Typically I'd spread this information out over three blogs. It all seems blog worthy, but unlucky for me I'm skint for time.
An Inspector Calls
We've just finished our first tour of An Inspector Calls as part of our educational remit (a self imposed remit, but a remit non-the-less) and it was cracking.
A massive thank you to our awesome cast and crew who worked hard to make the show possible. We had some amazing responses from schools and audiences which is really gratifying as this work is an important part of our companies ethos and eco-system and we love it as much as making our own unique things.
A thank to all the schools, venues and audiences who trusted us enough to interpret this classic, and supported our production.
Dr Frankenstein's Travelling Freak Show
So up next is Dr Frankenstein's Travelling Freak Show which will be returning to Landan Tan for one night as part of Incoming Festival at The New Diorama Theatre. It's at 7.00pm on the 26th of May so if you'd like to come alongs pleases dosies.
After that we hope the next outing of DFTFS will be in San Diego and San Francisco at the begining of July.
The Old Man - A Work in Progress
At the end of this month, Working as part of National Theatre Wales #WalesLab, we will begin a research and development project into our newest personal project: The Old Man.
The project looks to deal with immediate social and economical issues surrounding the system of treatment for the elderly in modern Britain, with an explorative journey into the human emotins, morals, collective responsibilities and soul questions surrounding this subject matter; such as confronting death, growing older and our responsibility as a community.
Already we have met and interviewed elderly people who recieve care at their own homes, but one other aspect we'd like to explore is residential care.
We're looking to collect stories, ask questions, play games, have conversations and make a performance - discussion with you.
On the 6th of June at Barnabas Arts House we will be hosting a Sharing of our work in progress, to which a small audience will be invited and asked for there thoughts on our work in progress. If you would like to come along to this event then please email: tinshedtheatre@gmx.com with the subject matter: THE OLD MAN
We have many questions at this point. Almost all of them are unanswered.
