The Six O'Clock News
War against newly-independent Scotland? Flash floods? The sale of Newcastle to the Dutch?
Apart from Doctor Who, who knows what will be in the news on any randomly-selected day in the future?
Whatever the headlines that 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.
We promise we do not have a time machine.
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.
