This Might Hurt // 3 Nov

Greatness. Is there any price too high? Exquisite puppetry, physical theatre
and circus artistry throw petrol over the flames of this modern re-telling of
Marlowe’s hellish tale of pride. Devilish neon puppets wander the stage in
this visceral and physical re-imagining, as under the straining tent poles of
the world’s most famous circus, Dr Faustus employs the one show tactic
not yet undertaken to achieve glory: black magic.
8pm. Price: £12.50
The Marlowe Theatre, The Friars, Canterbury CT1 2AS

Crafts For Christmas // 4-6 Nov

When tough actor Jack Skipton returns from filming to care for his ageing
aunt, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. But this might be his
most taxing role to date, as he begins an incredible odyssey through the
NHS, from cancelled GP’s appointments, wrongly booked scans, frustrated
consultants, and abusive home carers, who smoke on the door step! Jack’s
story is hilarious and heartbreaking, as he and his aunt take on the health
service in order to get the right diagnosis, and the right care; as he goes
from actor to carer to drugs consultant, and she refuses to admit that she
is even ill. Told in a bold physical theatre style and with breathtaking grit
and honesty, Godber’s take on our health service is both tender and true,
as he investigates what we deserve, and what we receive. Take a deep
breath, because This Might Hurt!
