Black humour at Warwick Arts Centre

Forced Entertainment, which brought Void Story and The Thrill of it All to the venue earlier this year, will perform their new work, The Coming Storm, on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The play will involve a tangling and cross-cutting of multiple stories to make what the company is promising to be a compelling and unstable performance.

Using a method as inventive as it is absurd, six performers create, collaborate, ambush and disrupt this epic saga that is resolutely too big for the stage. From love and death to sex and laundry, from shipwrecks to falling snow, personal anecdotes rub shoulders with imaginary movies, and half-remembered novels bump into distorted fairytales.

Audiences can expect the result to be comical, contradictory and poignant. Under the artistic direction of Tim Etchells, The Coming Storm will present Forced Entertainment’s trademark black humour - a collage of arresting images and an anarchic performance style.

Performances of the play, which is suitable for people aged 16 and over, begin at 7.30pm on both evenings and there will be a post-show talk on Tuesday.

Tickets cost from £9.50 to £16 (plus booking fee). Call 024 7652 4524 or go online.
