It's the night before opening and things are looking great.  As is always the way everybody looks about 430 years old and I have literally been eating anything that is within a 100m radius.  Ticket sales are going well - so BOOK NOW anyone who hasn't done so already!  I'm off to hit the hay, and will wake up refreshed, revived and with lashings and lashings of touche eclait on the eyes to not

Not if this is anything to go by. Here are the out-takes from the filming of the Marymassacre trailer. Hope you enjoy! Johnny x Out-takes trailer

Can you believe it? Its flown in and now we are on the 7 day countdown until the show opens. As promised (albeit later but hey nobody's perfect!) here's a sneaky peak of the Marymassacre show - it was taken on the first day of rehearsals! Enjoy Johnny x Marymassacre Trailer

And its Friday of week one already - how did that happen? As is always the way, what starts off as a show with 'no props to source thank you' has become a mammoth shopping list (and of course the rather dubious conversation as to whether to buy out of Asda or M&S). Yes, it appears that Marymassacre is going to be a lovely wee day for a picnic: which means that poor Josie and Kim will be, by

And we are officially off and running... Today was day one of rehearsals for Marymassacre - its a wee bit mad to think we open in just over two weeks. The read through was great, the set model looks smashing, the LX design is off and running and we've started blocking (and also filmed a short trailer for your consumption - look out for this later in the week). We're channelling the style of a

There are hopes that 2009 will see the Scottish tour of 'Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical.' Until then, there's a wee trailer on youtube to keep you warm and cosy! Jx

And we're back.... Yes, its been a loooonnnggg while since either Julie or myself have posted anything online but we are returning with a whole feast of new goodies for your perusal. First up its new performance piece MARYMASSACRE, specially commissioned by the Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine to run during their Marymass festival. The show runs on Weds 20th, Thur 21st and Frid 22nd August at

Firstly, Happy New Year. We hope your 2008 is full of twists, turns, surprises and successes. We are staring at a calendar trying to work out where the months are going. 2008 is set to be a busy and exciting year for Random Accomplice. We are currently collaborating with Douglas Maxwell, script writer, on a new production called 'HUMBUG'. This is scheduled to arrive later on in the year of

Julie is about the begin rehearsals for the Arches Theatre Company's upcoming performance of 'The Water-Babies'. This classic piece of children's literature will be staged at The Arches from 5th December > 6th January at various times throughout the month. Check out http://www.thearches.co.uk/WaterBabies.htm for information on times and dates. Be sure to attend this magical piece of

Well folks, Time has flew so fast and Johnny's run of 'Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical' is over. It ran for 4 sell out nights at The Arches and has been getting a lot of positive reviews from the press. Thank you to everyone who supported this production and we hope you enjoyed the performance(s). What's next, I hear you ask? PANTO!! As time draws nearer to Christmas, it's time to enter

It's that time of the week again for a blog update. We are looking at a shoebox. A scaled shoebox the size of The Arches studio theatre space. We are looking at the scaled model of 'Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical' set. Meanwhile; Johnny is working hard to memorize the 40 page script -- the joys of the one man show! Julie is busy choreographing and blocking the show. Karen is busy carrying her

That's right folks; the rehearsals are underway for Johnny's new show. As time ticks down to the performance, we are at work refining and editing scripts, compositions and Julie is in full choreographic swing as she teaches Johnny the classic box step. Will it make the show? Whilst in these rehearsals, one has the urge to burst suddenly into song. So far I have managed to contain myself. Get

Hi, I’ve just embarked a six month internship with Random Accomplice and thought a nice place to begin would be with an introduction. My name is Kevin Wratten and I’ll be doing my best to mediate the weekly happenings of RA onto this virtual hyperspace that is the Internet. Right now, music rings our ears as we enter rehearsals for ‘Little Johnny’s Big Gay Musical’ which will be performed in

Disappointing news at Random House after discovering that current project REUNION was not successful in the current round of funding at Scottish Arts Council. Obviously we were really excited at the prospect of touring again throughout Scotland early next Spring. However we have dried our eyes, washed out our snotty hankies and stopped feeling sorry for ourselves - after all every cloud has a

Things are starting to kick off again here at Random House. We've barely even got the dirty laundry washed after our fantastic time in Prague when its back to work on more projects. Late June saw us working at the RSAMD with the BA (Acting) course on our new project REUNION - which we hope to tour in 2008. It was a great few days and has really got us excited about the next major tour. July

And so the bags are packed, currency ordered and suntan lotion applied (just in the off-chance that its sunny when we land). We are off with LITTLE JOHNNY'S BIG GAY ADVENTURE to the Prague Festival after playing a few dates in Glasgow and Stirling (lovely audiences at all). Whilst over in Prague the Random's are also working with the Playwrights Studio USA on new readings of both American and

After a few weeks stuck in the basement armed and dangerous with only the script from Little Johnny's Big Gay Adventure, the show opened at the Arches last week. Thank you to everyone who attended the show - the reception and feedback has been really positive. For anyone who missed the show (what were you doing? Watching Eurovision? Hang your head in shame!) we still have another Scottish

Julie and Johnny had their second week of funded development provided by The National Theatre of Scotland Workshop on ‘PROJECT RECAST' in February 2007. The work-in-progress questions whether someone else could live your life better than you do. What does humour aim to hide? Do we always have to face up to the truth? Oh yes and, of course, what are the consequences of sex? “Julie grabbed her

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

Exciting developments at the Random House. We're escaping Glasgow to tour around Scotland. Goodbye Sauchiehall Street, hello fresh air! 2006 will see Random Accomplice on tour with sell-out performances SOMETHING WICKED and LITTLE JOHNNY'S BIG GAY ADVENTURE. Keep posted for details.

Just thought we'd let you know that Julie and Johnny are planning on presenting a 10 minute performance entitled RESOLUTION as part of the Arches Scratch Night, Tuesday 24th January at 7.30 pm (Pay What You Can). It's just over a week away so get that date in your diary! ** They're trying to perform together again, its been a while (1 year, 4 months and 1 day to be precise). He now thinks he's
