ADVANCED SKILLS

For members that want to develop their skills to a higher level.  We work faster and on more complex/adult projects in this class, in particular exploring the company’s performance interests in site-specific work and where performance begins and ends.  We often choose little-known pieces to broaden not only our members’ knowledge of theatre, but also our audiences’!  The group perform 2 main pieces each year, but frequently have extra smaller projects running alongside these.  In addition we often go to see theatre being performed in the area as a group, and discuss it together.  Members are pushed individually to challenge themselves and frequently achieve more than they thought they could.

For age 14-20 year olds
Fridays 5:30-8:00pm (doors open 5:15pm)

London Road
Book and lyrics by Alecky Blythe
Music and lyrics by Adam Cork

​This verbatim musical retelling of the experiences of the residents of London Road, Ipswich, around the time of the 2006 murders uses all exact words and phrasing based on interviews with those involved. It's challenging, powerful, honest, emotive and unique: everything theatre should be.
