Project Adorno: Dennis Potter in the Present Tense

TV dramatist and playwright Dennis Potter was the ultimate Marmite figure one minute delighting millions with musical plays such as The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven, the next causing outrage and controversy with productions such as Blackeyes and Brimstone & Treacle. In this ambient performance piece, electro-pop duo Project Adorno present a contemporary interpretation of Potter, the man and his work, charting his journey from a small mining community in the Forest of Dean to international mass media acclaim - and ultimate redemption. The piece is a cubist biographical sketch told through live songs, electronic music, original video footage and pre-recorded voice extracts from people who knew or had some connection to Potter and his work. A feast for the brain, eyes, ears and soul, if you ever get the opportunity to see this short but wonderfully formed show grab it! Potter Matters 2016
