A Tale From The Bedsit




Come in, kick back, take your shoes off, or keep them on, have a cuppa and make yourselves comfy.

This intimate and autobiographical coming-of-age tale by spoken word artist and writer Paul Cree set in his bedsit amongst the books, tapes and comics of his youth. Leaving the mundane monotony of his hometown for the bright lights of Brighton, a new job and his first love the world seems bigger somehow. A witty and honest tale that reminds us of our own journeys, mistakes and joys.

Reviews

 

"A Tale from the Bedsit by Paul Cree is hands down the best piece of spoken word I’ve seen all year."

No Milk For The Foxes

This is my first collaboration with director and actor Conrad Murray, under the guise of Beats & Elements. We first scratched back in 2013 at Battersea Arts Centre, then at the Brockley Jack and it is now in development with Camden People's Theatre and will be featuring on March 26th as part of the Sprint Festival


Since when did ‘salt of the earth’ become ‘scum of the earth’? Using MC’ing and beatboxing skills, two friends discuss whether it’s more important to aspire to a higher status, or accept your lot. Are those shiny earrings a mark of your personal style, glamour and beauty, or a record of your personal trauma?" No Milk for the Foxes interrogates class representation, asking questions about status, aspiration and standards using spiky language, humorous theatricality and bags of charisma to directly challenge audiences and their beliefs. Beats+Elements is a first-time collaboration between Paul Cree and Conrad Murray.

No Milk from the Foxes has been selected and will be introduced by CPT co-director Brian Logan, whose company Cartoon de Salvo performed their first show at CPT in 1998.
