		<description><![CDATA[As we mentioned in a recent posting, when the building of a new theatre on King Street was proposed in the 1760s, 50 supporters pledged £50 towards the construction. As a return on their investment, they were each presented with an individually numbered silver token, entitling them to &#8221;the sight of every performance to be exhibited in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sleepdogs (my inter-wotsit and cross-thingummy collaboration with Tanuja Amarasuriya) are showing our sound play The Morpeth Carol at a Bristol Old Vic near you, this December.

Developed through the really quite wonderful Ferment programme, it’s a funny and scary show where we tell the audience a bedtime tale in the near-dark, complete with a blanket of cinematic sound effects. And OK, whilst it’s not exactly the most visually spectacular piece, it’s still visceral and vivid in that way Sleepdogs have made our own… mostly because of how intimate and direct the show is. The idea is to strip the live experience down to its bare essentials*: if you want, you can just close your eyes and drift into the world we create; but if not, then never fear, because the cast are - for the most part - a right bunch of lookers.

		<description><![CDATA[The Morpeth Carol is a sound play; visuals scarce to non-existent with an emphasis on description and atmosphere. The story revolves around 9 year-old Harry’s discovery of a mysterious figure among snowy wreckage at Christmas time, and the unfolding events. Being approached to produce a visual facet for this performance, in the form of an illustration, is a slightly daunting task; putting a face on something without a face, risking compromising the element of imagination crucial to the event, and at the same time capturing those descriptions as well.]]></description>
