Press Release Friday, December 30, 2011

To Edinburgh?

Well that's settled then.
MADD Theatre Company is going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer.
Following a successful tour of Somerset towns we as a company decided to take our home written show on this ambitious project. And I daftly agreed to assist with publicity...

The show is titled Retail Therapy. Written by Kat Wilsher and Sophy Layzell it centres on a department store in the near future. Filled with love, deceit and faulty equipment the long suffering staff low through the sales period! The music for the show was all written by Natalie Wilsher and even now we still hum the tunes!
So, we have our full cast, our very excited technical team and hopefully our venue of choice! The re writes have been done (it had be condensed from 1hr40 over three acts to 1hr over1!) and we are redesigning the set . We are ready!
So, do you want to support a local predominantly youth theatre group who have the ingenuity, drive, creativity and talent to take this quirky little show to one of the greatest arts festival in the world? If so then keep watching for press releases about fundraising, sponsorship and previews!

The Fringe, MADD is coming!

PS Read the main blog to view photos of the the tour, one from each venue, a church, a warehouse, a kickboxing centre, a dancehall and a village hall!
