Talking Birds braved the cold and made a small theatre piece during their month's residency:

CAPSULE - a chamber show for an audience of six

·float·sink·hide·find·blast off·touchdown·sabotage·freefall·land·dock·
·piece together a story told predominantly through sound·

This show is a bit of an experiment. We've had the space for the month of November, and this show is what we have made during that month. It might be a bit rough round the edges. We might ask you for help...

We'll also be testing the first version of our digital access tool, THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE, so if you have a smartphone, please bring it with you but keep it turned to silent.

Audience comments about CAPSULE:

"Capsule was great – very engaging, truly unpredictable, and with a masterstroke in getting the visitors to become active...the narrative was evocative and intelligent."

"Coming to your shows makes me reluctant to go to ‘normal’ theatre, because sitting in the chair is not enough anymore!!! You make it worth it for me to keep coming to Coventry!!"

"That was really unexpected! Very cool idea - and I really like the space. I wasn't sure of the direction it was going in when watching it but then of course it made sense, and I'll be pondering this for a while."

"Absolutely Lovely a real surprise!, I feel like a kid, don’t know what to expect, what to do with this feeling now the show is over ! Made me really smile inside. Total Joy !"

"Go Talking Birds! Most fun I've had in a theatre for ages. Cunning and warm hearted...and recycled too."

 "Glowing from the most enjoyable theatre for years. Talking Birds offering us delights, invite us to share their concoctions... the biggest theatrical surprise I've had, and that is only half way in!"
