The Coming Storm Forced Entertainment Tim Etchells (3)

"This summer international innovators Forced Entertainment explode audience expectations in a brand new work at the BAC as part of LIFT 2012. this darkly comic show is a sort of epic ghost story imbued with hints of amateur dramatics, puppet theatre, song and naïve dance.

This unwieldy narrative is absurd, contradictory and might fall apart at any moment as it is overwritten, reshaped and cannibalised. In a style as inventive as it is clumsy, wrong-headed theatrical tricks take their place alongside broken dances, live music (featured for the first time in the group's work) and increasingly frantic attempts to illustrate their blackly comic and haunting tale."
