The Opportunity of Efficiency
Information
April 2013
Inspired by the growth of efficiency as a force for change in society and the influence of big business on national and international affairs, The Opportunity of Efficiency is a story of small lives caught up in a global power struggle.
Bio-scientist Iffy Scott has made a discovery that could save millions of lives – but, it seems, not everyone thinks it’s a good idea.
Alan Harris (writer of National Theatre Wales’ first ever production, A Good Night Out in the Valleys) returns to create the company’s first ever international commission, produced by theNew National Theatre, Tokyo.

Rehearsal Blog 3 covers the whole of the second week of rehearsals. It's all about brown paper! Also, I'm asking for suggestions for a song by a Welsh band to be in the show. Do let me know any ideas you have. It needs to be something a hip, handsome 25 year old would listen to on the radio, but also something that later in the play can act as a background track to the morning rituals of a whole range of characters. Do let me know any ideas - just list any tracks here.

So, the adventure has begun. NTW's time in Japan will involve our first ever overseas production - The Opportunity of Efficiency by Alan Harris, our first international Assembly - The Tokyo Assembly - and a search for Japanese artists to become part of WalesLab. I've been here six days, and more members of the team will join over the coming weeks, building to a flurry of Japan-Wales creative joy in the first half of April. I've posted a rehearsal blog here and will try to keep the updates coming.
