SUMMARY:Biosphere at GenFest
DESCRIPTION:Olivia Foan’s BIOSPHERE is a new play about our relationship to nature\, technology and the planet we call home. BIOSPHERE will premiere in Foan’s hometown of Northampton as part of Royal & Derngate’s GenFest\, their annual festival of new writing\, on Friday November 21 at 7 PM.  \nPlaywright Olivia Foan was inspired by the infamous 1991 ‘Biosphere 2’ experiment\, in which eight crew members were sealed inside a vast Arizona biodome. The real-life mission\, intended as a prototype for establishing life on other planets\, slowly descended into disaster when the crew’s survival was threatened by the instability of their ecosystems\, and their own relationships. \nFoan’s new play imagines what such an experiment would look like today. BIOSPHERE is an exploration of our fraught relationship with nature and technology in the age of climate change\, asking vital questions about who holds the power to decide the future of our planet. \nBIOSPHERE is produced by Part of the Main\, a London-based theatre company creating work that is political\, provocative\, and accessible. It is directed by Part of the Main’s Artistic Director\, Olivia Munk\, and is funded by Arts Council England. This performance will be made accessible to blind and visually impaired patrons through audio description.

SUMMARY:GenFest 2025: MotherHood – by Claire Nelson
DESCRIPTION:A woman opens the door at two in the morning and tries to hang on to normal. Lisa doesn’t have the right words or know what questions to ask in this new world of crime and law. So\, what happens when doing the right thing isn’t the right thing anymore? This solo show explores the world of knife crime from a fresh perspective as a woman is forced to confront the unfamiliar world her son has collided with and compromise on what she thinks she believes in.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLot of legal stuff being said that I don’t even get and they ask if I’m an appropriate adult. Well yeah… I’m his mum?’Throughout all this\, however\, Lisa maintains a lively down-to-earth approach to life and the play aims to find humour in the most random moments as well as showing the impact on a mother trying to hold it all together.Based on real events and lived experience\, this story is told with an original soundscape created by In-Spire Sounds and the voices of young people who have developed music with them through the ‘Inspiring Change Through Music’ project.MotherHood is the state of being a mother\, but what if you’re a mother in a state?

SUMMARY:Theatre: Lovett at GenFest\, Royal & Derngate
DESCRIPTION:“Where was God when Mrs Lovette needed him?” \nNewly-widowed Mrs Lovett needs to find a way to survive. Using skills learned from a whaler father\, a courtesan mother and a butcher husband\, Eleanor “recalibrates” her life – and her relationship with God. \nAn original story set before her infamous partnership with Sweeney Todd\, we discover what would later lead her to turn pie-maker. \nYou may think you already know Mrs. Lovett\, but this new play explores what made her: the brutal choices and disappointments of a life in poverty. When the difference is life or death\, morality becomes a moveable feast – and \nEleanor is getting hungry… \nBoonDog Theatre is a multi award-winning collaborative theatre company based in the Midlands\, creating exciting new stories for the stage. \nA core team of Creative Director Lucy Roslyn and Productions Director Jamie Firth focus on making intimate\, character driven pieces working with a team of collaborators from various disciplines to bring them to the stage\, telling stories that start conversations that last long beyond the audience leaving the theatre. \nTheir work is almost always darkly comic\, always aims for the heart\, and what they describe as “covertly political”. Their work is led with a passion for detailed research when it comes to historical or psychological elements. BoonDog Theatre are proud to be Associate Artists of Royal & Derngate\, Northampton.
