Talks, Events and Workshops - Pre-show talks

A series of pre-show introductory events to enhance your enjoyment of our plays. These include talks, readings and Q&As with special guest, and usually take place on the first Tuesday of each show.

The Infamous Brothers Davenport
Thursday 26 January 2012*

The Lyceum introduces the ‘magnificently inventive’ Vox Motus.

Vox Motus is led by the imaginations of Jamie Harrison and Candice Edmunds, who revel in macabre, intriguing and, at times, absurd stories. They love characters that exist on the fringes of society: outsiders, underdogs, dreamers and freaks. They collaborate with other passionate artists to bring together disturbing narratives, innovative design, baffling illusion, original music and intricate physical performance to make unique theatre projects. 

Before you delve into The Infamous Brothers Davenport get inside the heads of Vox Motus’s Artistic Directors. Discover where the company has been, where it’s going and what brought Vox Motus and the Lyceum together for this extraordinary production.
