Malt Cross (downstairs)
Tickets: £5.50 or £10 for both of this day's MissImp shows

"Double bill - a horror documentary and a reimagined screenplay.

Being In the Dark
Do we fear the darkness or do we fear what the darkness conceals? Light is revealing but to light a candle is to cast a shadow. We stand on the edge of the void and ask you to walk with us...
Being In the Dark is an improvised documentary but about our world. We will take something of the mundane and use it as a window to somewhere far more dark and absurd. People desperately trying to escape an endless shopping centre. A cook book that compels you to cook non euclidean eggs. A Ghoulish cult that worships Radio 4. Normality is but a façade, we shall show you what lurks behind it...

Unspeakable Acts
A cinematic folly! A real movie script reinvented as an absurd, unfaithful comedy spectacle. The improv show that starts with a real Hollywood screenplay before diverging wildly into a whole new story. The audience selects the movie you most want to see mutilated and abandoned, and the team – who may never have even heard of it – will spin the tale. Absurd, unfaithful, funny and endlessly inventive, these are the stories we'll never see on screen."
