The Station

Presented by Bash Street Theatre
Category: Touring Theatres and Fayres

Starts: Tuesday, June 10, 2008

 

Masters of physical theatre and silent movie stunts, the Bash Street Theatre company return to North Devon with this specially commissioned hour-long, silent show with a European flavour.

Set in a dilapidated railway station in the age of steam locomotives, The Station involves a gang of art thieves who are on the search for some stolen masterpieces which have been delivered accidently to a remote railway station. Be prepared for a dramatic train crash, a dare-devil rescue and some great comedy action, combined with an original soundtrack from this award-winning street theatre company.

'Based in Penzance in Cornwall, Bash Street Theatre has built an international reputation for inventive, fast-moving, musical, street theatres shows.

Since our first performance in Morlaix, France in 1991, we have created 16 different productions and torued to major festivals throughout the UK, as well as in France, Germany, Belguim, Holland, Luxembourg, Poland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Austria, Japan and Hong Kong.

In 2006, Bash Street won the Caixa Catalunya Award for the Best Street Theatre Show, at the Fire de Teatre in Tarrega, Spain, with their acclaimed silent movie show, Cliffhanger!

Our aim is to develop street theatre that is accesselbe to all ages, cultures and backgrounds.
