Good Cop Bad Cop: Phantom Ride

Wed 23 - Fri 25 Jan
8pm
Mer 23 - Gwe 25 Ion

In the early 20th Century William Haggar, a travelling entertainer from Essex, settled in Wales and unwittingly helped to transform live entertainment into the ‘cultural industries’.

With their unique brand of ‘propositional performance’, Good Cop Bad Cop draw on Haggar’s long lost films to evoke an era of artistic and commercial experimentation. A time when films could be advertised by length in feet, a Burry Port shipwreck could pass as newsreel of the Titanic and assaulting the police could pass as a comic act. Things could have turned out very differently…

Commissioned by Chapter, Phantom Ride develops themes and ideas from the Experimentica 07 piece In a late change to the advertised programme.

£10/£8/£6

"It continues a long line of challenging, edgy, urban and urbane productions by this two-man combo who never fail to provoke, usually entertain and are never anything but totally bloody serious about the theatricality of what they do and, in a sense, of modern life itself." - Jon Gower
