We have a last minute opportunity for 10 people to come and see DESIGN FOR LIVING in rehearsal TODAY!
The show is in week 3 of rehearsals so it is a fantastic opportunity to have sneak peek half way through the process before anyone else has seen it.
Written by Noel Coward, directed by Anthony Page and starring Tom Burke, Lisa Dillon and Andrew Scott this provocative play (originally banned in the UK) returns to the London stage for the first time in over 15 years.
The open run will be today, Tuesday 24th August at 15.00 - 17.30 and will take place at the Old Vic Theatre
Spaces are limited so it will be a first come first serve basis.

How are you with heights?
That feeling of climbing, step by step, taking you higher, always higher – taking it to the edge?
Some people can’t do it, need to stay on the ground.
Vertigo they call it. They think it’s the fear of heights, the fear of falling.
It’s not. Vertigo’s not the fear of falling, it’s the fear of the desire to fall.
That feeling when you look over the edge and you want to go, you feel the pull to go, your body wants to go – or is it your mind?
TICKETS ARE FREE - RSVP COMPULSORY
To book please email Stuart Grey at stuart@cardboardcitizens.org.uk

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Thread
We have an opportunity for some lucky people to come and see the DESIGN FOR LIVING dress rehearsal in the day before the opening night!
The show is opening this evening, Friday 3rd September, so this is a unique opportunity to see the finished production before anybody else!
Anthony Page directs Tom Burke, Lisa Dillon, Andrew Scott and Edward Dede (New Voices Club Member, 24 Hour Plays: OVNV 2006) in Noel Coward’s wickedly witty dark romantic comedy, which returns to the London stage for the first time in over 15 years.
From 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of Manhattan society, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between a vivacious interior designer, Gilda, playwright Leo and artist Otto - three people unashamedly and passionately in love with each other.
The dress will be today, Friday 3rd September at 14.00 - 17.00 and will take place at the Old Vic Theatre
Please RSVP to Hannah Putsey new@oldvictheatre.com

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Thread
Sorry, just found out about this - still one day to go!
Royal Opera House

Deloitte Ignite 2010
Music, Art, Dance, Theatre, Film, Forest
A three day festival of Contemporary Arts 3-5 September
12noon – 6pm for free daytime events on 4, 5 September
The award winning Deloitte Ignite returns for its third year. This year the curator for the Royal Opera House’s contemporary arts festival will be internationally renowned pianist, composer and auteur Joanna MacGregor.
For the 2010 festival Joanna has taken her inspiration from forests: forests as a place of quiet, reflective beauty, mystery and discovery, as places of fairytale narrative, as well as metaphorical spaces. She has invited artists to create forests all over the Royal Opera House in different materials: recycled and reclaimed wood, organic materials, old costumes and mannequins, shimmering projections and reflecting pools. There are films, music and dance performances, soundscapes and installations. In amongst the forests are hints of the forthcoming Season, as well as echoes of Covent Garden’s old flower market. Each space is designed so that you can enter at any moment and stay for as long or as little time as you would like with performances recurring throughout the weekend.
By day, there will be contemporary, forest-inspired installations to explore: an epic Floating Forest in the Paul Hamlyn Hall, of organic materials and projections, from a quartet of award-winning artists and filmmakers; opera designer Dick Bird’s mysteriously playful Reclaimed Forest in the Linbury Studio with the child friendly Fall Forest from Mark Simmonds in the Linbury Foyer; and theatre powerhouse trio Richard Williams, David Collis and Janey Gardiner's surreal, fantastical Faded Forest of discarded opera costumes and mannequins in the Crush Bar. Kathy Hinde’s poetic, inter-disciplinary installations Piano Migrations, One Thousand Birds and Dancing Cranes colonize a darkened Pit Lobby and other spaces, while the spooky Ghosts and Mirrors in the subterranean Supper Rooms enact echoes of operas. And, as a more permanent artwork, the brilliantly gifted Anglo-French artist Alice Anderson creates a special, fairytale installation of hair in The Link.
In the Clore Studio Upstairs, the distinguished writer and cultural historian Marina Warner will host Into the Woods, a series of films, animations and performances exploring the light and darkness of fairytales, with live music from WARP artist Mira Calix and the remarkable Eastern European duo Alexander Balanescu and Evelina Petrova. There will be a Forest of Metronomes with one of György Ligeti’s most famous pieces, Poème Symphonique. Filling the air around the Royal Opera House are live and digital forest soundscapes from sound artists Matthew Fairclough and Scanner, and spectacular performances, in and amongst the forests, from Balinese Gamelan orchestra Lila Cita with Lila Bhawa dancers, percussion outfit ensemblebash, and operatic ambushes from Royal Opera House Jette Parker Young Artists.
There will be specially-staged contemporary dance from Phoenix Dance Theatre, and new dance works from The Royal Ballet and Royal Opera House Associate Artists.
