After which, we are straight into rehearsals for 'Suicide Notes' a double bill of plays that tackles the thorny subject of ending it all! Becky is adapting Sarah Kane's powerful '4:48 Psychosis' into a one woman show, which gives her an amazing acting challenge as she will run through a diversity of emotions! The double bill is completed by 'Funny Ha Ha!' a new play co-written by Becky & Myself (our fifth collaboration). It takes the idea of two circus clowns who are contemplating suicide as they feel they aren't funny anymore! An ironic and black comedy that will call for a lot of physicality from Becky and Darren Little (who joins us again after his impressive Rochester in 'Jane Eyre'). Look out for a rehearsal blog and photos as we approach performance dates of 4th and 5th July.
Its 3 days until the AETF Western Area Semi Final and cast and crew of 'Henry Gladstone' are raring to go! A quick rehearsal on Friday night before setting off bright and early on Saturday to the Redgrave Theatre in Bristol which is a wonderful space to be performing in. It seems 'Henry Gladstone' is a perfect festival play (2 actors,minimal set!) so we are doing two further festivals in Wallingford and Abingdon in June. Not to collect cups, but just the opportunity to keep performing as the more it's performed the more the performances grow and the play shapes and changes.
