    Interview: Eve Lytollis on why Paperboy isn’t really an all boys affair

    Paperboy

    Two self-proclaimed “journalists”, Matt and Matthew, are the founders of newspaper The Desperate Times. Matt likes to think of himself as the top dog, saying and doing as he pleases, and hopefully making everyone else go wild with awe in the process; Matthew, meanwhile, is the beta male to Matt’s alpha, which in this case pretty much just means that he thinks a little more before he speaks (sometimes), and feels a little less compelled to constantly talk about his genitalia.

    Supported by their long-suffering assistant, Phoebe, they think they’re the dog’s bollocks – although she’d probably say that in itself is a load of bollocks… So when the effects of boys’ cheeky chat start to show, is it really all as harmless as they think?

    Written by Eve LytollisDirected by Amy Tickner

    Paperboy will be performing as part of Camden Fringe 2021. It plays at Lion and Unicorn Theatre from 5 – 7 August, 8.30 each evening. Tickets and further information via the below link.

    Interview: Noga Flaishon takes us deep into the Bunker

    Listen to our recent chat with Noga Flaishon from Harpy Productions, where she tells us all about upcoming show, Bunker, as well as discussing her love of post apocalypic stories, the lack of sci-fi on the stage and why too many TV series overstay their welcome.

    This interview was originally broadcast on Runn Radio on 14 July.

    Bunker

    BUNKER is an original theatre production that explores the cruelty and perseverance of the human mind. The story focuses on two women, Maya and Alex, who are trapped inside the titular Bunker after an apocalyptic event known only as ‘The Collapse’ claimed all civilization. One of them is desperate to leave; the other will stop at nothing to keep them there.

    Bunker draws from the post-apocalypse sub genre of science fiction (as seen in films and books such as The Road, The Walking Dead, and Cloverfield Lane) to examine mental illness through an allegorical lens. The show has gained support from groups such as BORDERLINE ARTS (the only Charity in the UK that focuses specifically on Borderline Personality Disorder) and STEPPING OUT THEATRE (the country’s leading mental health theatre group).

    Staying true to their motto of “Wicked Women Telling Weird Tales”,HARPY PRODUCTIONS is creating BUNKER with an entirely female team. Bunker will be Directed, Produced and Cast by a strong crew of women from various backgrounds within the creative arts industry.

    BUNKER was written by NOGA FLAISHON, who is a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. She’s been involved in various theatre productions, as well as short films. With a strong vision for her story, Noga is the driving force behind this production.

    Director CORAL TARRAN is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and has recently returned to the UK. As well as having advanced training in acting and dancing, she has a strong background in improvisation and has acted in various Theatre Productions. She is now looking to kick-start her career as a Theatre Director.

    Producer KATIE PRATTEN is a Writer, Assistant Producer and Trainee Assistant Director at ‘Pixeleyed Pictures’, a production company dedicated to tackling current socio-political issues, and who are at the heart of the British Film / Broadcast Industry in Pinewood Studios.

    Bunker will play at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre between 8 and 11 August. Tickets can be purchased via the below link. More

    Interview: Morosophy go all Intropection

    Replay our interview with Cordelia and Josh from Morosophy about their show Introspection, available online as part of Brighton Fringe Festival, plus their Edinburgh Fringe plans for their show, For All The Love You Lost.

    Introspection is a unique approach to storytelling, allowing audiences to create their own narrative in their mind with the assistance of audio, soundscape and one nameless performer, guiding the audience, raising questions such as: How do we perceive the world? How do we perceive ourselves? and how do our perceptions change, while our eyes remain the same? This experience allows audiences to create a stage in their minds, using their senses to experience their own unique performance. The audience’s unique experience is a consequence of their own actions, perceptions and the aesthetics of interaction. No two audience members will share the same experience.

    Morosophy emerged in 2019 at Royal Holloway University of London, initiated by Joshua Thomas as he presented his debut original piece ‘For All the Love you Lost’. Since then, the company has dived deep into the creation of new and original writing. Morosophy were shortlisted for TheSpaceUK’s Make do and mend award for ingenuity in lockdown award for their virtual production of ‘To Me, That’s What Love is’ in Online@TheSpace Season 2. Morosophy have now joined creative forces with Somerset based company Black Hound Productions to explore more digital avenues and are delighted to present the audio experience, Introspection.

    More details and booking information for Introspection can be found via the below link. More
