Part of the London International Mime Festival

Chinese-pole acrobat and video artist Joao Paulo dos Santos teams up with roller-skating musician Guillaume Dutrieux in this exciting exploration of different artistic worlds, horizontal and vertical, visual and sonic, real and virtual. There's beauty and physical risk-taking, superbly accomplished circus artistry and stunning video imagery, all prompted by a live, Miles Davis-like soundscore played in and around the action.

Trying to fit the London Community Gospel Choir into a neat slot at the Corn Exchange is virtually impossible. They are adaptable, flexible and create dynamic melodies with rich harmonies whether they are performing as an octet or a 30-strong choir.

London Community Gospel Choir is known for their funky gospel flair, swing-beat, R'n'B, traditional and soulful arrangements, with invigorating choreography and vocal gymnastics.

On a roof top in West Side, Manhattan, three friends watch as Sputnik flashes across the sky heralding the dawn of a new era. With all the idealism and exuberance of youth, they look forward to a promising future - “Our Time”.

Twenty five years later life and frustrated ambition have taken their toll. In Bel Air, California, Charley, Frank and Mary reflect on their life journey and the changing face of friendship. As the cynicism of middle age is stripped away, they remember how things used to be: “Our dreams coming true, Me and you, pal, Me and you!”

"It is almost 2 years since Jill Fraser asked me if I would do one more musical at The Watermill. I promised I would. Much has changed, of course, but I wanted to keep my promise. I thought long and hard about a musical that would reflect all Jill may have wanted to say and how it could be said. So, with the blessing of writers Sondheim and Furth, this poignant and funny musical, is coming to The Watermill.”
