Supernova premiered at VAULT Festival for a short run in March 23. Although it only ran for three days, it was incredibly well received, garnering five stars from The Reviews Hub and Lost in Theatreland and a beautiful write up from There Ought to be Clowns and was nominated for the Vaults ORIGINS AWARD - Awarded for outstanding new work from the Theatre & Performance programme.
VAULT Festival marked the end of its decade-long run at its original venue, The Vaults on Sunday 19th March, bringing to a close a record-breaking year which welcomed more than 81,000 audience members throughout its eight week run.
Entering the VAULT Festival is like stepping into a small pocket universe. Once you are inside The Vaults, you are in a place of arts and acceptance, where people in drag mingle with businessmen after a busy day of working and performing, with shows where women attach steaks to their labia and cabaret performers dance all in the same night.
Queerstory the Musical is a fantastic show that is both hilarious and informative. Mercury and Maxim do a wonderful job of combining humour and music while also remembering those who lived before us, fighting for queer rights and standing up for who they love. I look forward to attending more lectures with Professor Maxim and Mercury in the future!
The Freshwater Five is a show that may have a powerful message, but it is buried beneath layers of confusion that are never unravelled. Audience members shouldn’t have to do their own research to figure out the basic information a show is based on - I’d much rather a show has too much exposition than not enough.
Villain, Interrupted is a fun show that gives the “villains” a chance to shine while also looking at the psychology in a world in which those who have powers are feared, separating the world into “us versus them”.
Criminally Untrue: An Improvised True Crime Documentary is a hilarious show that will leave you wanting more from PillowTalk Theatre. Oldfield and Treen have directed a fantastic cast of improvisers that will bring a little bit of “organised chaos” into your life, creating the crime story of the decade.
Film Club - An Improvised Comedy is a show that may have been better with a more enthusiastic audience and a funnier genre of movie, as the “conmen thriller” really failed to get many laughs from the crowd. While the Film Club seemed enthusiastic, it also felt as though they failed to blend their characters together into a funny storyline.
