The start of the brilliant Greater Manchester Fringe Festival is very close now! I hope that everyone bringing work to the festival are well into rehearsals and making great progress.
Unfortunately, due to cast illness, we've had to pull The Big Things from the programme. I'm really gutted because it was shaping up really nicely, but these things happen. We'll be working to get the show up on its feet in February 2018.
So, instead of The Big Things, we'll be bringing Avoidance back by popular demand. We debuted Avoidance at The Kings Arms at the end of May and it went down brilliantly. It's a really lovely production and I loved working on it, so I'm thrilled that we can bring it back to life for another run.
Avoidance is the story of Michelle, Tom and Damian, all trapped in different ways in the same house.
Tom has been dead for 15 years. At least, that’s what his sister, Michelle, thinks. Their mother has since passed away, leaving her with husband, Damian, trapped in a house haunted by memories. Damian is desperate for them to move to make a fresh start.
When Tom appears on the doorstep, hope rears its head for Michelle and presents an opportunity for Damian.
But why did Tom disappear, and what has he come home to tell her?
A tale of truth and hope, when all hope has been jettisoned.
