The Special Guests' news...
Submitted by The Special Guests on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 10:17
After almost a year of silence (everyone's been off doing other things), we're about to embark on a few week's rehearsals in August for our new show Something Got a Hold of Me, which we showed a work-in-progress of last October. We'll be showing it in Edinburgh as part of the Forest Fringe's Bristol weekend, and then all being well, showing it in a community centre or somesuch place in Bristol in October. Then, come November, we'll be undertaking our first international gigs, showing the piece twice in Germany.

From Friday 11th to Saturday 12th September, Residence will be moving in to the Tobacco Factory and calling it home. They'll be hosting drinks, dinner and then a breakfast to recover the morning after the night before. Between the food and the friendly chat there will be discussion and debate about theatre, work-in-progress showings, open rehearsals and the opportunity to meet other theatre-makers and audiences.

Indie by Numbers
Submitted by Ed Rapley on Fri, 26/06/2009 - 23:51
I have just watch a film i really hated. It was indie by numbers. It was formulaic to the point of insult. It was bereft of true feeling in it's inception and execution. It was god awful.
Sunshine Cleaners - From the *producers* who brought you Little Miss Sunshine.
Right there, that's it the whole reason why this is an awful film, it's not the Director, Writer, or any other member of the creative team bringing you this film, it's the PRODUCERS.
That means it's the sweaty-palmed money-men thinking:
"If we touch their hearts, they'll give us money."

Midnight Matinee Round Up
Submitted by Ed Rapley on Thu, 25/06/2009 - 13:24
Now this is long over due.
Just the day after I performed my first full work in progress presentation of The Middle Bit at the Arnolfini i was off to London to put on a 15 minute version at the Tristan Bates Theatre's Midnight Matinees.
As the name suggests this happens from midnight onwards and it comprises work in progress and development performances. That night there was a script reading by, ah right, this is the problem i have forgotten the details and lost the info sheet i had so maybe i will update this once i've tidied my room.

My Show at The Ustinov
Submitted by Ed Rapley on Wed, 24/06/2009 - 18:35
For the first time in nearly a year I performed 10 Ways to Die on Stage. It was an absolute pleasure, The Ustinov is a lovely black box theatre with helpful technical staff, a nice layout and a good lighting set up.
I performed the show for a small audience of teenagers who are part of a theatre programme run by the Lovely Sita Calvert - Ennals. It was really interesting playing with their reactions and the material often took on new timings and i improvised some new stuff as i went, which felt really good.

Come and see the first performances of our new show Something Got a Hold of Me at Forest Fringe in Edinburgh this summer.
Something Got a Hold of Me is a performance about religious cults, charismatic leaders, power, persuasion, weakness and how everyone is really just looking for something, a little something to make them happy.
