Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard on MYDIDAE A curiously magical spectacle. Vicky Jones's production is so real there are moments you feel embarrassed to be present. Robert Shore, Metro on MYDIDAE In Vicky Jones's immaculate production, performances [are] of the highest calibre. Whatsonstage on MYDIDAE Jones treads skilfully through this structural and tonal labyrinth, all the more admirably for having to compact it on to such a small stage. Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times on THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY at the Finborough DryFight was perfect festival fare - loud, bawdy, in-yer-face and more than a little bit dirty. My highlight. Whatsonstage on DRYFIGHT at Latitude. Vicky Jones’s steely production. Gets you by the neck and gives you a jolly good shake. Lyn Gardner, Guardian on THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY Of all the ADD-friendly shows at the festival, this one takes the prize. I also enjoyed it so much I'm sure I ruptured something. Ingeniously simple. British Theatre Guide on DRYFIGHT A fascinating production. Carries the baton for innovative site-specific theatre. FEST Magazine on THE TOUR GUIDE One of the most surprising and memorable shows at this year's Fringe. Alice Jones, The Independent on THE TOUR GUIDE The excellent DryWrite have established themselves with some cleverly themed and curated events. At their best they form a crucial dialogue between artists and allow a new sense of the possible. The success that a number of their writers are now starting to enjoy in mainstream theatres with work that remains formally innovative is an early testament to the excellence of the United Agents | 12-26 Lexington Street London W1F OLE | T +44 (0) 20 3214 0800 | F +44 (0) 20 3214 0801 | E [email protected] concept.

  • What Ever Happened to In-Yer-Face Theatre?
    What Ever Happened to in-yer-face theatre? Aleks SIERZ (Theatre Critic and Visiting Research Fellow, Rose Bruford College) “I have one ambition – to write a book that will hold good for ten years afterwards.” Cyril Connolly, Enemies of Promise • Tuesday, 23 February 1999; Brixton, south London; morning. A Victorian terraced house in a road with no trees. Inside, a cloud of acrid dust rises from the ground floor. Two workmen are demolishing the wall that separates the dining room from the living room. They sweat; they curse; they sing; they laugh. The floor is covered in plaster, wooden slats, torn paper and lots of dust. Dust hangs in the air. Upstairs, Aleks is hiding from the disruption. He is sitting at his desk. His partner Lia is on a train, travelling across the city to deliver a lecture at the University of East London. Suddenly, the phone rings. It’s her. And she tells him that Sarah Kane is dead. She’s just seen the playwright’s photograph in the newspaper and read the story, straining to see over someone’s shoulder. Aleks immediately runs out, buys a newspaper, then phones playwright Mark Ravenhill, a friend of Kane’s. He gets in touch with Mel Kenyon, her agent. Yes, it’s true: Kane, who suffered from depression for much of her life, has committed suicide. She is just twenty-eight years old. Her celebrity status, her central role in the history of contemporary British theatre, is attested by the obituaries published by all the major newspapers. Aleks returns to his desk.

  • Foxfinder by Dawn King Directed by Blanche Mcintyre
    Press Information New Writing at the Finborough Theatre Season November 2011 to January 2012 Papatango Theatre Company in partnership with the Finborough Theatre present four world premieres The Papatango Playwriting Festival 2011 Foxfinder by Dawn King Directed by Blanche McIntyre. Designed by James Perkins. Lighting by Gary Bowman. Sound by George Dennis. Cast: Kirsty Besterman. Tom Byam Shaw. Becci Gemmell. Gyuri Sarossy. Papatango have teamed up with one of London's leading new writing venues, the Finborough Theatre to present the winning entries in the 2011 Papatango Playwriting Competition 2011, featuring this year's winning play Foxfinder by Dawn King which will play for a four week limited season from 29 November (Press Night: Thursday, 1 December 2011 at 8.30pm). “You, Foxfinder, must be clean in body and mind. Always remember that the smallest fault in your character could become a crack into which the beast may insinuate himself, like water awaiting the freeze that will smash the stone apart.” William Bloor, a Foxfinder, arrives at Sam and Judith Covey’s farm to investigate a suspected contamination. What follows will change the course of all their lives, forever. Foxfinder is a gripping, unsettling and darkly comic exploration of belief, desire and responsibility. Playwright Dawn King was one of ten writers from across the UK chosen for the BBC Writersroom 10 scheme, a prestigious mentoring and support programme. Through this she is developing a new play with West Yorkshire Playhouse. She is also currently writing My One and Only, an afternoon play for BBC radio 4. Her episode of horror series The Man in Black will broadcast on BBC radio 4 Extra later this year.
