Random Accomplice in Dolls House Terror Plunge

Hello Randomees - as Autumn approaches that 'leaves' us no choice but to update you on our Summer festivities. No sun, san or Sangria stories but instead preparations for our Scottish tour of Something Wicked beginning rehearsals in September. But more of that later.

We've just completed a development week with the National Theatre of Scotland Workshop. The week was a collaboration with Phelim McDermott (Improbable Theatre), playwright Douglas Maxwell, Random-Regular David Sneddon, and new to the team, Ruth Ogston and Dave Shea. Headed under the soon-to-be-changed-cos-we-couldn't-think-of-anything-better title of PROJECT RECAST we've been looking at how we remember things. Or don't in Julies case. (See Julies coupon opposite for something you'd rather forget!) Can you remember your first day of school or do you remember what your mammy told you? Do you remember your first kiss or do you only remember the moment leading up to it? We've discovered that we can barely remember what we had for breakfast but can still recite the rap section of Club Tropicana.

During the week we also (re)discovered a love for the classics - Ibsen, Strindberg, Brecht and Bobby Brown's 'Two Can Play That Game.' Could the Randoms make a show just like those classics and still keep a flavour of our delightful charm? Time will tell....
