Alp Haydar's Escape to the Future

Irrepressibly buoyant and infectiously tickled, you'd suspect Alp Haydar were having more fun than his audience if the response didn't prove otherwise. After tackling SuBo, burkas and giant swans in his last outing, he's back with a 'one-man pantomime' that promises to explore futuristic socio-political themes 'through belly-dancing, a robotic Chippendale and ambitious on-stage video visuals'. The mechanics of Haydar's shows are ambitious – occasionally over-ambitious – but go along for the ride and you'll be laughing.
