Hello,
apologies for cross-posting!
You may be interested in a Whole New Theatre production at The
King`s Head, Islington on 24th & 25th September, 8pm, £6.
The play - "a metaphysical spy thriller" - uses the language model
of neuro-linguistic programming which admittedly looks strange on
paper but works very effectively and traditionally under direction.
After workshopping the play in `91 Soho Theatre said that their four-
week rehearsal period was not enough for the actors to get to grips
with the play and they decided not to take it on.
The Love Code was runner-up in the Verity Bargate Award for new
writing in 1990/91 when 2 of the judges said it wasn`t a play at all!
Perhaps they were right - it`s now a musical with original jazz
ballads and swing numbers to accompany the themes of love,
work, humanity, philosophy.
Paines Plough Theatre said at the time "It`s like watching Beckett
for the first time - there`s something great going on but we don`t
know what it is!" The songs set the mood firmly in sophisticated
romance and good times so the combination is set to give an
intriguing and enthralling show.
We premiere at the Beverley Jazz Festival 21st & 22nd then have
the 2 nights in London before returning to Wordquake East
Yorkshire Literature Festival on the 29th September.
Then the whole show goes online for perhaps a world first!?! If you
know different I`d be pleased to hear about it. We've have been
unable to find online theatre although we're sure it must exist.
Please come see and hear for yourself the inaugural show with
professional cast from TV, theatre and the jazz scene!
