Big Bang is CPT’s regular scratch night: an explosion of performance from which new universes of theatre may one day emerge. These jam-packed platforms are highlights of the CPT programme: the place to see wild and wonderful new projects take their first steps.
Each bill features three or four artists or companies performing 15-20 minutes of fresh-from-the-rehearsal-room work-in-development. (In the words of CPT's Front of House Manager Adam: it's like theatre tapas). They’re doing so because they want to know what works and what doesn’t, and they’d love you to tell them. So please join us for – and share your thoughts on – these exclusive previews of tomorrow’s most exciting theatre, today…
Stiff Drink - 20 mins
Stiff Drink is a dark comedy that follows three women as they each recount their experience at a house party gone wrong.
Often Has Trouble... - 20 mins
Often Has Trouble... is a non-verbal communication about what ADHD feels like in a body gendered as female. How do you solve and unsolvable puzzle?
What We Said To Danny In The Strip Club - 20 mins
Liverpool. A stripclub. A man called Danny.
This show is as much about two friends in pursuit of pleasure as it is the misguided assumptions of stripper performance.
Bad Attitudes - 20 mins
A scratch show about art, objectification and power. Myth, history and anecdote merge in a mix of music, mime and unsolicited opinions.
"CPT is a force for good... We as a community need this desperately at this time."
