Theatre

Zadies Shoes

About: One of the most successful Canadian plays of the last few years, Zadies Shoes tells the story of Benjamin - a compulsive gambler who's just lost the money for his girlfriend's trip to an "alternative" cancer clinic in Mexico. With only 72 hours to win it back, a desperate Benjamin finds himself at synagogue for the first time since his Bar Mitzvah, praying for a miracle or a winner. What he gets is rabbi "prophet" Eli, who, along with rabbinical advice, gives him a warning about cabbages and a hot tip on a horse!

Who is in it: Leonard Fenton, probably best known for his role as Dr Legg in Eastenders.

Where: The Finborough Theatre. 118 Finborough Road, London SW10 9ED

When is it on: Tuesday October 7 - Saturday November 1 2003

About: In the sixteenth century Prague Ghetto, a 'living man' is made from clay to protect the Jews from persecution. It is THE GOLEM, the legend that has inspired doo-cot's brand new piece of compelling visual performance that touches on madness, illusions and delusions. It is universal in its quest - the oldest cloning story. Using puppetry, music, words, film and software, doo-cot creates moving pictures and strange visions of tawdry beauty.

Where: Drill Hall Arts Centre, 16 Chenies Street, London, WC1E 7EX

When is it on: Sunday 19 October - Sunday 2 November 2003
