Company Gavin Robertson in association with makin projects present:

ROBERTSON’S ‘CRUSOE’ : ‘NO MAN IS AN ISLAND’

 

A visual fable about hope, courage and redemption!

Performed by Gavin Robertson this is a new solo show for 2010…

 

… a layered piece that parallels the classic novel by Daniel Defoe, ‘CRUSOE’ tells the story of one man’s isolation after the end of his relationship.

Devised by Gavin with his unique physical style and attention to detail this is by turn chic, contemplative, entertaining and uplifting.

 

Also available for selected UK and International touring:

 

2010: A SPACE ODDITY takes us into the world of science fiction, cult movies, and spoof!

 

Two men are trapped in a kitchen in a HAL of their own devising…. Together they rage against the machine that rules their existence. Arthur C. Clarke is nowhere on the horizon …and in space, no-one can eat ice cream!

 

Two men, one kitchen, and every cliché under the sun:

‘My God –it’s full of stars!” (well… two actors and a fridge anyway!)

 

From Company Gavin Robertson - following recent tours of Spittoon (‘Theatre at its brilliant best’ The Guardian) … and A Grimm World (‘literally never a dull moment’ Time Out)... comes a brand new physical COMEDY !

 

Teaming up with Jonathan Bex (‘Don Carlos’ [West End] and RSC), 2010: A Space Oddity is every space movie you’ve ever seen in an hour and a bit!

 

‘Gavin Robertson performs with a subtle conviction that is compelling to watch’ – The Guardian

 

‘Careful observation and sheer skill!’ - The Independent

 

‘A physical perfection that gives you the chills’ – Zwolle Courant (the Netherlands)
