Tmesis tour That's Amore in 2015

Liverpool’s Tmesis Theatre's That’s Amore will open at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool, on 28 January before touring to Norwich, Ormskirk, Bury, Halifax, Runcorn and Barnsley.

That’s Amore is a piece of physical theatre which explores the vast world and culture of romantic love – from chance encounters to hidden desires, and emotional extremes to the science of romance.

Tmesis Theatre’s Elinor Randle is the Director of the piece– and this is the first time in the company’s 10-year history that she has not performed in a production piece. That’s Amore combines Tmesis’ trademark physicality and an ensemble of performers, with text from long-term collaborator Chris Fittock.

A Unity Commission, the play features a cast of four – Jennifer Essex, Adam Davies, Eleni Edipidi and Ross McCall, with design by Lois Maskell, lighting Beccy Hillam, projection designer Sam Meech, and composer Meike Holzmann.

The play will features familiar love songs, including – Bonnie Tyler’s "Total Eclipse of the Heart"; A-ha’s "Take On Me"; Sinead O’Connor’s "Nothing Compares To You"; George Michael’s Careless Whisper, and "That's Amore."

That’s Amore joins the list of European toured shows, following Tmesis, Memento Mori and Anima, their trilogy on life’s journey, The Dreadful Hours and Wolf Red.
