasn’t seen the guest list.
