A work in progress presented as part of Sheffield Theatres’ Pyramid Project, with Unlimited Theatre and Dead Earnest.
We had tried this as a workshop exercise with students in Lisbon, which had proved really exciting, so we revisited it in Sheffield. The single performance went really well - and prompted a great and heated discussion with/amongst the audience. Although the public were brilliant with us whilst we were out clipboarding and giving compliments, and several people from that audience of sixty people asked us later when we were going to tour the show, it never made it to the top of our priority list again. We always meant to write about it… maybe one day.
We also presented a selection of film and video pieces and the solo performance Best Laid Plans that went on to become Presumption.
