LATEST NEWS!

The Black Box goes down a treat If you had told us back in February that we’d have done what have this year I wouldn’t have believed you. At the beginning of this year it looked pretty grim – another year of not much, with not much support or attention. ACE funding wasn’t going to happen, it looked like it was going to cost us a small fortune (again!) and we wasn’t sure whether to take the leap and risk or not...but we did. And it’s paid off (halleluiah!). It was clear that we had a lot… Continue

REAL CIRCUMSTANCE’S ASSOCIATED ARTIST GROUP ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR A PERMANENT THEATRE COMPANY

Much of theatre today is driven by a process whereby theatre artists are brought together for one show, rehearsing for a short period of time and then parting company. We feel a stronger theatre is possible through establishing a permanent theatre company that possesses a shared outlook on life. By developing a common technique and language for the rehearsal room, and by working over an extended period of time, the group will make theatre t… Continue
