Heritage Arts Festival, 16th-19th February, Old Vic Vaults.

Rogues’ Gallery is pleased to announce The Folk Contraption as the first in a bumper crop of shows for 2012.

Come with us, we’ll tell you a tale, spin you a yarn, down in the heart of the city…

Gather round the storage heaters and we’ll tell you a tale…Join Rogues’ Gallery for an evening of stories, music, laughter and love as we journey through the city to find the beautiful, the black-hearted and the downright odd. The Folk Contraption is a new night; part play, part gig and part magical mystery tour. Rouse yourself with the Troglodytes Anthem, laugh at the Saga of the Soho Nose and lament the Lady and Matty G.

FEATURING:
Charlie Alderwick, Alice Bonifacio, Gwennie Chatfield, Aruhan Galieva, Andrew Hanratty, Ella Hickson, Jed Holden, Zosia Jagodzinska, Sam Lee, Rhys Lewis, Aoibheann McCann, Rachel Rose Reid, Willie Singerman, Joseph Strouzer, Eva Tausig, Jamie Tennent, Anna Wheatley

Musical Direction by Tristan Parkes
Designed by Cecilia Carey

In our first outing The Folk Contraption joins forces with some of the most exciting emerging playwrights including Ella Hickson and Rory Mullarkey to bring you an evening of vignettes teaming with the city’s stories. Throw in a motley troupe of folk musicians, storytellers and actors for a beautifully ramshackle evening unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
