Loyal Women @ Pleasance Theatre

Loyal Women by Gary Mitchell
26 April - 5 May, 730pm @ Pleasance Theatre
Director: Stephen Wrentmore
Designer: Yu Kim Tan

This play tells about the women of the Ulster Defence Association profess political allegiance to the British monarchy and domestic allegiance to their menfolk. They are bound by an enforced code of warfare, not just against Catholics, but within their own ranks and they create an impression of a vengeful squad capable of violence and cruelty as repugnant as that of the men.

For those lucky folks who is at the Milan Furniture Fair this week, do make it a point to visit Outofstock's debut collection — Memento, to be presented at the Salone Satellite at Milan design week 2007, celebrates shared childhood experiences across the globe.

People grow up but their childhood lives in their hearts forever.

last time to experience…
Carsten Höller @ the Tate Modern
End this weekend 15 April

To date, Höller has installed six smaller slides in other galleries and museums, but the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall offers a unique setting in which to extend his vision. Yet, as the title implies, he sees it as a prototype for an even larger enterprise, in which slides could be introduced
across London, or indeed, in any city. How might a daily dose of sliding affect the way we perceive the world? Can slides become part of our experiential and architectural life? This free event is ticketed, so make sure you arrive on the day at 10am to ensure that you get a ticket. For more ticketing information, visit www.tate.org.uk.
