Jon Welch’s new play delves into exciting dramatic territory.  A blisteringly toxic comedy that echoes Pinter and Beckett, this macabre puzzle is by turns surreally comic, disturbing and moving.

A man, not a particularly good one, waits for his lover outside an abandoned restaurant in a forgotten corner of town. It is raining. She is late. She’s never late.And then the restaurant door opens.Tonight he has a choice to make. Tonight there is only one dish on the menu…Chef’s Special

Heart-rendingly hilarious and rib-ticklingly poignant, Chef’s Special is a comedy musical cornucopia featuring song and dance, culinary percussion, and lashings of porridge!  Live music includes a heady blend of tango, opera and musical theatre.

“We are committed to producing new work, literary adaptations, and revivals of classic texts.  Our choice of projects is led by a search for material that will challenge us as artists and excite audiences both new and existing.  We have devoted ourselves to learning how theatre works, to discovering its essence.  We are passionate about exploring the connection between actors and audience.

With a simple and clean approach, our plays explore the emotional and psychological lives of characters within stories that are always designed to be relevant to our modern lives.  We are interested in how people live and behave, particularly when faced with extreme situations.”

‘People used to look for wisdom, and then they looked for knowledge. Now it seems that many just want information.’

In our often indiscriminate information heavy environment, cube aims to use our projects to promote a greater sense of social, cultural and historical knowledge and, most importantly, to foster a search for wisdom. Always focussing our outreach programme on our current project, we will look for ways of promoting self-discovery, empowering both children and adults with improved skills and understanding.

Our current project, hamlet, uses a play which has remained powerful and relevant after 400 years and delivers it in a dynamic form which will give exciting ways in to look at both aspects of our modern culture and of our psychological make-up, and to explore our relationships both public and private.

We are fully equipped to deliver our education work; each of our directors has depth of experience in a variety of fields and our education officer has been delivering education and training for 9 years. We will also make use of the special skills of a variety of practitioners chosen for the purpose.

Education work is extremely important to us for two main reasons: firstly we believe passionately in creativity and its effects in creating a better community; and secondly, because this enables to build great theatrically and culturally literate audiences for the future.
