UNLIMITED NEWS....
published 2nd May 2008
Hello Our Friends -
Many exciting things happening now or soon. Here's a round up of what's what and when.....
TRODDEN
Our new show Trodden is up and available for download. For free. YES! FREE!! Written and performed by Liz we're calling it "a walking play" - think radio play meets city-tourist-walk. With the walking being optional.
It's free to download NOW from here. For free.
NEW FACE
We're massively pleased to welcome Kate Bowen into the Unlimited fold as our new producer. Before joining Unlimited Kate was Executive Producer for Glasgow based Theatre Babel where she managed the company and led its development until 2007. She has taken mid and large scale performances to theatres throughout the UK and to leading venues and festivals across the world in countries as diverse as Canada, USA, Malaysia, Taiwan and Cyprus.
We've known Kate for a while and are very excited to now be working together.
ETHICS....
The Ethics of Progress continues to tour in May to Maidenhead, Newbury, Oxford and Manchester. It'll also be landing in the offices of Forum for the Future in London and someone is even threatening to try and turn it into a thing for the telly. Working on the basis that that probably won't happen, come and see it in a theatre - tour dates and booking details here....
ELSEWHERE
In other news......
Clare had her first radio play broadcast on BBC Radio 4 last month, has had a new play "Monsters" about child soldiers produced by West Lothian Youth Theatre and written (the brilliantly titled) Local Reality Expo as part of the Glasgow CCA's Creative Lab programme. While trying to also complete her PhD.
Liz has written and recorded Trodden, been delivering Personal Impact training courses for business organisations in (old) York and New York and graduated with a first class honours degree in psychology from the Open University.
Jon has recently been working with some brilliant students and staff from The Mary Hare School for the deaf on a family learning project in Newbury, is off to the IETM in Slovenia with Kate next week before going on a well earned holiday with wife and children so he'll be refreshed for a new (one person) play called Infinite Lives written for him by Chris Goode.
Chris is touring with Third Angel's Presumption which is appearing in Germany, Moscow and Plymouth, he's written another draft of his screenplay and has already started scouring the country in his role as a selector for next year's NSDF.
Kate has started tour booking for our new show The Moon The Moon which we're producing in early 2009, is trying to get her head round what Jon wants to do with <mixtape>, opened a new version of Moliere's School for Wives by Liz Lochhead and had a birthday.
Keeps us off the streets. Thanks for continuing to support Unlimited.
Welcome to the shows. We hope you can make it.
Best as always, JON
Artistic Director
