A Curious Evening of Trance and Rap with The Ogden Sisters
Is there anybody not quite there?
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, step into our parlour. We welcome those who have trodden this earth before and we welcome those who are treading it for the first time.
But what, I ask, have you come to see? You don’t know. We don’t know. But what we do know is that nobody knows.
The Celebrated Ogden Sisters invite you to quench your lust . . . .
for the Truth.
After huge success with the Charity Shop Cabaret, Trifle Gathering Productions bring you their new show... direct from the other side.
A new play by Nick Whitby (Smack the Pony, Eddie Izzard, C4 , Sam Mendes and the Donmar Warehouse) and Kyla Goodey (Kneehigh, Miracle, Trifle Gathering, Red Ladder, Cube and Hoodwink).
This original piece of work is an intimate theatrical experience looking into the fascinating world of mediums and the origins of the spiritualist movement. Travelling back in time to a darkened room set in 1892, hand picked brave observers will dress in victorian bonnets or facial hair and join the world famous Ogden sisters at their table as they present the MARVELLOUS, the MYSTERIOUS and the SPIRITUALLY PECULIAR.
Spirit seekers will watch on as the whole room embarks on a surprising journey where they will feast on cottage pie, get shot at by an Anatolian and witness the powers of trance dance.
A dark tale of three broken sisters unveil as an audience voyage to the physical realm, through the etheric region and right up to the brass knocker of a portal door.
”Tonight spirit seekers we shall embark on a journey into the unknown and we shall only get there if you open your minds, hearts and eyes.”
These three hilarious Victorian medium-sisters will be touring the length and breadth of the country. Drawing together clowning, choreography, magic, animation and deeply tragic comical characters. This show is an absurd and all-embracing experience laced together by a wild yet poignant story.
Sit back, grasp your neighbour firmly in the darkness... and prepare yourself for a ride!
