How to Occupy an Oil Rig is a 70 minute performance or "How-to demonstration in a story telling style which brings the harsh realities of protesting under the limelight. Kettling, teargas, patience, boredom , are all endured, and a lot of the time, as revealed by Daniel and his co-stars, to no avail"

Thursday 27th February, 8pm, at the Subscription Rooms, Stroud (GL5 1AE). Click here for more info and tickets (£12/10) or call 01453 760900 (tickets can be collected free, posted for £1 or booked online for £1.50 per ticket).

"There are all sorts of lessons to be learned in life.

How to blend in on a march.

How to crash a boardroom meeting.

How to avoid becoming romantically attached to an undercover police officer.

That sort of thing.

In this playful and provocative show about protest, you'll learn how to do all

of this and more. Funny, surprising, and not a little sad,

How to Occupy an Oil Rig is for everyone who ever wanted to change anything. And that's

everyone.

You get to play with plasticine too". For more information see: www.danielbye.co.uk
