Unable to bear the pain of her secret love for Jack The Knife, Tanya the knifethrower's assistant decides to kill herself. Barney, the circus pony, just dreams of running in straight lines. Alice, the adolescent trapeze artist, longs for the deadly sensation of falling. All of them trapped in endless repetitions of that which is agony to them until the moment of crisis ...

The short piece, The Agony Of The Knifethrower's Assistant, that the remarkable Mike Henry and Adey wrote last year has been expanded into a theatre piece. And the wonderful Tête À Tête opera company is putting it all on stage at their Summer Festival this year. And Adey and Mike will be singing Tanya and Jack!

It will be on August 1 at 7pm at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith.
