And there it is again, the diamond doorway
And here it is again, the rhyme with answers
If you can, figure it out
I've been here before and I didn't buy the answer
I just found a way
It's not like that this time, coz I'm sure
That everything is just running its course
A lifetime, a dreamtime
And he's lying there almost motionless
Got a world around, gonna show him love
I've got things to solve, I've got things to see
Got to work out now how to take my thing
To the next stage
And still create
And not suffocate
And all time will gather, around, and surround
In laymen's terms
And there it is again, there's talk of a revolution
Is it evolution?
So sit down and hold on tight
Coz there ain't gonna be no fight in my story
Coz my conviction
Is my own
I believe that everything just comes and goes around my friend

Declaration 2018 Tour Trailer
A fun, frank and fearless journey through ADHD and Mental Health
Instinctive, curious, bold and bouncy; Sarah is a mighty proud square peg, which wouldn’t be such a problem if the hole wasn’t so damn round.
Sarah grew up feeling different. Her childhood doctor thought it was sugar. Her current doctor thinks its ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). Sarah still feels different, so what will a label do? Will it change the way you see her and the way she sees herself?
Developed in consultation with medical professionals, ADHD and mental health support groups, Declaration examines when we want, need or are forced to declare our differences, and the faces we wear to fit in.
With autobiographical storytelling, comedy, and conversations with audiences, Declaration takes you on vibrant and daring adventure.

What's the Matter? Trailer
What’s the Matter? by The Last Baguette theatre company
A quantum comedy about love in the subatomic world
As seen at the British Science Festival, a sci-fi adventure through the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics. Featuring physical comedy, scientific slapstick, and a search for Schrodinger’s cat. Be prepared for a very silly show about a very intelligent subject.
An unexplained cat theft from a physics laboratory leads scientist Smithy on a journey through his own experiment into the subatomic world. The situation becomes charged and it is impossible to stay neutral. Can he find the cat and win over his colleague Sarah in the process? Will the outcome be positive or negative?
The Last Baguette makes fast-paced, irreverent comedy theatre, and after performing in France, Switzerland and Canada, are now company in residence at the Pound, Corsham. What's the Matter? was written by Tiffany Woodsmith (winner of the Sunday Times playwriting award 2004, dramaturg for The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha - The Stage Award winner 2014), directed by Susana Alcantud, devised by the company.
Original OHP artwork by Rosie Fossett.
What’s the Matter? is a highly entertaining piece of original comedy theatre. It’s captivating whether you know nothing about physics, or everything - Sophie Moysey, Pound Arts
Made at the Pound, Corsham with support from Dr Helen Heath from the University of Bristol.

You know I woke up and I wondered
I'll let the day take its shape and its form
And I whispered my ambition
I never felt this strong before
And it's your company that lifts me
And it's your sweet love that feeds my soul
It was your patience that I tested
I don't want to test you know more
And if you feel like I do
And if you breathe with me
Then no time has been wasted
You only get pleasure after pain
You only get sunshine after rain
You only get what your heart contains

The Remains of Logan Dankworth (trailer)
Logan Dankworth, columnist and Twitter warrior, grew up romanticising the political turmoil of the 1980s. Now, as the EU Referendum looms he is determined to be in the fray of the biggest political battle for years. Meanwhile, Logan’s wife Megan wants to leave London to better raise their daughter. As tensions rise at home and across the nation, something is set to be lost forever.
The third of Luke Wright’s trilogy of political verse plays looks at trust and privilege in the age of Brexit.
“Poet Luke Wright doesn’t mince his words. His performances rumble with rage, passion and humour. You will leave his show brimming with energy, heart pounding and brain whirring.” The Guardian
