LAMINATED

Written and directed by Darren Bolton

Performed by Christopher Anstey and Emily Bignell.

“When you’re born into a town that’s cloaked in a smog of apathy, your dreams get laminated - you can look, but not touch.”

Laminated tells the story of Charlie, a failed writer coming to terms with the end of his career. Packing up to leave his home, he begins to reconstruct his memories to create a past he can accept. Rummaging through these memories and unfinished stories, he is overwhelmed by the growing presence of an ex lover, who confronts him with a truth he never expected.

Laminated is an imaginative and beautifully visual piece, using puppetry and physical theatre to bring life to the stories and memories of Charlie’s world. It asks us to consider the reality of chasing our dreams, and all the things in life that we can see, but not touch.

Dazzy, if only you brought this thing to Belfast... :(

[dazzybee]

Yeah, we tried, been the before, great venue! We're hoping to relaunch the play with more funding next year internationally, belfast will DEFINITELY be on the list. It's all dependent on how this one goes though :D

Cheers for the interest though buddy.

[Shorty]

Rotherham's not far away, might check it out :D

[tapedeck]

I'd have gone to see it but seeing as it's not near me...

Usually Newcastle/Sunderland/Durham get these things. There, I've voiced my complaint!! Sounds excellent though :)

[Ellmeister]

Wow that sounds pretty sweet :) Congratulations for having a play made I think :)

Unfortunately the London venue is the only one I'm relatively near to and cannot make it :( Good luck anyway!

[Ninty 182]

Seeing as it clashes with the start of me going to uni I'm probably not gonna see it but it does sound great. Are you an actor or director etc.?

[Raining_again]

Dazzy, if only you brought this thing to Belfast... :(

QFT, this looks damn good!

[Zero]

Why aren't you going to Scotland. We're only north of the border. I guess it's the same reason your not going to Belfast. There is even a theatre 10 minutes walking distance from my house.

[dazzybee]

Hey, just to remind everyone my opening night is in Birmingham :)

Thursday September 25th
The Crescent Theatre
Birmingham, B16 8AE

Box Office: 0121 643 5858

[ShadowV7]

Good luck with everything, shame your not going to Scotland.

There's a theatre that's 20 minutes walking distance from my house which may or may not be the same one Zero mentioned :heh:

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Rotherham's not far away, might check it out :D

Nor's Grimsby, Lincoln or Scunthorpe... :P

Dazzybee: Where's the crescent theatre?

I think Shorty and I, and probablymaybe nami will make an appearance at one of the venues mentioned in this post. I remember reading around the forums that you were writing a play, so I'd love to see it :)

The Crescent Theatre is in Birmingham.

Hope you can make it to one, really appreciate your interest. Thanks a lot :)

[fex]

I live in Scunthorpe and I'm moving to Lincoln in 6 days time.

Im seriously interested and @ £8, I might pop along to the Lincoln showing! Although I've got so much to buy for the flat, I'll see what my bank manager says.

Good Work Dazzy!

Have you moved to Lincoln now then? How you finding it?

Just to say the first show was last night in Birmingham, and it was a sell out - yey!!! Really happy with how it went actually - phew......

Now I can finally sleep ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[fex]

I make the move on sunday, I have everything setup, bed, sofa's etc. it's just a case of moving myself over now. I can't wait. I love Lincoln.

I'm glad the first show went well, and things can only get better! So by the time you hit lincoln it should be the smoothest operation in town!

[dazzybee]

Hey guys, just to say my show's at Rotherham this friday if any of you people from Sheffield fancy taking a short trip over. Or people from Rotherham and anywhere even remotely close...say, in England!!

See first post for more details.

[Daniel]

Saw this on Saturday in a library in Swinton near Sheffield :)

I'm sorry, but that tagline is terrible.

Yey! So it was advertised!

We've got our first 2 reviews up, both very positive *phew* I'll post them when the internet links are up!

I'm sorry, but that tagline is terrible.

Why is it? It's not a tagline as such, it's the first line of the play, which is the first line of a book the main character wrote.

We're in London on Thursday. A biggie for us as some important people are coming!

[dazzybee]

So London has been and gone, very pleased, some important people came, another good review.

Lincoln next, so anyone living in Lincolnshire or Nottinghamshire, and you're bored tomorrow night. Come see an amazing show :D

[Chuck]

My local theatre the 'Whitley Bay Playhouse' is being re-built. Maybe Laminated 2 can be staged there as a breach into the north:D.

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Yo! As I said in the other thread, a bunch of us (so far; shorty, jayseven (ME!!) nightwolf and nami) are going to go to the manchester venue. We're wondering if we can get a discount OR some sort of back-stage-omg-we-meet-u-pass thingum. Yeah.

[Sprout]

Just came back after seeing this in Lincoln. Some brilliant acting, I especially loved the parts involving the teddybear.

My congrats go out to you dazzybee, and I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your tour. Though I don't think you'll need it. =P

[dazzybee]

Oh thats great, thank you for coming. You should have stayed to say hi :)

That's amazing, thank you so much! It'd be great to meet you all after the show, Manchester is one were tickets can be bought from our website, meaning we have control over them. I'm actually in the office tomorrow so I'll sort out doing something re: tickets

[Sprout]

Oh thats great, thank you for coming. You should have stayed to say hi :)
I would have liked that, me also taking part in theatre, but I probably couldn't have stayed anyway. My health has been kinda gettin' in the way of things recently, heh. Maybe I'll see you after your next play. =P

[dazzybee]

You work in theatre too? Great stuff. Are you at the Uni then?

[Sprout]

I'm at the Lincoln Uni, yes, though I've worked in theatre before Uni too (took part in National Theatre for a few years, if you've ever heard of it =P). Taking a joint honours in English and Drama however, so it's nothing major right now. Gonna have to look at what clubs are available for me here. =P

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Hey Dazzybee - getting four tickets sorted for shorty, nami, nightwolf and me (zomg mini-meet!) for the manchester gig. Student ID's are concessions, right? Or maybe discouts wink-wink-nudge-nudge right? ;)

And yeah - we totally have to meet after the show.

[dazzybee]

Hey, hope you guys are still coming. Yeah student ID's are concessions, so only £5 each - bargain :)

If you are coming I'll make sure to pop out afterward; though I have to strike the set and such pretty much straight away so it'll have to be pretty brief; but I'm always in Sheffield so maybe we'll all meet up there properly.

[nightwolf]

Have to say dazzy that was pretty awesome. Definately something I'd see again! Shame on n-er's for not seeing it!

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Aye! i just got back from seeing seeing it with nightwolf, nami and shorty, and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. It dragged me into its world -- I felt some affinity to it as it was about a failed writer (something I will probably be :P) and would love to see it again if it gets a rerun next year.

And dazzybee is cool :D

[Shorty]

I will also register my appreciation personally :) great show man, a lot to think about and very cleverly written and directed. Keep it up!

[Nami]

Awesome show :yay: Well done!!! That must have took a lot of hard work but definitely worth it! Hope you had a fun night too after we disappeared, really nice you took the time to come and meet us!!

[dazzybee]

Thanks so much guys, it was awesome to meet you all.

Went to a bar afterward and the barmaid was a Zelda nut, I was wearing a Zelda TShirt and so she showed me her Triforce tatoo on her neck! I think I was in love, I don't think my girlfriend was impressed I spent most of the night talking to her about Oot and Twilight Princess! :D

My night ended with me being sick in my car! Too much beer and no food! :) (I wasn't driving)

being a bit of a moron, this entire thread missed me....oops. Sorry I couldn't make it dude it sounded pretty good.
Let us know when you're in our neck of the woods, though. We shall have to get a drink in someplace :awesome:
