Natural PRESS RELEASES
CONEHEADS LAND AT THE PYRAMIDS!
7th January 2009
Bath's Natural Theatre Company has been invited to perform their unique brand of street theatre in Cairo. At the invitation of the British Council they will be appearing amongst the three million visitors expected to attend the Cairo Book Fair. This is the second biggest book fair in the world after Frankfurt and the team of actors will be there from 22nd to 24th of January.
In addition to attracting 3000 exhibitors, the book fair is attended by authors, buyers and publishers and has become one of the leading cultural activities in the Middle East. The United Kingdom is this year's guest of honour and ten leading British authors will be giving lectures and carrying out book signings. The Naturals will be performing in the avenues and piazzas in between the various pavilions that make up the exhibition grounds.
Natural Theatre has performed in Egypt before at the opening of the British Council's new facility in Cairo, and also at the National Library in Alexandria. However, this is the first time the general public will experience their work. Oddly, the organisers have not chosen the company's literature-related scenarios but have gone for the popular Pink Suitcases and Flowerpots routines. The Coneheads will also be in evidence (last seen next to the Pyramids!) plus the company's British Bobbies who will be keeping everyone in order.
The team will be regular Naturals Ric Jerrom, Mark Bishop, Rose Popay and Hâf Morgan, all of whom are locally based.
To see if the Naturals will be at a theatre, party, launch, opening or on a street near you, visit their website www.naturaltheatre.co.uk
