We make moment-specific (unscripted) theatre. We love creating people with all their complexities and mundanity on stage. What joy. :)
We had a cracker of a week last week! And here are a few comments folk committed to social media to share their thoughts with their followers and communities. We're really grateful to everyone who came, and everyone who helped us make it!

What did y'all think of the finale to Stranger Things? There's not a little overlap with some of the themes of our show next week...monstrous humanoids with tendrils, tentacles, parallel worlds, those who should know better messing with the mind...that kind of thing.

We hope you're having a magnificent Christmas! We've been watching 'A Ghost Story for Christmas' on BBC - perfect tone for our upcoming show! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
A Ghost Story for Christmas - The Room in the Tower
Roger has been haunted by a recurring dream, a mysterious house and an unseen terror. He becomes disturbed as they become reality. What is lurking in the room in the tower?

One of our favourite warm-ups is 'Improv Yoga'. Someone will name an obscure, made-up yoga pose, someone else will lead us in adopting the pose. This week, it was show-themed... 😃

Yesterday, we went to one of Cambridge's most joyous annual events Mill Road Winter Fair - mulled cider, tasty hog roast (plus vegetarian alternative) featured heavily! It was nice to see Dale's Brewery and oysters for sale after both featured in today's rehearsal!

And...we're no slouches on the #performing #directing front either! Erica's been directing her students in #Guys&Dolls, which is playing this week in #BuryStEdmunds. And Carla has been playing alt comedy and cabaret nights in London, appearing as various characters/clowns. 😃

Well, it's the end of the holiday season, so we've said the final goodbyes to the visitors, put away the karaoke machine, stored the suitcases, and swept aside the beaded curtain for the last time. Four great shows in four completely different places.
