The final show to be performed at Forest Fringe’s old home at Bristo Place, a delicate and heartbreaking elegy for a lost and ruined theatre, 30 Cecil Street is an original piece of dance-theatre from Dan Canham of Still House (Of Riders & Running Horses, Ours Was the Fen Country). A performance of fragments of memories, of wild nights and long-disappeared communities, it evokes the life of a once-mighty building and asks what is left when a theatre closes its doors to the public?

“Dan Canham raises ghosts in spine tingling dance-theatre piece,30 Cecil Street… exquisitely crafted, thoughtful theatre.” – Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (UK)
