'Serious talent' Christopher Haydon gets Time Out's 2009 Critics' Choice

Time Out has annointed our production of Monsters as among the best of London Theatre in 2009. Creative Associate Christopher Haydon's directing is apparently evidence of 'serious talent'. Well we knew that already of course, but it's really nice to be recognised.

A possible Monsters national UK tour for autumn 2010 is slowly taking shape too. The Swedish Embassy are once again being incredibly supportive, Damian Cruden at York Theatre Royal has offered to host rehearsals and the opening of the tour, dates are being confirmed with Northern Stage and further discussions are taking place with a number of other very exciting venues around the country. And crucially, we submitted our Arts Council England Application on time, no thanks to the silliness of Lilli, and all thanks to the spontaneous generosity of Mr James Barrett.

It could all still fall through, but that would be a great shame having come so far. So fingers crossed.

Alison O'Donnell and John Cummins cast for Eigengrau

After four days of extraordinary auditions at the Bush led by the brilliant Tara Wilkinson (who also had to read a rather too convincing 'Mark' when real boys weren't available!) we are delighted to announce that Alison O'Donnell and John Cummins have joined the cast of Eigengrau. Three down, one to go, and only three weeks until rehearsals start...

We're also delighted to confirm Rich Walsh is on board to design the sound, and has joined Hannah Clark, Mark Grimmer and Matt Pitman in the studio working on creating the world of Eigengrau.

Tickets are disappearing alarmingly fast from the Bush website www.bushtheatre.co.uk.

EIGENGRAU tickets on sale NOW!

Tickets for Strawberry Vale's next production are on sale from the Bush Theatre box office with the launch of their amazing new Season last month.

EIGENGRAU is the second play from Penelope Skinner, whose critically acclaimed first play F*cked enjoyed a sell-out transfer to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. It will be directed by SVP Creative Associate Polly Findlay.

EIGENGRAU - [ay-gen-gr-ow ] - noun intrinsic light; the colour seen by the eye in perfect darkness

Rose believes in true love and leprechauns. Her flatmate Cassie is engaged in a fervent struggle against patriarchal oppression.

Across London, Mark believes in the power of marketing. His flatmate Tim Muffin is engaged in a fervent struggle against his own waistline.

When circumstance throws them together, all four have their beliefs tested to devastating effect in a biting black comedy about trying to connect in a city where Gumtree can sometimes feel like your closest friend.

The play will be published by Faber and Faber as a programme playtext. It is a Strawberry Vale Production in association with the Bush Theatre.

If you would like to get involved, support the production or just want to find out more, do just get in touch!

And of course, booking as soon as you can makes all the difference to us... THANK YOU!
