So, Andy came into the office this morning and told me we are going to be on Channel 4’s “Country House Rescue” on March 18th 2010…that’s pretty cool eh?!

We Are Going to the West End!
Yesssss! As alot of you will probably already know, our tour of “Romeo and Juliet” went really well and now we have secured a week long slot in a London theatre!
This is a major opportunity for us to raise our profile with the big boys down in London, theatre is literally massive in our capital city and this provides us with the chance to show that we are up there with the best of them.
We have a great script (he’s alright that Shakespeare), a great team, a cracking set, hilarious premise and some quality set pieces (including that memorable chase scene) so we are really looking forward to taking London by storm!
For more info please visit the tours section of our website.
See you in London! Peace, Kee!

Last week of Romeo and Juliet
So, the last week of “Romeo and Juliet” is upon us! It has been an absolutely fantastic run so far. We have had some incredible feedback from venues, audience members and newspaper reviewers.
The last week of the tour takes us to Telford, Kendal, our home performance in Derby and then we finish off in Hereford. You can book tickets by visiting our box office!
While the cast are out on the road for the final week, Andy, Frances and I are in the office working on marketing for the summer production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and next winter’s production of “Hamlet: The Comedy”.
Also, we are looking at the potential of taking “R&J” to London. I’m sure that most of you who have seen this tour will agree it’s a pretty spectacular show…car chases, huge musical numbers, innovative technology, fat blokes climbing up balconys and all the rest of it…and as such we feel confident to be able to approach London venues and try to get some dates down there. Any thoughts, feedback or words of support/encouragement would be greatly welcomed at this time!
Till next post, Peace Out, Kee

Happy New Year to All!
So, we are back in the office at the start of a new year!
2010 promises to be an exciting one for us…we are tackling “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” this summer and in the winter we shall be giving you “Hamlet: The Comedy”! We already have some pretty fabulous thoughts on both productions, including the return of the power-jumpers from “Richard III” and some new uses of the set and screen for “Hamlet”.
We will let you know tour dates etc as soon as we know them!
In the meantime, hope those of you who are still getting to enjoy our current production of “Romeo and Juliet” are looking forward to further treats in the coming year!
Best wishes to all, God Bless, Kee x

Romeo and Juliet out on the road!
So, “R&J” is out on the road and the cast have been sending us feedback from audiences who have been really enjoying it so far! Great stuff!
As of this post, I’ve seen it seven times and it is honestly getting better and better…Andy is going out to see it tonight (in York) so hopefully he will see an ever better performance!
We are loving all the emails we have been getting about the show and really value your feedback so, please, keep them coming!
Until next time, Big Love, Kee

Romeo and Juliet - Food for thought!
It’s the end of the summer and we are quickly approaching rehearsals for our winter tour of “Romeo and Juliet”. This means set designs being bandied about the office, ideas being bounced around the office and cups of coffee being thrown around the office!
The production is really beginning to take shape with an original concept already being formed and casting taking place in the next month or so. The successful return of Andy to the stage in “Richard III” means we will be casting some old and familiar faces in this one too…who knows, we may even see Elli back out on the road! How exciting!

Richard III returns home!
Last week, after a very successful summer tour, the “Richard III” cast returned back to base exhilarated, satisfied, tired and a little hungover! The show was fantastically well received all around the country and the positive audience feedback and emails have kept us happily rolling along. Andy, the company director, who has had a six year break from treading the boards returned to perform the lead of Richard and he was welcomed back with open arms.
So, at the end of yet another tour, with the touring pageant wagon tucked away neatly into a corner we swiftly moved into the main production phase of our next tour: “Romeo and Juliet”.
