Prayers and thoughts: The Inseparables @Finboroughtheatre

Image
The Inseparables brings Simone de Beauvoir’s posthumously published novel to life. It traces a lifelong friendship between Sylve and Andrée, two unconventional girls who grew up in a stifling world where being a woman meant getting married or entering a convent. With a quick pace and engaging performances from the two leads, it is a journey back into the 20th century that captures two unconventional women trapped in a conventional world that will have you reflecting on how much or little things have moved on in the last century. It’s currently playing at the Finborough Theatre .  We’re introduced to Sylve praying for her country, France, to be saved from the war and indoctrinated into the world of faith and obedience. But too smart for all that, her life was full of detached guilt and boredom. But when she meets Andrée, a new arrival at her school, she is struck by how different she is from everyone else. She was burned in a fire and had a passion for life that nobody else she knew...

Previews: Posters, pens and headphones @theotherartfair


Non Zero One are presenting a work at The Other Art Fair from 15th – 18th October.  They will be performing  Untitled (audio with pen) which is an audio-based piece.

Participants are told nothing of what they are going to do. Instead are asked when queuing for the fair whether they are curious...

They are then drawn slowly in, until it is too late to turn back, having to continually question how far they want to involve themselves and being encouraged to go beyond the traditional weird stuff set for both theatre and art fairs.

Hmmmm sounds like being a writer for theatre and the arts in the social media scene…


Anyway the Other Art Fair is celebrating its tenth edition this year and it will also be welcoming back Tracey Emin as a guest artist. Emin International will be launching two new limited edition prints (50 each) along with an exclusive poster (500 of them) available for £50, offering anyone the chance to own something and get it hand signed by the artist. One suspects crowd control and mass hysteria might also be part of the artistic experience there.

There will be 130 artists from around the world represented at the fair and it runs from 15-18 October at the Old Truman Brewery.
