Container is a multi-vocal performance exploring the violence and tenderness of living through catastrophe. Drawing influence from Robert Ashley’s television operas, Container makes use of overlapping choral narratives and live music to explore alternative treatments of text, voice, and storytelling.
Written and directed by Alan Fielden (JAMS), performed with Ben Kulvichit & Clara Potter-Sweet (Emergency Chorus), Nat Norland (Why This Sky), Jemima Yong (JAMS), and music/composition from Tim Cape (Bastard Assignments).

Programmed by James Nash: "I’m interested in text-based work that exists outside of narrative and is more interested in form, texture and provides an experience for audiences – something we don’t see nearly enough. Container and its polyphonic text exactly fits that ideal."
Great theatre, lovely young team, brilliant supportive diverse programming, the only theatre I can think of that is currently supporting so many theatremakers.
