TOTAL THEATRE AWARD NOMINATION
(we lost out to "Once and For All We're Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen" which although we didn't see everyone who did says it was top so many congratulations to them.)
The company would like to thank all the audience members who came and experienced the piece during the festival. Your support was much appreciated by all the artists involved in the project. That does include those audience members who didn't like the show as well as those who did. We do hope you will all visit our future work.
The artistic contacts made during the festival were one of the many highlights for the company. We are constantly looking to form new artistic partnerships and the success of The Factory during the Festival has allowed that process to develop on an unprecedented level. We are already in discussions with venues across the UK concerning both new projects and the performing of our previous work during the whole of 2009
We will of course keep you updated on all future projects and performances via this website.
The company would also like to take this opportunity to thanks all the staff at The Pleasance for their help and support during the festival. Special thanks goes to Damo and the boys in the Undergrand - "cheers lads you were wicked!" and also to Anthony Alderson for all the effort he put into getting the venue in the first place and also for his support during the festival. Cheers dude!
