    Interview: I.D.S.T. What Does It All Mean?

    by

    Jack Condon on his play If. Destroyed. Still. True.

    This week’s guest on our Runn Radio show was Jawbone Theatre‘s Jack Condon. Jack is a writer and actor, and If. Destroyed. Still. True. will be his first full length play when it comes to the Hope Theatre between 26 April and 14 May.

    We hear about the play and its themes of what happens when the place you grew up is no longer a place you feel you can call home, and how that affects relationships. As Jack explains, it is a theme he feels is universal and something experienced by so many people.

    We also hear why the play was originally going to simply be called I.D.S.T. and what the phrase means, plus why the play is being filmed and how he hopes this will allow it to be seen by audiences in small towns and villages who may associate with its themes.

    If. Destroyed. Still. True. plays at The Hope Theatre from 26 April. Further information and bookings can be found here. More

      Interview: Down In The Tube Station At Midnight

      by

      Actor and writer Will Charlton on two plays, Jumper and The Boys

      Our guest on our Runn Radio show this week was Will Charlton. Will is both an actor and writer, so there was plenty to chat about. He is currently preparing to play in Joshua King‘s Jumper at Lion and Unicorn Theatre, and straight after that, he is then gearing up for his own play, The Boys, to make its debut at New Wimbledon Theatre’s Studio space.

      Jumper is set across two time frames five years apart, both on the night’s of elections. And in the first, he is stuck on the underground with a host of other passengers. Whilst The Boys is about struggling to pay the rent and considering the option of becoming a male escort. Both gave us plenty to talk about.

      Jumper plays at Lion and Unicorn between 5 and 9 April. More information and bookings here. More

      Interview: Beware, the Zombies are here

      by

      Paper Mug Theatre’s Seb Gardner on Steve and Tobias Verses Death

      We first come across Seb Gardner and Paper Mug Theatre last summer with I Lost My Virginity To Chopin’s Nocturne In B-Flat Minor. Since then they have clearly been busy, as they already have two new shows ready for the stage. The first of which is Steve and Tobias Versus Death.

      Originally planned for the now cancelled Vault Festival, this zombie apocalypse horror is now heading to The Pleasance in March. And of course, with ET being big fans of horror (well, some of us are, others are just scaredy cats), it seemed a great time to chat with Seb about the show, and ask, will there be plenty of fake blood flying around? We also discuss I Lost My Viriginity and what they have planned for the rest of 2022.

      Steve and Tobias Versus Death plays at The Pleasance between 15 and 19 March. You can book tickets here. More

      Interview: Belinda McGuirk invites us all to EverAfter

      by

      Anyone who has ever been to see a Chickenshed Christmas show will know what a big affair it is. This year they are doing EverAfter, and directing it will be Belinda McGuirk. So it felt a good time to chat with Belinda about the show, her involvement with Chickenshed and how you even start directing 800 performers.

      EverAfter – A Mixed Up Fairytale!

      When Hansel and Gretel are left to fend for themselves in the Wild Woods, a series of events is set in motion, taking the two children on a journey through some of our best loved fairytales. Come and be enchanted by mischievous Princesses, who dance until their shoes are worn out; meet – at least one – wicked stepmother intent on revenge; sympathise with Hansel and Gretel’s father, who searches the forest for a sign of his beloved children; and laugh, boo and hiss at the man with no name…

      Chickenshed is thrilled to announce the return of its Christmas Show with EverAfter. Featuring their famously large and amazingly diverse cast, this mixed up fairytale will be a dazzling and unforgettable theatrical journey for adults and children alike. More

      Who Cares? National Tour

      ‘The Alarm Rings. I take a breath. Then it starts’

      Sitting at the back of the bus, skipping the lunch queue and skiving lessons. At school Nicole, Jade and Connor are just like everybody else. But when they get home, things are very different. 

      Nicole started caring for her mum when she was four. Every morning Nicole helps her get washed, put on clothes and eat breakfast. Jade has always cared for her brother, but she never expected to look after dad as well – now she juggles two lots of appointments, two lots of prescriptions, two lots of assessment forms. Connor cares for his mum. But he doesn’t like to talk about it. 

      ​Adapted from real-life testimonies, this bold and pertinent piece of documentary theatre examines our failing care system, the impact of austerity and what happens when a child becomes the parent.

      ​Made in partnership with The Lowry & Greater Manchester Charity, Gaddum and its Salford Carers Service. With funding by Arts Council England, Curious Minds and the Oglesby Charitable Trust.
