ACT Foundation Public Show - THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT - Waiting list on door from 7pm La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler Directed by Ralf Higgins A gripping, deliciously dark, sexy, production of Arthur Schnitzler's classic play La Ronde brought to life and thrust into the modern day; presenting glimpses of life behind closed doors. Highlighting the shocking truth of society's seedy underbelly, dangerous liaisons, and happenings in a world divided by class. A 'through the keyhole' view of the intertwining lives of ten couples, this production will surprise and thrill, as they embark on a journey of deceit and betrayal. A young wife driven into the arms of another by her loveless marriage. Her husband, wine and dines a juvenile girl. A young gentleman taking advantage of the hired help. A count waking up in a prostitute's boudoir and much much more....

Fugee
by Abi Morgan The Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove, BN3 1AS Directed by Elaine Heath
Fugee: Slang for refugee of political oppression or natural disaster. Kojo is 14 but no one believes him; he's just one of the unaccompanied minors arriving in London, abandoned on the streets of the UK. Ara's from Baghdad and still hears the bombs at night. Cheung can do back flips and is from village in China that is more than a thousand years old. Orphans in London, they are the only family they have now. Together they tell Kojo's story: a story of lost childhood, tall trees and a murder in motion; a murder by a child that everyone says is a man.
