This clip features Susanna Fiore and myself in my favourite scene from the play (mainly because I get to act like the office jackass):

This is a great scene between two fantastic actors: Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Flintham and Benjamin Peters. Lottie’s character (George) is the office new girl, trying to get on in journalism. Ben’s character (James) is the editor of the newspaper and wants the new girl to ‘keep an eye’ on her colleagues for him…

To that end, our lovely press ladies got us into a number of publications including the London Lite, a free newspaper which runs listings for upcoming shows.

Write a review of Oh Well Never Mind Bye

I’ll update the blog shortly about Press Night and the joys of sitting opposite Michael Billington from The Guardian while he reviewed the show we’re were performing.

If you phone the Union Theatre Box Office on 0207 261 9876 and quote ‘Friends Offer’, you can get two tickets for the price of one.

The show starts at 7:30pm and the theatre is at 204 Union Street, London, SE1 0LX.

See you there!

You can tune in to Resonance on Thursday either online at ResonanceFM.com or on 104.4FM within the London area.

It’s a project that we started work on around 4 years ago, shortly after the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell underground station in London. Jean Charles was shot as a result of a series of intelligence blunders by The Metropolitan Police following the London bombings of 7th July and the failed bombings of 22nd July. As a result of this, the Upstart project was originally called The 22nd July Project. We began by doing workshops on the ideas that the shooting brought to light, but slowly Tom and Steven realised that the wider issues of how the situation was reported were as crucial (if not, more so) than the direct effects of the shooting itself.

As a result, the idea for Oh Well Never Mind Bye came about. Shortly afterwards, the script was written by Steven and has just finished the casting process, using two new actors to the project and two (myself and the excellent Susanna Fiore) who have been in it since the events the play is based on occured. We start rehearsing next week for two weeks, then it’s on to a three week run at The Union Theatre in Southwark, south London.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll post info from rehearsals and news about the play itself. So, watch this space…
