- We want to workshop key moments from our latest play, an ambitious two act comedy with four interlinked stories and complicated slapstick sequences.
- Workshopping new writing is vital to the process because without seeing what the play looks like on its feet - with actors performing key moments - we have no real idea of what we've written, or how it can be staged. We need to see bits of our play to understand it. And perhaps to understand ourselves. I mean, we wrote this thing. What does it say aqbout us? We urgently need to know. Our Therapy depends on it.
- Plus, filming/photographing the workshop is part of our pledge to share with the public every part of the process of writing and staging a play.
What We Need & What You Get
- We need £500 to pay actors, hire a space, feed our cast and film the workshop. We have a cast of twelve, but for the workshop we'll need only seven or eight actors (there will be some doubling-up of roles). We need these actors for two days - we're looking at a weekend in November - and we'll need to pay them for their time and feed them while they do what they do so brilliantly. We'll be looking to hire a space in central Bristol (at £50 per day), and we'll record everything on camera, including the tantrums that inevitably erupt when we run out of biscuits.
- We have unique perks to offer our backers! We could have been lazy and just had a load of cheap mugs and t-shirts printed with the Little Epic logo, but we've gone that extra mile for you and we're creating unique items! (Plus, we couldn't get cheap mugs and t-shirts printed with the Little Epic logo). From sending you insulting letters, to singing songs about you, painting your portraits and remaking your favourite movies, we've got a personalised perks package tailored to our backers - you won't want to miss out!
- If we don't reach full funding, we'll film ourselves crying. But we were going to do that anyway (crying with tears of joy and relief), so you might as well give us the full funding. If we don't get it all, we'll put whatever we have reached towards the workshop, fulfil the pledges, and we'll look to other means of reaching the full amount.
