Creating the Set for Duty

Andy has been busy! He’s been sawing up a palette, and ripping up decking in our back garden. And we now have 4 crates I’m very pleased to say, to be in the “barn”, for John, Joe, Harry and Mags to sit on, when they are there.

And yes they will be sanded so they don’t give anyone splinters!

Starting with one, it became a stack of four

First World War Outfitting

Director Susanne Crosby and actor Jordan Southwell had a brilliant time at Gladrags looking for World War One soldier uniforms for my upcoming play “Duty” at the Fringe, plus clothing suitable for working on a farm. Gladrags is like Aladdin’s cave, a treasure trove, filled to the brim with all manner of clothing, sometimes overwhelming and some spaces you can hardly move in! Jordan is one of the actors in “Duty” and was amazing at finding suitable clothing and trying on different sizes and combinations.

It was something else to see him in a First World War uniform.

Even in socks.

Brilliant.

Tickets are going fast – don’t forget to book! Tickets are available on both Brighton Fringe and The Lantern Theatre so if it’s sold out on one, there might be tickets on the other.

Loyalty – Brighton Fringe 2024

We’re back! Happy Fringe everyone!

We are thrilled to partner with Gin Palace Productions for our new production: “Loyalty – Lady Montague and Lady Capulet”.

What happens after ‘Romeo and Juliet’? Lady Montague waits for Lady Capulet – a long standing family rivalry hides a long forgotten friendship. What happened to them? What have they become? And is there any way through this minefield of feelings, trying to remember who they are, versus what is expected of them as wives and mothers?

A play about loyalty: to family, to your children, your partner – and most of all to yourself: what you know and feel to be right. A poignant, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic look at the lives of two women who we know so little about.

Features the magnificent Sam Nixon and the wonderful Suse Crosby.

Wednesday 29, Thursday 30 May, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June

6.45 – 1 hour

at Bar Broadway (off Broadway), Brighton, BN2 1TY
