When making a play about the end of the world, it'd be hard to not be too over dramatic... So instead we are embracing that instinct and whacking up to eleven.
This week we properly kick-start our new project Apocalypso. It's been two years in the think-tank, and this June we will be bringing it to life in the Riverfront Basement for five glorious nights.
Here's a lil more about the show:
A few years ago now I fell asleep on the bus and dreamt of this odd giant chicken man and his gas-masked companion. They were in an abyss of dirt and relics of an ancient time, only it was our time now, but not as we see it. It was grimy, and dark, and morose and as soon as I was jolted awake, I took out my
no
te pad and drew a picture. Later on that night I wrote a short story based on this snippet of a dream (you read it here). Looking at that original picture, and seeing what we've started to create I'm absolutely in awe of it all. Not because o
f the experience of having a dream (literally a dream) breathed to life, but having the unfaltering support and willingness of Georgina to indulge in concept. It's a testament to our relationship and our work that we can support one another like this, and very soon after sharing the initial provocation it became "our idea". Now as Tin Shed Theatre Co. we return to our ultimate form to create a mad-ass dark clown art experience that will make you both revolt and rejoice.
