Splendid Productions announce productions and workshops for Autumn 2020

Described by the company as a 'surrealist classic', UBU explores 'power, leadership and ambition with [the company's] usual heady concoction of music, laughter, politics, foolishness and hard-hitting theatrical nonsense'.

Artistic Director Kerry Frampton will perform in the piece, which is created for a self-contained cast of two, and designed to adapt to any social distancing guidelines in effect. No lighting or additional technical equipment is required, and get-in and set-up can all be done by the cast.

Rather than specifying tour areas, Splendid will be scheduling the tour based on demand. An online form is therefore available for requesting dates, here. 

The company's in-school theatre workshops also plan to get going again in the new academic year, with the company announcing that 'Our usual range of practitioner and technique-based workshops (including practitioner work, text, devising, and all-new Clown workshops) are available to book for in-person sessions. These will be led by a single practitioner and can be adapted to adhere to all distancing guidelines including distanced group-work. Please note it may not be possible to deliver more specialised content in some areas. Under the circumstances, group size is restricted to a maximum of 20 (subject to school policies).'

Meanwhile, online workshops which have been running through lockdown, are set to continue, as well as practitioner-based video tutorials that will be available from September 2020.
