Stop. COllaborate. And, actually, Listen.
Okay.
Alright.
This is a relatively big announcement.
I’m finally doing a big old London run of Collaborator this Summer. It’s happening at The Albany in Deptford from July 15th to August 3rd. The guys at the venue are going to completely reconfigure the auditorium to make it fully in the round and I’m both very excited about it and slightly worried about the number of tickets I’ve got to sell in quite a short space of time.
So, with that in mind, here’s the wilfully obtuse blurb to shift some units:
Collaborator – A work in progress by Daniel Kitson.
I dislike audience participation.
I think It’s creatively bankrupt, ethically questionable and if I see it mentioned in the blurb for a show, I will not attend due to moral objections and/or personal discomfort.
Anyway.
I’ve written something about that and it’s got just under 300 parts.
So…
Collaborator was conceived specifically to be performed in the round and is re-written a bit for each particular venue. This will be the sixteenth staging and something like the twentieth rewrite and if i’m honest, it’s actually starting to get really, really good.
There you go.
I’ve been intermittently re-writing and re-staging this show since last years Edinburgh Fringe, calling off at Bristol, Lancaster, Brighton,Exeter, Cardiff, Scarborough, Liverpool, Birmingham, Sydney, Melbourne and (currently) Brisbane and it really, actually, really, is a lot of fun to perform if that means anything at all to you people.
Also, I’m pretty sure this will be the last time I do the show in the UK* and potentially the last time I ever do it anywhere.** So, if you’re remotely interested in seeing it, this is likely to be your last chance.
But obviously, if you’re busy with other stuff, that’s cool.
Anyway, tickets are £12, they’re on sale right now and you can get them – HERE
