Hyde and Seek
Cube Theatre
When a famous politician is murdered on the streets of Soho, the police investigation leads to a London theatre. Stage Door man Albert knows more than he is letting on. But is he prepared to betray the man he so admires? Based on R.L. Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this theatrical tour de force blending comedy, storytelling and song is a dramatically thrilling and genuinely scary night out. The classic story of the duality of man's nature is skilfully depicted by prolific actor Ben Oldfield, who plays not only Jekyll and Hyde, but also a host of supporting characters.

Hoover the Dog
Sirius Music
Welsh borders trio Hoover the Dog return to Carn to Cove for a one off evening of a bluesy sort of Cajun, folk and traditional music. Fiddler John Hymas' classical, European and jazz influences dominate the Celtic-ish repertoire with a few English traditional tunes thrown in for good measure. The result is wonderfully original. A mainly instrumental set features the virtuoso combination of Hymas' strings, the athletic accordion of Paul Hutchinson and guitar/bouzouki man Tony Harris' light, fluid finger rings. Exhibiting bags of technical brilliance and the gift of making music clever and funny at the same time - much cheeky time change and manic modulation - the music ranges from stylish and understated to gutsy and gleeful.

Madame Lucinda's Wonder Show
Rogue Theatre
"Madame Lucinda's Wonder Show" follows the unusual stories of its three acts; Sirus (The Man Who Knows), Svetlana (The Living Doll) and Lo-Lo (The Clown). Journey through the doors of the imagination into a world of mystery, spectacle and horror. Based on poems and text written for the Wonder Show by Anna Maria Murphy (Kneehigh Theatre, The National Theatre, BBC Radio 4) and combining Rogue's daring style, Madame Lucinda's Wonder Show beautifully blends the innocent with the macabre, optimism with the inescapable and the real with the fantastical. Madame Lucinda's Wonder Show stylistically borrows from the 1920's Side Show and finds itself somewhere between the worlds of Tim Burton and The Wizard of Oz .
