A musical about pirates. It is an historical fact that women dressed as men were part of Blackbeard’s crew in 1718. One was Anne Bonney,

the niece of the Colonial Governor of North Carolina. Her lust for adventure and its consequences are told through Musicians Theatre, 

a theatrical form created in the 1970’s by Bland Simpson and the world-renowned bluegrass group, The Red Clay Ramblers.

John Malkovich Hands Out Flyers for His Play at Edinburgh Fringe Fest

8/5/2011 by Ralf Ludemann

Lucian Capellaro

Malkovich-directed play "A Celebration of Harold Pinter" stars Julian Sands.

LONDON -- John Malkovich has been handing out flyers to astonished passers-by at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, according to the Scotsman.

The actor and director was raising the profile of his play, A Celebration of Harold Pinter, starring Julian Sands, who appeared alongside Malkovich in The Killing Fields.

But unlike many a weary leaflet tout, Malkovich, accompanied by Sands, had no problem dishing out flyers to a throng of delighted fans.

Dressed in a light blue patterned jacket, the star - who counts Dangerous Liaisons, Empire of the Sun and Con Air among his screen credits - was hugged and kissed as he posed for pictures.

Asked by the Scotsman what prompted the pair to bring the personal touch to promotion, Malkovich declared: "We've got to reach the punters."

"It's business," said Sands, "We come here with a theatre play and we want people to come and see it.

"Everyone else is handing out flyers and we have to compete."

The play is made up of personal anecdotes and reflections drawn from Sands' work with Pinter, combining his poems and political prose to create an insight in to his literary legacy.

Sands worked with the Nobel Prize-winning playwright shortly before his death in 2008 after he was called in to replace Pinter at a London poetry reading.

"It's a celebration of Harold Pinter's work, not his plays, pretty much the development of his work as a poet and of his life," said Malkovich.

Malkovich has been in productions of Pinter's plays, appearing as Deeley in the BBC production of Old Times.

He said: "I had heard a CD of Jules' reading of the poetry and then he kind of worked that up in to a slightly different form, that became nearly a theatrical piece."

The sound has been described as "mesmerizing", "tidal" and "hypnotic" by listeners and it is not unusual to see people breaking into dance or even start screaming at the top of their voice in joy as they pass the band on the street.

Halcyon is a name for a bird of Greek legend which is commonly associated with the kingfisher. The phrase comes from the ancient belief that fourteen days of calm weather were to be expected around the winter solstice - usually 21st or 22nd of December in the Northern Hemisphere. as that was when the halcyon calmed the surface of the sea in order to brood her eggs on a floating nest. The Halcyon days are generally regarded as beginning on the 14th or 15th of December.

Halcyon means calm and tranquil, or 'happy or carefree'. It is rarely used now apart from in the expression halcyon days. The name of the legendary bird was actually alcyon, the 'h' was added in regard to the supposed association with the sea ('hals' in Greek).

The source of the belief in the bird's power to calm the sea originated in a myth recorded by Ovid. The story goes that Aeolus, the ruler of the winds, had a daughter named Alcyone, who was married to Ceyx, the king of Thessaly. Ceyx was drowned at sea and Alcyone threw herself into the sea in grief. Instead of drowning, she was carried to her husband by the wind. The rest of the story is, in a translation of Ovid:

The Gods their shapes to winter-birds translate, But both obnoxious to their former fate. Their conjugal affection still is ty'd, And still the mournful race is multiply'd: They bill, they tread; Alcyone compress'd, Sev'n days sits brooding on her floating nest: A wintry queen: her sire at length is kind, Calms ev'ry storm, and hushes ev'ry wind; Prepares his empire for his daughter's ease, And for his hatching nephews smooths the seas.

The legendary bird is usually identified with the kingfisher. That was also said to nest on the sea and was believed to be able to calm the sea for the seven days before and seven days after the winter solstice.

In 1398, John Trevisa translated Bartholomew de Glanville's De proprietatibus rerum into Middle English:

"In the cliffe of a ponde of occean, Alcion, a see foule, in wynter maketh her neste and layeth egges in vii days and sittyth on brood ... seuen dayes."

In Henry VI, Part I, 1592, Shakespeare refers to halcyon days:

JOAN LA PUCELLE: Assign'd am I to be the English scourge. This night the siege assuredly I'll raise: Expect Saint Martin's summer, halcyon days, Since I have entered into these wars.

Note: Saint Martin's summer is what we now know as an Indian summer.

The kingfisher is associated with other powers relating to the weather. In mediaeval times it was thought that if the dried carcase of a kingfisher was hung up it would always point its beak in the direction of the wind [don't try this at home]. Shakespeare also refers to this in King Lear, 1605:

Bring oil to fire, snow to their colder moods; Renege, affirm, and turn their halcyon beaks With every gale and vary of their masters

Our current use of halcyon days tends to be nostalgic and recalling of the seemingly endless sunny days of youth.


"Halcyon Days" may also refer to: 


Halcyon Daze the Band playing happy funk music 
which now consists of 
guitarist/singer Podge and drummer Jay  and drummer Jay Daragh Kinch on bass 




In 2003, two young lads played together in what was the first incarnation of the band Halcyon Daze. For years, musicians came and went from the group, but the duo of guitarist/singer Podge and drummer Jay was a constant, and formed a solid foundation for Halcyon Daze. As Jay and Podge were both still in school, the band was very on and off, that is until the pair finally realised that music was all they should be doing and quit college to take the band to the next level.

Having already played a lot of the venues on the Dublin gig circuit, they decided it made more sense to do something different to their peers, who seemed to be going around in circles, by playing free gigs on the streets. Instantly the band began to build a real following, and even more so with the addition of Daragh Kinch on bass in October 2010. Since then the group has jammed out on street corners, at college balls, flea markets, parks and even a haunted castle! By playing gigs in England and Scotland, and especially by playing on the streets around Ireland to masses of people, Halcyon Daze has built a reputation as a great live act, and gained an international fanbase that extends accross Europe and even over to the U.S.

In the seven years of the bands existence, Halcyon Daze's sound has morphed and mutated into many different musical styles - spacey psychedelic soundscapes, wahwah and sunshine soaked funk, crunching rock and metal, folk, prog, dance, surf, porn and country music, off the wall improvised jams, and many other things that don't have words - the trio just play whatever comes out of them. The sound has been described as "mesmerizing", "tidal" and "hypnotic" by listeners and it is not unusual to see people breaking into dance or even start screaming at the top of their voice in joy as they pass the band on the street. (No joke)

2011 has been a great year for Halcyon Daze so far, the busy group continue to spread their message on the streets and in venues around Ireland, and in August they will make their first ever festival appearance at the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, where earlier in the year they were filmed for a soon to be aired Australian TV show showcasing undiscovered musicians from around the world

Cycle One (60º) is a fast-paced, energetic theatrical dance performance which provocatively questions the everyday mundane through play. The piece is funny and chaotic in its exploration of what it is to be dirty and the endless human struggle to become clean.

Douglas and Andrew are two brothers, but two very different men. With a dog for a therapist and Rabbie Burns as their guide, can they put aside their past to confront right now? Set in a field in southwest Scotland, 'Fetch' is a powerful piece of new writing from Alan Gordon (Finalist, BBC Radio Scotland and Playwrights' Studio's 'Ignite' competition), which explores what happens when the one you need to tell is no longer there. Exciting puppetry brings to life the family pet of all family pets, but will it be enough to save Douglas from hitting self-destruct?

Some more information on Fair Play Productions and their first production Will They See Me?
You will have to come to Will They See Me? me this week at the Greenside ot find out!!!!

Will You See me was written and directed by Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham who have trained together for four years at The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance and decided to create their new prodcuction company Fair Play Productions because of a joint interest in what appeals to then when creating and performing dance theatre. Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham aim was to bring out a genuine reaction from their audience so that they can truly engage and be entertained by Will Thye See Me? Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham aim to make our work accessible for the general public without losing integrity of the work.
The inspiration for their show Will They See Me? was the contrast between how people behave when they think that no one is watching and how they behave when they think that "everyone" is watching (namely how they portray themselves and interact on social media). Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham worked collaboratively with our four performers to create the show Will They See Me?
. Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham say they have enjoyed all the preparations leading up to the Fringe and look forward to the rest of their Shows Run at the

A musical about pirates. It is an historical fact that women dressed as men were part of Blackbeard’s crew in 1718. One was Anne Bonney,

the niece of the Colonial Governor of North Carolina. Her lust for adventure and its consequences are told through Musicians Theatre,

a theatrical form created in the 1970’s by Bland Simpson and the world-renowned bluegrass group, The Red Clay Ramblers.

The stories come out of the music, rather than the other way round. Join this four-star American High School troupe

for a foot stomping adventure as they return to the Fringe!

Early morning January 2009 in a carriage on the Underground. Strangers fall into uneasy, hesitant conversation where they only hint at their troubles. But through the vehicle of song we find out what really makes them tick.

Please click here to buy tickets online today!

This summer the Fringe will make history (again!) as being the biggest arts festival ever, but it’s not just the Fringe that’s toasting success, Greenside is breaking records too!

Fringe 2011 is set to be Greenside’s BIGGEST and BEST yet.

This year, we’re proud to be launching our brand new space: Studio 2, a purpose built black box studio space, seating fifty. As well as the space improvements, we have DOUBLED the number of events at Greenside compared to 2010; that’s over two hundred performances over the course of the Fringe!

‘Beside The Greenside’ is back for a second year and is brings with it quite simply the most unique and innovate space at the Fringe: ‘The Shack’!

At Greenside, we love our outdoor gardens and so do our audience members so good news: we have upgraded and increased our outdoor areas just for you! We know that the Fringe can be stressful so take the weight off your feet and let our trained therapist take away all your woes; offering fantastic treatments and massages for the whole of the Fringe! Throw in a completely upgraded outdoor lighting rig, green room and backstage area and you can see why we’re so excited.

We simply can’t wait to share Fringe 2011 with you, and what a Programme we have… so take a look at our ‘What’s On’ section to marvel at the gems that we have on offer.

We at Greenside truly believe that we encapsulate the spirit of the Fringe, so come down and have look for yourself try something new… it is the Fringe after all!



Performing_at_Greenside

At Greenside, we offer an unrivalled experience to all our companies; the reason why we understand the complexity of performing at the Fringe is because we have actually performed at the Fringe!

We started our Fringe life in exactly the same position as you, as Performers, Directors and Production Managers. We believe that it’s this unique perspective on the Fringe that allows us to understand the fantastic journey you’re about to start! We believe that every company should have the opportunity to perform at the biggest arts festival in the world, and that’s why we don’t operate a strict application process in which we only program the most experienced and well known acts. We believe that irrespective of reputation, experience or size there is a place for you at Greenside.
We know that you want a fantastic space, with a generous size stage, fantastic technical capabilities, and friendly staff that will allow you to showcase your work, so we work tirelessly to ensure we tick all of those boxes and provide you with the Fringe Venue you deserve.

At Greenside, we guarantee to NEVER charge a Box Office Split, which means that every penny you take on the box office is yours to keep!

We are on hand twenty four hours a day, seven days a week before, during and after the Fringe to help you with all your queries from Press Releases, Lighting Designs, Marketing Advise and even where to find the best bar in Edinburgh!

We take great pride in our spaces and we strive to provide the best space possible for you. We have the state of the art lighting and sound equipment, boasting a full LED colour mixing wash and superb 16 channel sound systems ensuring your show will look and sound great on any of our stages.

We know finding the right venue is the first step in your Fringe adventure and we’re sure that one of our spaces is right for you.

Please click the link below to find out more about Greenside Theatre and Greenside Studio.

Without the Companies who perform at Greenside there would be no Greenside and we really appreciate each and every company that has performed with us over the past seven years. We like to think we have a fantastic Venue with unbeatable service but don’t just take our word for it! See what companies who have worked with us in the past have to say about their time at Greenside.



The only criticism we have of Greenside is the fact that they were just too popular to have us in our first year at the Fringe, when we were pipped to the post by another company, and had to suffer at the hands of more a unscrupulous venue. We forgave Darren, Tara and the team though, the instant we stepped into Greenside in our second year at the Fringe . . . and have never looked back . . . in fact, we liked them so much our company technical manager joined their team!! I defy any venue or venue team to be more welcoming and flexible when faced with a cast of 20, very energetic, young people, a live band, and a technically demanding show. With a great backstage area as well as performance space, toasties so good that they became an integral part of our cast promo on the mile, and a passion for delivering a Fringe experience to remember, (for all the right reasons), you really couldn’t expect more from a venue! Three years on Greenside has become our second home, and we would highly recommend you come and join the team for a brilliant festival!

Cathy Moss – Projects Director – Indigo arts



' Louche Theatre's 2010 visit to the Edinburgh Fringe was a great experience , a major factor in making it so enjoyable was the venue and staff there. From the first moment we contacted them, Greenside people went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly....nothing was too much trouble ! The venue itself is delightful, situated on the edge of parkland, the performance areas are an excellent size and there is a good space to store props etc. To top it all off, we came away having been nominated for 6 company and individual awards ! Needless to say, we have already booked Greenside for the 2011 Fringe.........oh, forgot to say, the food is yummy too ! '
Harry Durnall
Artistic Director
Louche Theatre
www.louchetheatre.com



Greenside is a smashing venue: while it has seating for 100, it feels intimate, and the major improvements in the last three years make it a pleasure to perform in. Darren and Tara and the team could not be more welcoming or accommodating, and professional help is well provided. The fact that Greenside is a ten minute stroll from the Royal Mile has never been a bar to us getting Sell-Out Status for 8 years now. We warmly recommend Greenside to any company wanting to enhance their reputation at the Fringe.

Lloyd Allington

Director of Drama

Close Up Theatre



How would I sum up my Greenside experience? In a word: Excellent. The crew are of the utmost in professionalism and experience. As for the space itself it was hands down one of the nicest spaces I encountered in all of my fringing. The lights and sound were wonderful and once again the crew was absolutely top notch. Anyone who chooses this as their venue will not regret it!
Chase Padgett
"6 Guitars"


2010 was our first time performing at the festival and we couldn't be more happy with everyone at Greenside for making our debut an experience we'll never forget. The staff were supportive throughout every step and were always at hand to offer support and advice. The venue itself was very versatile with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were particularly impressed by the efficiency during get in/out of productions, the tight Fringe turnover between shows had worried me but everything ran smoothly thanks to the organised Greenside team. We will definitely be returning!

Andrea, the leader of our trio and child prodigy in music, now barks orders at fellow residents. Freddie, the self-acclaimed lady killer and world traveller competes for Andrea's attention and concern with the gentle and withdrawn Richard, who wonders why his family has cut contact with him.

Unique production of a play performed alternately in two perspectives: drama or dance (see venue). The nuclear meets the visceral Emily. See both performances for £10.00 - available at venue. ‘The audience was completely enthralled’ (La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art). ‘A most memorable evening of entertainment full of emotion and wit’ (La Jolla Light). ‘An actress capable of becoming Emily Dickinson for two hours must not be over-looked’ ***** (San Diego Union).

The Cagebirds were happy ignoring each other, until The Wild One came. The Wild One has a lot to say. Being caged in, as the others are, can't be right, it can't be fair. The Cagebirds have a lot to say too. The Great Guzzler loves to talk about food, whilst The Mirror-Eyed Gazer speaks only of beauty. All the Cagebirds have something to say, but none of the Cagebirds are listening. This play discusses what happens when communication breaks down, and whether freedom is being outside a cage or inside.

Set in the 1980s in post-industrial Doncaster, this dramatic play follows three very different women and their tales of Royce, a man who has a devastating effect on their lives in many different ways. Lynette, Ruby and Jodie are three very different women who are strangers to each other. Little do they know that one brutal man will bring their lives together. As we follow these three women through their daily struggles, they show us that even when they feel completely alone it is possible to find strength in the most unlikely of people.

A dark comedy marred with heart-wrenching, emotional drama - this thought-provoking piece reflects contemporary Irish society in the depths and despair of recession. The play moves between themes of materialism and celebrity, alcoholism, bereavement, anger, frustration, violence, lies and mental illness. Set on a dreary morning in modern-day Ireland, the queue waits in hope, embarrassment, fear, disappointment, but good humour and a realisation that nobody is immune from joining the end of the line. The unemployment queue in Ireland is presently the greatest leveller of status, class. Join us and discover why. Not to be missed.

A musical about pirates. It is an historical fact that women dressed as men were part of Blackbeard’s crew in 1718. One was Anne Bonney, the niece of the Colonial Governor of North Carolina. Her lust for adventure and its consequences are told through Musicians Theatre, a theatrical form created in the 1970’s by Bland Simpson and the world-renowned bluegrass group, The Red Clay Ramblers. The stories come out of the music, rather than the other way round. Join this four-star American High School troupe for a foot stomping adventure as they return to the Fringe!

Debuting at Edinburgh with this full-length production of Into The Woods, Opera di Nepotist is a unique company whose members range from completely inexperienced performers, to those on the path of a professional career. All are welcome. Sondheim's music and lyrics enthral his audience. Incorporating characters from several well-known fairy tales, the plot initially appears to follow the expected path to a happy ending for all. However, all is not as it seems. The characters are challenged in ways they could not imagine. For some, there is a happy ending, though not as envisaged. For others...

An indulgent and atmospheric journey through the wild life of Edith Piaf. Traditional mime is twisted into a grotesque and highly inventive, physical exploration of the darker side of her road to fame. The audience is engulfed into an evocative world of shadowy Parisian brothels and bars, intensified by the sharp, stylized lighting and deceiving silhouettes. The raw beauty and opulence of her distinctive voice is harmonized by the incredible precision of the actors. This original, extravagant and vivid production is a visual delight, bold, explicit and bursting with creativity.

Another Cappadocia: in Brazil, there are thousands of beliefs that can be alternated or simply lived almost in harmony. A man on stage changes life with the delicate moment of death. The show talks about what must not be seen or touched. Intuition about something or someone who protect us. Angels perhaps? Its existence is not explained. It's a male solo.

Reverend Mother is determined to raise the cash and decides she and the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert - will stage a talent show to raise the money to bury their dearly departed sisters.
