Overview

With a glass of wine in hand, and an appetite for art, Friday nights at Metro Arts are a tasty treat for even the pickiest of connossieurs. For a couple of weeks now, this continusouly surprising art space has been shutting artists – with full, express consent – in the gallery for an intense week of creative work and polishing. Friday nights are your chance to see their creative developments capped off with a showing and discussion.

This week, there's no exception in terms of creativity, style and artistic innovation. Rebecca Maston brings to the table a darkly comic story of broken-down Ebony Starling, and her fall down the rabbit whole with Deenie, her suddenly animate childhood doll; all in a most peculiar partnership of art forms – puppetry and dance. Don't rashly partner puppetry with Oscar the Grouch, Being John Malkovich and Happy Meal toys, Maston's production is one that utilises this rare artform in flawless and graceful manner.

Throw away your current Friday night plans, and meet the dark characters of Maston's unique production.
