The Six O'Clock News
Trump indicted? A final capitulation of the ice caps to the sea? Jacob Rees-Mogg for Prime Minister?
Whatever the headlines on performance day, Daniel Bye and a team of emerging artists and companies will digest and respond to them for your viewing pleasure, creating an evening of urgently topical contemporary performance about the big issues of today.
Not yesterday, today.
The Six O'Clock News is a rolling rapid-response project. Working with a team of emerging artists with a relationship with the host venue, I work for 2-3 days to create new theatrical shorts in a variety of forms. The show tends to sit as part of a longer residency, often in a double-bill with one of my other shows.
