Scottish company SUPERFAN are the winners of this year’s Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award for emerging artists, and present the resulting show, ‘Nosedive’, at the Barbican. A child climbs onto an adult’s shoulders and looks out, seeing hope but also destruction. One generation after another reaches higher, looks further, hurtling toward a future they can’t control. Directed by Ellie Dubois and Pete Lannon, this intergenerational show blends theatre and circus, and pits the instinct to protect the young against the wild abandon of childhood.
