Biding Time (Remix) @ Various Venues

Biding Time (Remix) returns to the stage and screen after its run at the Fringe last year. A response to Pippa Bailey's Biding Time, the mutlimedia, interdisciplinary show has been put together by Tromolo Productions and features live music, live performance and film all fusing into one. While it is one of the most difficult experiences to convey without giving too much away, the plot follows Thyme, the female lead played by Louise Quinn, and her attempts to rise to stardom. 

Aside from grappling with the art-versus-commodification issue, Biding Time (Remix) showcases the issues women have to deal with in the music business, traditionally considered an industry where men are predominantly the 'big winners' in terms of renumeration and position. The bosses of corporate record companies that are supposed to be promoting music are nearly all male, and what's more, they don't have to twerk to get to those elevated positions.

Featuring Diane Torr, A Band Named Quinn and a giant and incredibly ominous-looking rabbit, this show is certainly the experience of a lifetime - at once an immersive, surrealist play, a fun music gig, and an educational show. [Eric Karoulla]
