The full programme of 207 different shows can be viewed online now.

Here at CPT we're hosting twelve shows details of which can be seen below:

4th - 8th August
7.45pm Tom's Presented by Sketty
Tom's is a devised piece that fuses new-writing, movement and puppetry to tell the true life story of Tom, a young man who, after a life-altering snowboarding accident, loses the use of his entire body from the shoulders down and is forced to rely upon the love, support and devotion of his partner, Ellen, to triumph over seeming impossibility. Using a life-size puppet to convey paralysis, the piece captures the needing to change, after having to change.


9.15pm A Season Before The Tragedy of Macbeth Presented by British Touring Shakespeare
An exciting new play by Gloria Carreno which is set immediately before the events of Shakespeare's classic tragedy Macbeth. Authentic writing in the style of Shakespeare himself combines with painstaking historical research into the period concerned to shed dynamic new light on the characters of this well loved classic.

9th - 13th August
7.45pm The Ghost of Hiroshima by Gennys Pérez Presented by Actors of the World
A contemporary Latin American play full of passion, magic and humour. After a devastating terrorist attack, Eva is left with David hanging from a skyscraper without any memories. Together, between life and death, they rediscover their surprising pasts and wonder if it isn't too late to choose a different path.

9.15pm Casa - Home Presented by Lumenis Theatre Company
A theatrical dance piece choreographed by Annarita Mazzilli. Big heavy coats come to life... characters go through individual jurneys... sense of belonging and what makes a place home are questioned. A mixed ensemble of professional and non-professional dancers and actors explore cultural identity and alienation.

14th - 17th August
7.45pm Spun Presented by Hithertogoes
Spun is a piece of experimental theatre following fantastical characters through dialogue, physical theatre, and sound. Bringing a children’s drawing to life in a colorful cardboard set are women trapped in this imaginary place. They negotiate their world of people present and absent. Whilst deliberately playing on language, movement is used to express what words cannot.

9.15pm The Perfect Party Presented by Fizz Bang! Productions
Philip and Philippa try to host a wonderful birthday party for their young son. However, badly-set jelly, allergic reactions, and unfortunately chosen entertainers put paid to their plans! An adult comedy that should strike chord in anyone who has ever aspired to host the perfect party.

18th - 21st August
7.45pm Candide Presented by Teatro da Curva (Turnabout Theatre)
The Brazilian company Turnabout Theatre brings the fascinating journey of Candide, a young man that although living the most catastrophic situations believes that the world is as good and peaceful as it could possibly be. Voltaire's Candide questions, through a rather ironic and acid humor, the ever hypocritical side of human values.

9.15pm Titus Andronicus Presented by Hephaestus Productions
Shakespeare's twisted, macabre and occasionally humorous look at the conflict between national loyalty and family love. Come see this highly charged, fast paced production, not for the faint of heart.

7.45pm A Broken Part Presented by Big Odd
A visceral theatre experience about A Portuguese Queen who defies her husband by walking the streets to feed her people. One day, caught by her husband whilst hiding bread in her apron, she lies telling him she carries roses and when she opens the apron the bread had been transformed.

9.15pm Paul McCartney is Dead Presented by Broken Glass Theatre Company
"Until you understand why Paul is Paul, you won’t be able to understand why I’m Simon." In a derelict house where jars of pickled objects press against the walls, two brothers are haunted by conspirators and ghosts. Theatre and music combine to tell a dystopian ghost story set in a world where music is forbidden. From the company behind 'The Golem', Camden Fringe '09.

26th - 29th August
7.45pm The Iliad Presented by Drunken Masks
Drunken Masks present Homer's epic tale of war and its consequences, brought to life through precise yet passionate physicality. Prepare to be transported to the planes of Ilium by three performers fusing words and movement, to enact this masterpiece of Greek literature. Physical storytelling at its best.

9.15pm Failing Narcissus Presented by Black Dog Theatre Company
In the party resort of Malia, Crete, the PR, the club 'Malibu's' representative is struggling to contain sobriety. All about him the revellers loose themselves in the sun, the sex and the drink. For them the mania, the carnival, is an escape, for him it is the unveiling of a condition.
