An extraordinary 90 minutes of theatrical entropy. Tonight and tomorrow @AttenboroughCtr

[Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts @AttenboroughCtr]

An upbeat spectacle slowly breaking apart, ‘Signal to Noise’ by @forcedents summons a delirious late-night churn of fragments – dances, rehearsals, altercations, scenery changes & unexpected weather reports.

📅 23 & 24 Oct
📌 @AttenboroughCtr
🎟 Tickets: https://t.co/s3XsX3y5pC

[David Micklem @davidmicklem]

Hey Brighton and Sussex friends - I can't recommend Signal To Noise by @ForcedEnts enough. It's the extraordinary new show by Britain's most significant experimental theatre company in their 40th year. It's on at @AttenboroughCtr tonight (Weds) and tomorrow at 8pm. See you there.

A wonderful celebration, a fantastic show and this is a beautiful text.

[Forced Entertainment @ForcedEnts]

This year, 2024, we are 40. It’s an extraordinary record: six artists sustaining a unique partnership and creating work together for all this time. As part of our celebrations we are presenting a Season of Performances and Collaborations in London.

[Bert & Nasi @bert_nasi]

hot ticket!!! Tony Buck the legendary percussionist from The Necks & @Tim_Etchells @southbankcentre this weekend for two nights only - chaotic, mesmeric & thrilling - nothing less…

Fantastic to celebrate with the company and its supporters last night - 40 years of tearing up the rulebook.

[David Micklem @davidmicklem]

Super excited by collaboration between @Tim_Etchells of @ForcedEnts and Tony Buck @TheNecks

Writer and consultant, @DavidMicklem is Chair of Forced Entertainment's Board. For his #FERecall, he chose this powerful image from Bloody Mess and remembers the impact the show had on him.

“What’s the point of you Frank?” I shouted too loud in the back yard a week ago.

Delighted to publish a new short story - Until Death Do Us Part - a runner-up in last year's London Independent Story Prize.

A couple of years ago I discovered the delights of @LPBMagazine - a beautifully curated home for new writing and art. So it's a pleasure and a privilege to have my latest short story featured this month.

Brilliant as ever from ⁦@carolecadwalla⁩ I’m with the child-free cat ladies! https://t.co/YneUpgQWpS

Hey @TheNewsAgents Maybe I’m being simplistic but couldn’t Biden say I’m sharp and feel fine. But I understand that the optics are that I’m not. And so on that basis - the appearance of being unfit - I’m not standing again. So no debate about whether he can continue.

[David Micklem @davidmicklem]

Bloody love ⁦@ThisAmerLife⁩ and especially this episode. The story of two sisters is such a generous, honest and engaging account of family love and rivalries https://t.co/LsXUZu7Bkb
