2nd May 2010...............

Another very succesful night in March with both shows completely sold out once again.  We're now getting much more attention from the industry and many of the writers, directors and actors are gaining offers of work directly as a result of taking part which is FANTASTIC news!!  Here's to an even better show in June!

Rebecca from Bare Bones is also currently starting up an informal monthly rehearsed reading event - Saturday Matinee @ The Old Queens Head, N1.  This will be a regular informal event on the last Saturday of every month, bring your pint in to see some great new plays read and possibly even some performance poetry too!  There's a bar in the room and entry will be pay what you can, so no excuses!  Do something different with your Saturday afternoons.  First show is 3pm on May 29th. 

25th March 2010.............

Just heading into the last weekend of prep and rehearsals.  Had an unfortunate last minute change to one of the plays - director Cathal Cleary will now be directing Benjamin Kissel's Just Chuck.  The joys of fringe!  Looking forward to Monday!  Hope you've all got your tickets.
