Forthcoming Shows

The LOST Theatre Company presents

“Summer Season 2010”

“3 exciting directors, 3 talented young casts...3 excellent productions.”

This Summer sees LOST continuing the company's practice of only casting actors & actresses of 27 years of age or under directed by highly regarded industry professionals. LOST present a vibrant second season in our new, purpose built home.

First James Farrell will direct ‘The Government Inspector’ by Nikolai Gogol. A satirical play that exposes the ridiculous, and often unscrupulous, pretence that local government undertakes in order to appear effective to its superiors.

Then we will see Leigh Tredgers energetic and provocative version of Henrik Ibsen's 'Peer Gynt'. A fantastic journey where we will meet seductive maidens, troll kings and ugly brats, visit insane asylums, spicy lands and misty heaths.

Closing the season will be a brand new version of 'Troilus & Cressida' adapted & directed by Adrian Brown. This will be a cross-cast production of Shakespeares ancient tale of savage comedy, great passion, vivid characters and all the heat and sweat of a long and painful campaign.

Dates:

The Government Inspector - Tuesday 20th - Saturday 24th July

Peer Gynt - Tuesday 27th - Saturday 31st July

Troilus & Cressida - Tuesday 3rd - Saturday 8th August

Time: 7.30pm for all shows

The First London Fringe Festival presents

“American Bytes Back”

by Liminal Space Productions

American Bytes Back is an exciting UK premiere of new, contemporary American writing with seven, TEN MINUTE plays that reflect the diversity of American life.

In two plays by Steve Bergman, audiences can witness the tragic tale of an abandoned childhood toy in Rosie, the Teddy Bear and the expectations and excitements surrounding two recent graduates in Marvin and Julius– the twist being that Marvin and Julius are in fact two guinea pigs. The world of rented boyfriends is also explored in Mark Harvey Levine’s play The Rental where the birthday girl has just one day to enjoy her unusual gift and LA 8 AM where life can take unexpected turns.

In Peter Snoad’s plays - a teenager explains the environmental benefits of killing her own father in The Greening of Bridget Kelly, and My Name is Art where the title character reveals himself in all his glory. Fate by Elizabeth Horsburgh explores the possibilities of talking to strangers!

These emergent US playwrights take us on a rollercoaster of emotions from love, loss and the attempt to make the world a better place to live.

Dates: Tues 10th to Sat 14th August

Time: 7.30pm

Tickets: £7/£5 Concessions (All tickets £5 on Tues 10th)

The Atre Company presents

“Uplifting”

a short, serious comedy by Alan Moorhouse

When salesman Bill is trapped in a lift with the cause of his latest commercial failure, it forces a re-evaluation of their lives. See Bill (Alan Moorhouse) and Jim (Brian Gillett) pool their philosophies and pet hates to elevate themselves.

The Atre Company is a newly formed theatre company, from Hook, Hampshire; brainchild of Alan Moorhouse. A veteran amateur actor/producer/director, Alan formed the company after visiting the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009. He boldly decided that he could muster his theatrical experience and contacts to create fringe productions to exceed what he had seen in relevance to everyday modern life. Uplifting is the first such production.

Uplifting has already previewed at the Bath Fringe in May and will transfer to the Edinburgh Festival at Radisson Spaces on the Mile, (Venue 36), High St. Edinburgh, on 23rd-28th August 2010.

Dates: Mon 16th to Weds 18th August

Time: 8.15pm

Tickets: £7/£5 Concessions
