Multi Story Theatre presents ‘Last Dance Saloon’

North Coast Arts is delighted to welcome Gill Nathanson and Bill Buffery of Multi Story Theatre to Bude with their captivating new show that explores love, legacy and the future we envision for coming generations. Filled with wit and laughter, music, dance and drama it delivers a deeply moving experience.

Two people, no longer in the first rush of youth, meet at a dance retreat in Buenos Aires. A spark is lit. With family ties in Chile and Devon, they navigate the challenges of a long-distance relationship sustained by tango sessions in Argentina that include unexpected flights of the imagination.

Multi Story Theatre have spent twenty-four years crafting powerful narratives for intimate spaces, thriving on the close connections fostered in studio theatres and community venues. Their latest production
features people we recognise, striving to do their best for themselves, their families and the future. It resonates particularly with the grandparent generation, contemplating their legacy, while also engaging younger audiences in conversations about the world they’re inheriting.
The performance is staged ‘in the round’ to evoke the atmosphere of a Tango social event.

‘I loved the gentle humour, tenderness and mild surprise at arriving at a different stage in life and thinking more about your place in it. Thought provoking on every level and great to feel included…like a warm hug on a stormy night. ‘ Audience Member
