Description
Josh Coates & Nathan Birkinshaw present two pieces of theatre in the merrie city of Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Particles
Presented by Josh Coates
Particles is a humorous, playful one-man performance piece about hope and retracing the decisions that create who we are.
Standing alone onstage with just a microphone, Josh tells and retells a story about a man who faces decisions that will affect how his day will turn out. With each retelling, a different path is chosen and the story expands into a glorious cacophony of love and chaos. Between each story, Josh interacts with audience members to demonstrate how their decisions can affect their worlds; from deciding their favorite rice-based dish to their involvem...ent in the creation of the universe. With childlike glee, Particles encourages the audience to join Josh in an attempt to change the world.
"It feels light while touching on weighty subject matter and somehow, somewhere along the way, it cheerfully battles apathy with optimism" - Catherine Love, Exeunt

I WISH YOU WERE HERE*
by Nathan Birkinshaw.
‘I Wish You Were Here’ comically aims to look at loss, love and loneliness and what it means to let things go. Blending performance, comedy, video and movement. Mixing personal and fictitious narratives, he would like you know he’s sorry, he doesn’t want to be alone anymore, and he’d like to know what love is.
