Invisible Show II – opening
Red Shift’s Invisible Show II opened yesterday in the hustle and bustle of a sunny Pleasance Courtyard. Whilst the intimate scenes aim to discretely disappear into the crowd, a large and enthusiastic audience ensure that the focus of the pack is tight in on the action. For many, part of the game of the show […]

“…be again, BE again…”
…With those strains of Beckett still trailing me, I return to Brum with a vigour, and time to focus on overdue work that’s suffered from the disruptions of touring. Meanwhile, as summer festival-time approaches, I’m feeling the thrill of a three-pronged performance assault ; 1. BE festival. Just what Birmingham needed….and the BE Team actually […]

It has been 3 days since my last posting. The early release and reception of Al-Megrahi has had the press in a spin. Meanwhile the cauldron of the Festival is also bubbling furiously.

we happy phew
Week two of the Fringe passes and my mood seems to shift from one 4 hour period to the next. The experience is so intense at times that you feel you might only be able to really appreciate it once it’s all done and dusted. I’ve racked up 22 shows as audience member, I think, […]

A visit to the Western General
A technically under par show yesterday prompted us to rework some material this morning, in particular the refinement of the overt physical sections, including ‘Fight 2’ and the addressing of our naked scenes, in danger of getting a bit safe. ‘Fight 2’ involves an approach, a slap, a push and a restraint, ending with a […]

a first review
While we were twiddling our thumbs and biting our nails waiting for the Baptist Times to go to press, The EdinburghGuide.com snuck throught in the outside lane to delivered this online review.
