TOP LINE UP OF TALENT FOR HULL TRUCK’S SPRING FESTIVAL!
Monday 26th – Saturday 31st March

Tickets are selling fast for Hull Truck Theatre’s Spring Festival, which is packed with an eclectic mix of drama, music, comedy and dance. The week-long programme of entertainment is guaranteed to please all tastes and leave audiences wanting more! It showcases a selection of the country’s top artists, and comes hot on the heels of last year’s Autumn Festival which proved to be incredibly successful, with a huge demand for tickets.

The festival boasts the triumphant return of comedian Daniel Kitson whom The Observer describes as ‘a masterpiece of stand-up,’ and it sees popular Lucy Porter back at Hull Truck, performing her show ‘The Good Life’ after a sell-out season at the Edinburgh Festival.

The acclaimed Fecund Theatre Company presents Special, a contemporary love story about two people connecting through an intense sexual experience, ‘celebrating man as warrior and woman as goddess’. Fecund which performed at Hull Truck in the autumn of 2005 is regarded as one of the country’s most avant-garde theatre companies. The performance contains scenes of a sexual nature and violence, and is suitable for adults only.

Hull Truck has teamed up Wilberforce 2007 to present with The London Shakespeare Workshop in Black Atlas celebrating the bi-centenary of the signing of the Act of Abolition of Slavery from the British Empire. Performed by a mixture of professional actors and ex-offenders, it tells the tale of two slaves in Regency England. One is taught to read and the other isn’t.

The Red hot talent continues to unfold with Subitango combining the passionate dance and music of Tango Argentino, in a show which illustrates the development of this artform. The show sold out at Truck in 2005 and is back by popular demand.

The Black Umfolosi 5 make a welcome return with their harmonies and captivating dancing including the gumboot dance of South Africa in a show which the Yorkshire Post praise for its “‘feel good factor with a capital ‘F’.”

The exciting production The Two Bum Bun from Moby Duck, ( the creator of The Tiger Trail and Granny Vampire) blends story-telling puppetry and dance combined with music and wild exotic humour! The production is suitable for families and children age four plus.

Booking is well underway for this not-to-be missed festival which has something for all the family!

Hull Truck will be announcing acts for its 2007 Autumn Festival in July.
