CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL THEATRE:
POWERFUL SONGS FOR VIVID NEW STORIES

The band are busy developing new indie contemporary musicals which have been created by Tim (the "Dear Leader" of the troup).
There are currently three on the stocks.

SHIP IN A BOTTLE


Miranda is a firebrand, a political activist and a real handful. Aged nineteen she wants to put the world right.

She hates injustice. Off her own bat she runs a soup-kitchen for a colourful group of homeless people who live under some railway arches.
  • There is Queenie who claims to have been a spy, a femme fatale who discovered many state secrets from a string of influential lovers;
  • There's Wild Child, a rock-chick who has lived near the edge as a drug-runner and adventuress;
  • And there's The Captain, a man who used to command mighty ships which sailed around the world but who is now grounded and has hit the bottle.

"ALL OUR TOMORROWS"

These and many others Miranda tries to save with her relentless energy and crystal-clear vision of how the world should be. She is also trying to save her parents marriage.

Her efforts have a varying degree of success. In her journey shelearns some hard lessons in the complexities of life but also how the human spirit can rise above adversity.

TAHITI


Set among the glorious islands of the South Pacific, rich in myth and ritual, where dancing and singing are part of the life among the coral reefs and palm-fringed beaches, it would seem that we are in paradise.

But a crisis is looming. Sea-levels are rising because of climate-change and this pristine world is sinking beneath the waves.

By chance two extraordinary characters meet: a beautiful young girl who appears out of the waves and a handsome young shaman engaged in a search for a magical ancient language. 

From their encounter appears the possibility of a new world in which humans, animals and nature are once more in harmony.

CLUB BURLESQUE


"Club Burlesque" is a brand new and totally original piece of cabaret style musical theatre. An exhilarating cocktail of music, dance, satire and circus acts.

Its roots are deep in the Great British tradition of variety but crucially it looks forward to the 21st century and a new audience.

The show is set in the near future. The world has gone mad. The stockmarket has collapsed. Mayhem and chaos stalk the land. The crisis begs a question: where can a person find safety in these dangerous times?

This is where the Club Burlesque acts as a refuge. Meet the colourful characters that make this place unique, their backstories and how they will survive the current era.

We originally showcased "Club Burlesque" in a prototype a few years ago in London and are now looking to get it fully produced for a proper show for the public.

SHELLSHOCK


An insightful production full of  emotion and perfect nuances (The Upcoming)
SHELLSHOCK's premiere season was at the Waterloo East Theatre 8th - 19th April 2014.  We are now looking to take the show to a new theatre!
Discover a whole new dramatic British musical. Set in the 1970s after a father returns home from a secret war with shellshock, the show depicts a family torn apart by the aftermath of war.

SHELLSHOCK was inspired by a conversation I had with my grandmother when I was just a little boy, literally sitting at her knee. She told me about a soldier who returned from the First World War suffering from shellshock.

He couldn’t stand any noise. His home had to be as silent as the grave. His little daughter couldn’t play with her friends so she became isolated and depressed, convinced that her dad no longer loved her.
