From the Old to the New....



Last week saw us finally finishing our work on The Wars of The Roses project.  We performed the three plays in Glasgow's beautiful Botanic gardens, being in Scotland it was obviously rained off for two nights but we still got a great audience coming along and appreciating the plays on Saturday morning! 


Putting the plays back up again, in such a different setting,  was a great chance to revisit the work, build on what we had already been doing and to try some new things out, all in all it turned out to be a very successful remount as you can see from our beaming smiles!


Having lived in Shakespeare land for so long we are all really really really really excited about getting started on our new plays next week.  These have been in development since near the start of the course and saw each director being teamed up with a top Scottish playwright.  The plays to be performed are The Bends by Iain F Macleod, liberty equality fraternity by Pamela Carter, Mother Maria by Ann Marie Di Mambro and Scavengers by Davey Anderson.  

We will be showing the progress of these plays right here on the blog over the next month or so, you can catch the plays at the Tron in Glasgow from 31st August-3rd September, The Cockpit in London on  7th-8th September and then finally in Edinburgh's Traverse from the 14th-17th of September.  For more details of what is on when then checkout our website.
