The Big Society #2
14th November, 2011
Hello
So last week there were two nights of The Big Society project as part of Live Lab @ Live Theatre.
It was a pretty ambitious project. Rosie Kellagher (Director) from Live Theatre had asked a number of writers to contribute monologues, scenes, manifestos and so forth that would fit under the title 'Party Conference.'
I was one of them. I think I sort of wrote about four scenes and two speeches by the end of it...I forget...it's all a cheery blur...
The other writers were Bridget Dean, Tom Chaplin and Phil Ormrod.
During the evening of the 'conference' there were short films, workshops, scenes, speeches...even a big sing-a-long...the audience joined in for some scenes and generally seemed to enjoy themselves...
The wonderful cast were:
Phil Ormrod (Also co-directed)
I think some of the audience were a little confused. There was a whole lot of theatre coming at them...but you know...overall...I thought it was a lot of fun and had tonnes of potential.
So there.
Have a great week y'all.
