Arts House present acclaimed UK theatre ensemble Forced Entertainment's provocative new work Spectacular. Spectacular is about death, playing dead and about the strange contact between two performers on-stage and an audience caught between what they are watching and what they are being told.

A lone performer takes to the stage, explaining that the show we're watching is somehow different tonight. The atmosphere is different, his entrance was off, the lights are wrong, some scenery is missing, and some performers are absent. The tone is wrong. Things are somehow falling to pieces, or maybe things are just now falling into place. The audience reaction, our protagonist says, is not quite what he expected, not quite what he's used to. Perhaps the fact he is dressed as a skeleton has something to do with it.
