So It Goes in Shanghai

As soon as we got back from Georgia, we took So It Goes to China, to perform at Shanghai Contemporary Theatre Festival.  It was a brilliant trip, where we played to big, friendly audiences as part of an incredibly exciting programme of innovative, international work.

We spoke to audiences as part of a post-show Q&A and also took part in a panel discussion about physical comedy, where we had the chance to talk about the Jacques Lecoq School to a Chinese audience who, for the most part, weren't aware of his work and his legacy.

Massive thanks to everyone in Shanghai and to the British Council!

So It Goes in Georgia

We spent three weeks in Batumi, Georgia recreating So It Goes in a new Georgian-language production, with two Georgian actors.

The show opened to a full house and received a standing ovation.  It will continue to run for a further fifteen performances, as part of Batumi Drama Theatre's repertoire of work. 

A huge thank you to Batumi Drama Theatre, British Council and to the region of Adjara's Ministry For Culture, who made the project possible.

Four stars in The Times for Tell Me Anything

Here's today's four star review for Tell Me Anything from Donald Hutera at The Times.  Book now for performances at Shoreditch Town Hall, London from 20th September to 1 October, or Margate Theatre Royal on 17th September.

Tell Me Anything

We've been working on our new show Tell Me Anything for most of the summer, finishing up with work in progress performances at Shoreditch Town Hall.  Thanks to all our audiences, your support and feedback is invaluable!

The show is about David's experiences of caring for his teenage girlfriend, who was anorexic and bulimic, when he was fifteen.  We're indebted to Charlotte Rhind for her fantastic insights throughout our rehearsals, as well as the many other eating disorder experts we've spoken to over the past few months.

It's also been a pleasure to collaborate with musician Lilly Neubauer and our old friend Emma Tompkins.  Finally, a big thank you to Alex Brenner for these fantastic rehearsal photos.

We plan to open the show next year, so stay tuned for updates!

Development of Tell Me Anything has been kindly supported by Camden People's Theatre, The North Wall, Shoreditch Town Hall and Arts Council, England.
