Gilbert

Gilbert, o el lamento de Vistis, es uno de los humanos más temidos en el infierno, es el mayor adorador de Vistis y está en una eterna busqueda de ofrendas de cordura que hacerle a su diosa, a la que considera una madre.

# Apariencia

Es un hombre maduro de facciones duras y gesto bonachón, tiene el pelo castaño con algunas canas y siempre lo lleva corto. Viste con las ropas tipicas del lugar salvo porque usualmente es visto con un pañuelo morado cubriendole los ojos. Los rasgos por falta de sueño tambien son evidentes, anda jorobado y cuando no lleva los ojos cubiertos, se le ven ojeras gigantescas.

# Personalidad

Al hablar con la gente se le suele notar una forma erratica de comportarse, con tendencia a frases extrañas sin contexto alguno, y comentarios confusos que hace al ver el pasado de sus victimas con la visión del pañuelo. Rie mucho, y a veces se pone sentimental con motivo de manipular a las personas. Es tambien una persona despiadada pero extramadamente leal como se puede ver en su relación con Vistis.

Sin embargo hay dias en los que su forma de ser suele cambiar bastante, y eso es luego de dormir. Luego del sueño, Gilbert se vuelve mucho más capaz de mantener conversaciones normales con la gente y de mostrar un minimo de compasión aunque sea minima.

Suele ser una persona desubicada, pero siempre que este frente a su madre, se va a comportar como un caballero, aunque sea hablandole a una estatua de madera.

# Historia

### Antes del infierno

Un asesino a sueldo totalmente despiadado que estuvo activo durante varios años antes de ser atrapado y ahorcado por la justicia de su pais. En vida fue cinico e incredulo con respecto a la existencia de cualquier dios, incluso antes de morir negó cualquier confesión.

### En el infierno

Habiendo llegado veinte años antes del plan de Scurus, tuvo primero una epoca de adaptación en la que vagaba por todas partes sin rumbo claro, incluso llegó a pertenecer por unos años a la fundación negra, sin embargo fue al final de su segundo año que conoció a Vistis, y asi se volvió el mayor devoto suyo y un eterno buscador de cordura que regalar a su madre. Aproximadamente ciento setenta muertes son obra suya, y el modus operandi no varia.

### Modus operandi

Siempre actua de la misma forma, leyendo el pasado de las personas y buscando debilidades que explotar a su favor. Asi les hace creer cosas erroneas, y luego todo culmina cuando este les pone algun artefacto extremadamente peligroso en las manos, asi con la cordura rondando el menos uno, terminan por matar a alguien.

The Shape of Things

## Creatives

Directors: Jeroen Vandommele and Elger Abbink

Production Leader: Harrie de Vries

## Synopsis

*The Shape of Things* focuses on Evelyn, a graduate arts student who encounters the shy - nerdy if you will - bookworm Adam in a museum.

The two hit it off! Adam falls completely in love with the rather eccentric art student, and who can blamer him? Evelyn is the woman he has always dreamed of; she's strong intelligent, independent and very, very goodlooking indeed.

But, as always, there's more than meets the eye. What is that girl up to exactly? Adam wilfully submits into every desire of Evelyn in order to make him more attractive... Not bad, perhaps, but what are the consequences? And what do Adam's friends Phillip and Jenny think of Adam's makeover? What is the effect of Evelyn on *their* lives?

The author of the play, Neil Labute (famous for his film "In the Company of Men"), explores the darker, unseemly side of life with this black comedy. What is the role of artistic representation and exploitation in everyday life? Questions raised (but perhaps not fully answered!) by GUTS and *The Shape of Things*!

The Deep Blue Sea

## Creatives

Director: Dawn Bullock

Assistant Director: Myca Millmore

Production Leaders: Elsemiek Hes and Berber Aardema

## Synopsis

To love with one’s eyes open sometimes makes life very difficult.

GUTS brings Terence Rattigan’s heartwrenching and most-celebrated play to the Groningen stage. The Deep Blue Sea, set in England in the 1950s, highlights the struggles and despair of a failed marriage, of infidelity and in particular the question of identity with brutal and raw honesty.

Hester Collyer fails at attempting suicide. She struggles to find her social position after leaving the dependable husband who loves her for a brazen, younger man who doesn’t love her as much as she loves him. In the aftermath of her attempt she finds an unlikely ally.

Despite its setting, the themes are timeless and universal as we are ever in need to define ourselves and our social positions.

Absentus

Absentus, el cero y el uno del Cosmos, es la maxima deidad del universo. Responsable inconsciente de la creación de todo cuanto existe, y tambien representante del fin absoluto de todo cuanto existe. La realidad empieza y termina con él, y en cuanto su tiempo limitado de vida se termine, el cosmos desaparecerá definitivamente.

Al estar dormido, es casi imposible contactarlo de cualquier manera. Sin embargo hay quienes mediante investigación a fondo lograron observarlo y estudiarlo desde su letargo. Fue Gratia una de las pocas que pudo observarlo.

Al representar el fin de hasta los mismos dioses, quienes descubren el terrible secreto de su existencia nunca vuelven a ser los mismos, siendo que la mayoria de ellos terminan locos. No existe manera conocida de revertir el final del cosmos.

Medea

## Creatives

Director: Aleksandra Giersz

Production Leader: Hanna Dosenko

## Writer

Euripides

Translated by Ben Power

## Synopsis

Euripides’ classic Greek tragedy – *Medea*, in a new adaptation by Ben Power, coming to the USVA theatre this June!

Abandoned by her husband, Medea struggles to save herself and her two sons from exile and, in result, the shaming of her and her family’s name. Blinded by grief and heart-break, she plans a bloody revenge on Jason which she carries out with almost merciless determination.

*Medea* is a story that still remains disturbingly modern and familiar for its readers and audiences. Its questioning and discussion of the eternal problems linked of revenge, family, gender and fate, Medea remains as relevant to its modern audiences as it did thousands of years ago in Ancient Greece, leaving us questioning the real speed of development in our world.

Confusions (1993)

## Creatives

Director: Josee Westrik

Produciton Manager: Linda Berendsen

## Synopsis

The play consists originally of five interlinked one-act plays all revolving around the same them. GUTS performed only three of them, with a cast of ten. Although each one-act play is a story in itself, the theme, confusions, keeps presenting itself in various guises. There is confusion in speech, personalities, relationships, and even age. In *Mother Figure*, a trapped and isolated housewife gradually draws her neighbors into her mental mix-up. In *Between Mouthfuls*, the only one who keeps his head cool in a flood of misunderstandings is the waiter, and in *A Talk in the Park*, nobody feels like understanding each other anyway. *Confusions* was first performed at the Apollo Theatre in London on May 19th, 1976.

Bachelorette

## Creatives

Director: Anneke Westra

Production Leader: Elizabeth Chandler

## Synopsis

Although being described as “fat”, Becky is the first of her group of friends to get married. This does not sit well with her Maid of Honor, Regan, a pill-popping Queen B, whose own relationship is going nowhere. Against Becky’s wishes, Regan invites two toxic party girls from their high school days – Down to earth Gena and sweet but somewhat dimwitted Katie- with the intention of trashing Becky’s expensive New York City hotel room, on a wild bacheloretteparty without the bride. The evening starts out innocently enough with plenty of champagne, cocaine and cruel gossip. However, when the girls tear Becky’s wedding dress, and Regan invites some random dudes, to join the party, the evening starts to look like an extravagant disaster. Leslye Headsland’s hilarious black comedy *Bachelorette* explores gluttony and envy through the lens of addiction. This play is a fast – paced, extremely foul – mouthed look at hurt, betrayal and friendship in our modern society.

Outlying Islands

## Creatives

Directors:  Elger Abbink and Jeroen Vandommele

## Synopsis

It is the summer of 1939. Storm clouds are beginning to gather over Europe as the whole world is about to descend into a war darker and more destructive than anything civilization has ever seen. And yet, despite the obvious imminent threat of war, the British Government finds it worth the effort to send two Cambridge students of biology, Robert and John, to a remote Scottish island to study and survey birds. The two students themselves are not the least bit bothered by this; they have been waiting all their lives for this opportunity. A pristine habitat of birds, untouched by civilization, to study, all for themselves! Well, almost for themselves anyway, since first the two chaps have to deal with Mrs Kirk, the island's puritan caretaker, who is not pleased at all with the arrival of the two boys and their interest in nature. Birds lay eggs,and God put them on this earth for man to eat. Isn't that all we need to know about birds? And there is Ellen, Mrs Kirk's niece, a distracting and dividing factor on the island. Despite Mrs Kirk's efforts, Ellen is becoming more familiar with certain sensibilities of a changing world: Ellen has found the darkness you find in cinemas and has fallen in love with the stars of silent comedy...

Sisters

## Creatives

Director: Wim Thommassen

Production manager: Hans Jansen

Assistant Producer: Mia Olthof

## Synopsis

Two sisters meet again, after a separation of seven years. Adrienne Stanforth has made a career in the theatre world, Carol Lomax lives an apparently uneventful life with her husband Tom in a small town in the North Midlands. "Apparently" is a keyword in the plot; thus from the very first scene, questions arise about Carol's house ("What is this house? What goes on upstairs?"), a technique that Storey used again in *Home (1970)*. In the latter play it is not until half-way through that it becomes clear that the setting is an asylum. In *Sisters*, further questions are raised by Adrienne's curious behavior and way of talking. Naturally, these are effective plot elements in this psychological thriller, but the uncertainties are also thematic. The characters all cling to lies and illusions; to their past, their jobs, or their dreams and fantasies. Storey portrays them fairly mildly, however, showing how they depend on each other in their vulnerability ("We're held together by our mutual dependency"), and lodging the past in the plot as a binding force they cannot overcome. He offers no choice, no alternative, no solution. Some of the characters manage to hold their own with the help of their fixed ideas, for others the dreams and illusions are insufficient in the conflicts that arise. There is never complete certainty; the play has an open ending, and a crucial off-stage incident is not cleared up. It has been pointed out that *Sisters* resembles Tennessee Williams's *A Streetcar Named Desire*, but although there are obvious similarities, the English play, with its uncertainties and its elusive characters, is essentially different from its American predecessor. *Sisters* was first presented at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, on 12 September 1978, under the direction of Eric Thompson. GUTS was the first company to perform the play in the Netherlands. The play is set in the living-room of Tom and Carol's house in the North Midlands. Act I is an early afternoon towards the end of autumn, Act II is the evening of the same day, Act III presents the audience with the early morning of the next day.

The Importance of Being Earnest (2016)

## Creatives

Director: James R. Lyon

Production Leader: Ilse de Vreede

## Synopsis

Regarded as one of the greatest comedy plays ever written, Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People”, is bubbling with wonderful wit, dramatically funny dialogue and colourfully comedic characters.

The play is a farcical comedy and completely trivial, revolving around the protagonists, Jack and Algernon, who try to maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. They both adopt the character of “Ernest” in an effort to win the hearts of the innocently sweet Cecily and the pretentiously sophisticated Gwendolyn. The whole play falls into a whirlwind of hilariously awkward situations expertly penned by, a legend in his own right, Oscar Wilde.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

## Creatives

Director: Els van der Werf

Production Manager: Joke van Wijk

## Synopsis

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, characters originally created by William Shakespeare, are the friends of his tragic hero Hamlet, and operate in the periphery of his tragedy with the same name. Tom Stoppard has made them the central characters of his play; and yet, they are very much outside the action of the play, which is dictated by the plot of Shakespeare's *Hamlet.* Most of this tragedy happens off-stage, in so far as it happens at all. We first meet Rosencrantz and Guildenstern on their journey to Denmark. They have been summoned to the court at Elsinore by the Danish king Claudius and his queen Gertrude. At their arrival, they are told to find out what is the matter with their friend Hamlet, who has been acting strangely ever since his father's death. From that moment on, the two friends get caught up in something which they cannot control. They do not want to stay, but they are not free to go; they want to act, but they do not know what to do; they want to understand, but they are kept completely in the dark. What we are watching for most of the time is two men waiting for something to happen, passing the time by tossing coins, fabricating arguments, playing verbal games, and chatting alternately about trivialities and about the meaning of life. And all the time they are, as the title reminds us, being carried rapidly towards death. *Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead* was first performed by the Oxford Theatre Group as part of the 'fringe' at the Edinburgh Festival in August 1966.

Director: Hans Jansen

Production Designer: Maaike van Veen

## Synopsis

Set in the Beverley Hills home of Tarantino-style, Oscar-winning, movie director Bruce Delamitri, Popcorn is a satirical comedy thriller with the firing capacity of a hit squad. When notorious killers Wayne and Scout interrupt Bruce's passionate introduction to Brooke Daniels (nude model and actress), they want more than an autograph from their cinematic idol. Wayne intends to use Bruce's 'art' as justification for murder. Events are disrupted with the arrival of Karla Brezner (Bruce's producer) and Farrah Delamitri (Bruce's soo-to-be-ex-wife) with spoilt teenage daughter, Velvet. But Wayne means to succeed - whatever the cost. How often have you heard the line "They really should do something about...". You have probably said it yourself. Blame, transferred onto the mysterious "them", safely distances us from the problem and all members of the conversation can nod sagely in relief that it's not their problem either... So what happens when an infamous murdering duo take a movie director hostage and claim it's his movies that are to blamer for their actions? What if the blame lies on the movie-goers who clamour for the thrill of a murderous movie? What if it's you, coming to see this play? In his book become play, Popcorn, Ben Elton pulls no puncehes as he satirically explores the issue of "'art' as justification for murder", the social repercussions of living in a self-absorved Western society, and a lot more besides.

The Great Depression of 1977

In 1977, the E.S.C. Drama Society energetically plunged into something that should have been their 10th production, namely *A Delicate Balance* by E. Albee, under the direction of someone named Ricardo Anasagasti. Due to incompetence on behalf of the director, the whole project was abandoned a fortnight prior to the first performance. This caused the society's dramatic silence, with the need of a full year recovery afterwards, only to make a come-back in 1979 with the play *Table Manners* by A. Ayckbourn.

## Synopsis

Be prepared for what's coming your way! This year, G.U.T.S. invites you to witness all of the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm come alive in a show that is much bigger, grander and crazier than what it looks like- it's a Spectaculathon (yes, that is now a real word)! Two narrators will do their absolute best to combine all fairytale characters, including Rapunzel, Snow White, Cinderella, The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood and many more, in one mega story full of chaos, music, magic, confused actors and randomness. The results are explosive, to say the least.

## Synopsis

On the 18th of January, 1788 the first fleet of British prion ships, under the command of Arthur Phillip, arrive at Botany Bay in New South Wales, Australia. At a time of extremely low supplies and low hopes, with the future of the colony in question, 2nd Lieutenant Ralph Clark decides to stage a production of George Farquhar's comedy "*The Rrecruiting Officer*". With only two copies of the text, a cast of partly illiterate convicts, opposition from sadistic officers, and a leading lady about to be hanged, the production is in trouble from the start...

Based on an historical incident and on Thomas Kenneally's novel *The Playmaker*, Timberlake Wertenbaker's inspirational play shows us the redemptive, transcendental power of theatre with great elegance and passion.

First performed at the Royal Court in 1988, *Our Country's Good* was awarded the Laurence Olivier/BBC Award for Best New Play and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best New Foreign Play and was nominated for six Tonies.

## Synopsis

The Archangel Gabriel announces to the Heavenly host that God created man and has exalted him above all beings. Some of the angels support the Divine Director's creation and some don't. Beëlzebub, right hand angel of the now depressed Lucifer, sends his two helpers, Belial and Apollyon, to Earth to see if man really is that glorious and beautiful. It turns out that man is more of a Neanderthal than a glorious being. Woman on the other hand seems to be very intelligent and beautiful and completely astonishes the two angels. Beëlzebub convinces Lucifer that man is no more than a talking monkey. He files a complaint at the Celestial Bureau of Internal Affairs but is ignored, which makes him decide to go to war against God. He loses and he and his angels fall down to Hell. Beëlzebub convinces him that he should take revenge against God, so he turns himself into a snake and seduces Eve and Adam to eat the apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. At first, the Angels think man is doomed but then realise that man is better off than Lucifer and his demons.

Boxx

Boxx is an orange box with horns, and a plasma ball much like Wubbox.

## Song

It blows its horns, making an oboe sound.

## Origin

It is completely made up of scrapped pieces the god of all Supernaturals, Galvana, threw away from the uncompleted Wubbox. The scrapped pieces are in order; a power orb with the personality of a insane person, a endoskeleton head, 2 horns, and 2 dead eyes.
