Presented by Shoreditch Town Hall, Gate Theatre, Notting Hill & LIFT. Produced by Shoreditch Town Hall as part of LIFT 2016

A man with a nosebleed appears, possibly from the near future, to tell us something. Microphones crackle and break. Signals get scrambled and transmissions glitch. OBIE award-winning creator and performer Andrew Schneider brings YOUARENOWHERE to Shoreditch Town Hall from New York in a co-presentation with the Gate Theatre, Notting Hill and LIFT.

YOUARENOWHERE is a rapid-fire existential meditation, blending physics lecture, pop culture, personal revelation in a shifting landscape of sensory overload to short-circuit preconceived notions of individual perspective and what it means to be here now.

A new immersive play about the things we hold onto, their value and how they tell our individual stories.

Through an intimately personal, fly on the wall experience in Urban Locker’s self-storage building, the show studies how we accumulate objects, the meaning that we place on those seemingly banal belongings and how they can give us a sense of home.

Location This performance does not take place at Shoreditch Town Hall – it is at Urban Locker, just off Old Street, London. The audience will meet at The Draft House near Old Street Station prior to the performance: The Draft House: 211d Old Street, London, EC1V 9NR.Urban Locker is fully accessible but please be aware that this is a promenade performance so the audience will be moving around without seating for the duration. Please email [email protected] when booking your ticket if you have particular access requirements and we will make every effort to accommodate you.

Handle With Care is a co-commission between Harlow Playhouse, The Lowry, South Street Reading, The Lighthouse Poole and presented by Shoreditch Town Hall. Dante or Die are really excited to be collaborating with Urban Locker to present this show.

ANALOGUE

SLEEPLESS dates: Thu 1 - Wed 14 Sep times: 7.30pm tickets: £15

A woman lies awake. Pupils like pinpricks, skin saturated in sweat, the odd jerk of a muscle. She hasn’t slept for 3 months. She knows what is happening to her and there’s nothing she can do. Cosima Trevisan gets a phone call. Her mother’s body has been discovered in her car in the North Sea. Her neighbours say she had been acting strangely, and the last person to hear from her was a doctor she had never met.

Cosima and Dr Graham are left to discover what drove her to commit such an act. Set against the backdrop of an unfolding mad cow crisis, their search takes them on a journey through history and a race against time to find the cause and cure of a rare genetic disease.

Inspired by the remarkable true story of a family and the disease that has cursed them for generations, SLEEPLESS is the new show from Analogue, a company with a strong reputation for their multimedia performance style that combines powerful storytelling with rigorous scientific research.

A television journalist and a politician clash live on-air. What begins as a traditional interview slowly unfolds into a waking nightmare. A trap has been set: which side will walk into it?

RACHEL MARS OUR CARNAL HEARTSdates: Mon 26 - Wed 28 Septimes: 8pm tickets: £12.50

A Welcome! To you and to me and our sticky, spikey, shameful bits!

This fairy comes round your house. You, she says, are in luck. Ask for anything you want. Anything in the world and I’ll give it to you. But whatever you ask for, your neighbour gets double.

Our Carnal Hearts is a gleeful, thrilling and murky celebration of envy, competitive spirits and all the times we f*ck each other over. Performed with a live surround-sound choral score, it is born from the suspect parentage of an ideological rally, a drunken sing-song and a seductive dream.

Compositions and arrangements by Louise Mothersole (Sh!t Theatre)

THE RUBY DOLLS THE BRIDES OF BLUEBEARDdates: Thu 29 & Fri 20 Septimes: 8pm tickets: £12.50

It’s about control, female transgression and the consequences of both. With jokes. Through original songs and the music of Nick Cave, Amy Winehouse and Rage Against the Machine, four women tell you a disturbingly familiar story. Are you sitting comfortably?

£15 & £13 (conc); £15 (schools)

There are 74 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare - 75 if you count the black ill-favoured fly killed in Titus Andronicus.

From the Roman suicides in Julius Caesar to the death fall of Prince Arthur in King John; from the carnage at the end of Hamlet to snakes in a basket in Antony & Cleopatra. And then there’s the pie that Titus serves his guests.

Spymonkey will perform them all - sometimes lingeringly, sometimes messily, sometimes movingly, sometimes musically, always hysterically. The four “seriously, outrageously, cleverly funny clowns” (Time Magazine) will scale the peaks of sublime poetry, and plumb the depths of darkest depravity. It may even be the death of them.

Adapted and directed by Tim Crouch (I, Malvolio, An Oak Tree, Adler & Gibb), The Complete Deaths will be a solemn, sombre and sublimely funny tribute to the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

A Spymonkey co-production with Brighton Festival and Royal & Derngate Northampton.

After rising to fame as a contestant on BBC talent show I’d Do Anything in 2008 Samantha Barks has wowed fans and critics alike with her stunning voice and captivating performances in film, theatre and television. She has since undertaken starring roles in the UK touring productions of Cabaret and Oliver!

It was Barks’ performance as Éponine in the West End production of Les Misérables however that led to her first movie credit, reprising the role in Tom Hooper’s Oscar winning adaptation. Showered with critical acclaim, she was nominated for a prestigious Screen Actors Guild Award and announced as Empire Magazine’s Best Female Newcomer.

Taking inspiration from her roots in musical theatre, while incorporating modern influences, Barks will be heading out on her first solo tour to coincide with the highly anticipated release of her new album.

Named Best Duo at the 2015 BBC Folk Awards, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker have risen from the London acoustic circuit to become the most acclaimed new artists on the English folk scene.

Their music is characterised by lush chamber ensemble orchestrations and Ben’s intricately expressive guitar style, centred on Josienne’s exquisite and emotionally affecting voice. Her often devastatingly sad lyrics and the death-laden nature of the traditional songs they interpret are contrasted by a self-deprecating humour that’s delighted audiences wherever they’ve performed, be that on the main stages of the world famous Cambridge Folk Festival or the prestigious Purcell Rooms on the Southbank.
