Originally performed in 2009 in the basement of the Custard Factory, RoguePlay’s Ultima Censura is back by popular demand, this time taking place at Minerva Works.

“Spend forty intimate moments and seek to discover where your principles lie and what your fundamentals of life and law really are.”​

Ultima Censura is a live installation allowing each audience member exactly four minutes inside ten individual tents, which in turn represent the Ten Commandments. In true RoguePlay style, the performance is highly physical, utilising their performers’ best skills in acrobatics and aerial performance.

Audience numbers are strictly limited to ten audience members per performance so booking is essential.​ Click here for more information about the show, and to buy tickets.

When: Monday 13th May, 19:30 onwards
Where: The Spotted Dog, Warwick Street, Digbeth

Stuck for something to do on Monday night? Never fear, Filum Night is here!

As ever, your host and landlord John will be on hand with free ‘tay n buns’ (that’s tea and cream cakes to the uninitiated!) and his wicked sense of humour.

Next week’s filum is:

The Informer (1935)
Dublin, 1922. Gypo Nolan, strong but none too bright, has been ousted from the rebel organization and is starving. When he finds that his equally destitute sweetheart Katie has been reduced to prostitution, he succumbs to temptation and betrays his former comrade Frankie to the British authorities for a 20 pound reward. In the course of one gloomy, foggy night, guilt and retribution inexorably close in.

Because Liam O’Flaherty’s novel had previously been filmed in 1929, RKO gave Ford a very modest budget. The director and his associates, particularly cinematographer Joseph H. August, turned this to their advantage in creating a claustrophobic masterpiece about a man at war with himself. In addition to McLaglen’s Oscar ‘The Informer’ also won John Ford his first along with wins for Best Screenplay and Best Score.

Enjoy!
