A DARK comedy about nosiness gone wild is coming to Bridport.

Someone’s pinched Pam’s Elizabethan sideboard. So she signs up for her local Neighbourhood Watch.

With the aid of her nephew who works in security, she swiftly graduates from curtain twitching to spy cameras hidden in hand-knitted novelties in the dark comedy Fish Eye heading to Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday, March 4.

But what Pam unearths only confirms what she already suspects – that everyone around her is a thief, a pervert or a terrorist (or perhaps all three) and that they are all on the verge of heinous crimes.

A sharp sideways look at what former Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti describes as the issue of our times – how the relentless monitoring, collecting and hacking of every inch of our lives has run completely out of control.

Theatre Alibi are contemporary storytellers, creating work for all ages that moves freely between the intimate and the epic and aspires to be inventive, joyful, moving, vivid, intricate and ambitious.

The company integrates a wide variety of art forms into its work.

There will also be a chance for some social media fun before the show.

Lisa Wilcock from Bridport Arts Centre said: “In the lead up to the show Theatre Alibi has asked staff at Bridport Arts Centre to hide lots of beautiful tiny knitted fish around the town.

“If you find one please take a snap and share on social media.”

n See Theatre Alibi performing Fish Eye on Saturday, March 4 at 8pm. Tickets cost £12.
