Well, all the scenery, all the puppets and all the technical equipment is in the rehearsal studio. Chris de Wilde the Designer is painting scenery blocks black and Pip Thurlow the Technical Manager is wiring up music systems and computers, all in preparation for Monday mornings early start for rehearsals of ‘The Waving Cat of Japan’. We rehearse for three weeks, then open at the Capitol in Horsham on Friday 26th April. Hope to see you all on the road, somewhere, check the schedule on ‘The Shows’ page….

Sounds like a joke, but no, ’tis true! Kinny was interviewed for the Deaf  news and views website ‘Limping Chicken’. Have a look!

We are so pleased and delighted to announce that we have received funding from Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland, one of the leading grant-giving trusts in the country, to tour up to Kinny’s native land with The Waving Cat of Japan. From June 6th until 15th we will be traversing the high roads and low roads, across the length and breadth of that bonnie country, with three bemused actors and ‘Maneki Neko’. So if you see us passing, geeza heeugh! (Cue pipes and Kinny’s kilt…)

Coming to a venue near you from April -until June. Check out the list of performances on the SHOWS page.

We are more than delighted to announce that we are creating a co-production with the amazing  Fittings Multimedia and The Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester entitled ‘Edmund the Learned Pig’. Currently in research and development  it will run at The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester in October, with songs by Martin Jaques of Tiger Lillies fame and a script by Mike Kenny. To find out just a wee bit more, have a look here…

Goodest of news! Caroline Parker, our amazing deaf director, has been awarded an MBE in the Queens New Year Honours List for services to Deaf Theatre in the UK. We are delighted!
