It's all been about Rabbits

For some reason over the last month, Rabbits have played quite a large part of my month. For the last few weeks, there has been quite a bit of 'Rabbit' activity at the National Theatre and this month another munching Rabbit takes a visit from the Old Red Lion to Trafalgar Studios this month.

A New play by first time playwright Nina Raine. This was a really enjoyable play - well developed characters and really sparky, realistic dialogue. If let down a little by the last 10 minutes or so. Very well suited for the intimate space.

Certainly worth a visit. The show is currently running until 7th October - catch it if you can.

GRIMMS Hits Trafalgar

Walking past Trafalgar Studios up to Whitehall and was surprised to see a familiar image - our witch! - already outside the venue and listed - which is great - yet scary - as it becomes all too real and thinking about Christmas at this time is pretty ... well ... scary.


We have sold quite a few tickets for both venues already, which is very encouraging and we are currently underway working on the casting notice later this month and auditioning mid October - which is always exciting.

Watch this space!

GRIMMS in Wimbledon

Just a quick note to say that the Wimbledon dates for GRIMMS - The Final Chapter are now confirmed and are on sale here - early booking is advisable, as we sold out last year a couple of weeks before the performance and the tickets are slightly cheaper than Trafalgar!

Wee ... update

Just received an email from Mr Sean Pritchett who has set up his own blog: http://www.cagedcajun.blogspot.com/. Sean had worked with Horla on Don Q, The Horla and Sleepless Nights. I also worked with him in CoTA's production of me and billy joe mcallister.
Sean now lives in the states and is busy doing his comedy and acting thang! It's well worth checking his site - he does have a way with words. If you have any sites that would be worth recommending, then just send them through and we will add them to the links pages.

Thanks to Sean, I have also added a few more photos from the past - including a ticket stub! Be sure to check out the e-flyer below .....

Follow the rabbit this Summer

After having a meeting with the National Theatre the other day and the people we met got very excited about a rabbit - or rather a website worth visiting and an interactive website. I was scared at first, because as they were telling me, I felt I was in a middle of a scene from the 'Stepford Wives' - there eyes almost turning red and foaming at the mouth with excitement.

However I have tried and so far I am pretty curious - if you are interested, have a look at IRabbit and find out for yourself.

During the summer it is also worth catching some of the free events at the National, showing at lunchtime and early evenings - some hit and miss, but worth a try.

Also - if you get the chance, try and catch Fuerzabruta at the Roundhouse a real treat. Does not always work, but its really something different - it plays until the end of August.
