An extraordinary 90 minutes of theatrical entropy. Tonight and tomorrow @AttenboroughCtr
An upbeat spectacle slowly breaking apart, ‘Signal to Noise’ by @forcedents summons a delirious late-night churn of fragments – dances, rehearsals, altercations, scenery changes & unexpected weather reports. 📅 23 & 24 Oct 📌 @AttenboroughCtr 🎟 Tickets: https://t.co/s3XsX3y5pC

Hey Brighton and Sussex friends - I can't recommend Signal To Noise by @ForcedEnts enough. It's the extraordinary new show by Britain's most significant experimental theatre company in their 40th year. It's on at @AttenboroughCtr tonight (Weds) and tomorrow at 8pm. See you there.

Good timing. The Guardian on fabulous trip The Necks just as my improvised collaboration w the band’s percussionist Tony Buck hits the Purcell Rooms @southbankcentre in London. Performances tonight and tomorrow 12/13 Oct at 7.30. No falling asleep.

A wonderful celebration, a fantastic show and this is a beautiful text.
Here's my short text from last night's very fine celebration of @ForcedEnts 40th in the brutalist basement, following Signal to Noise at @southbankcentre. Thanks again to all who were at the show, was a real joy.

This year, 2024, we are 40. It’s an extraordinary record: six artists sustaining a unique partnership and creating work together for all this time. As part of our celebrations we are presenting a Season of Performances and Collaborations in London.

Hey @TheNewsAgents Maybe I’m being simplistic but couldn’t Biden say I’m sharp and feel fine. But I understand that the optics are that I’m not. And so on that basis - the appearance of being unfit - I’m not standing again. So no debate about whether he can continue.
