Nabokov presents

Present : Tense / Eleven



April 19th 2009

Show starts: 8pm


The toughest creative challenge in town. Some of the UK’s most exciting talent has one week to respond to the most important news story of the moment.

A group of playwrights, directors, film-makers, poets, musicians and more convenes to select the most momentous story on the news agenda. They each have seven days to create a piece of work that responds to the story they choose before it is performed for you the public - exactly one week after they began.

And here's the frankly mouth-watering line-up:

** nabokov's co-Artistic Director George Perrin working with director Charlotte Bennett, lighting designer Tim Deiling and playwrights Tom Morton Smith and In-Sook Chappel


** Director Tara Wilkinson working with playwright Leo Richardson and choreographer Aline David


** Spoken word superstar [Verb] Swish working with musician and poet Sh'maya


** One of the UK's leading physical theatre companies Tangled Feet (Director Kat Joyce and performers Mario Christofides, Sara Templeman, Fiona Watson, Abi Hood, Jonathan Ellicot and Luke Gledsdale) working with musician from The Clock Opera Guy Connelly.
