We've talked a bit about the origins of Life's Witness and how the idea has grown and developed. But what is the plan? Where do we intend to take the play?
It's hard to believe that the show stemmed from four people accidentally ending up in a group together. However, we very quickly learned that the four of us had similar goals, similar aims. We all wanted to make theatre that would strike a cord with people. Theatre that was understated, primarily naturalistic, but had a strong meaning behind it. But most of all, we all wanted to create theatre that was fun to be involved in; we wanted to enjoy performing and wanted the audience to enjoy watching.
Page to Stage has given us the platform to do this. It has enabled us to take the play to the next level and perform what we have spent so long creating. And we can't wait! We're so excited to share with you all something that we have worked so hard on and are really proud of. Unfortunately, Pete has moved down south to London, so we are at the stage of recasting his part, but then we are all systems go, and rehearsals will commence. We're all very excited to start working with Onur, our director, and getting back into the rehearsal room with each other again.
We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us so for, those of you who came to see the show in January. The support, and the positive feedback we received really convinced us to continue working on this. Of course the constructive criticism was useful too!!
Over the next month we will work exceptionally hard to develop this play before heading to the Liverpool to perform with Page to Stage. We'll let you know specific dates and times closer to the festival, but do check out the Page to Stage website for more info.
And after page to stage? Well who knows? There is plenty of potential to pursue a variety of avenues with Life's Witness, so we'll just see where we end up.
