We are available to tour from April - June 2010.
Location: Ideally the show works best in a studio with an end on seating configuration although there is scope for thrust.
Numbers: The show tours with 2 performers and 4 technicians.
The running time is 1 hour 10 minutes with no interval.
Synopsis: Jenghiz is a kebab shop drudge who dreams of being an
action hero. He fancies single mum Helen but his hopeless attempts to woo her
are constantly interrupted by a barrage of demanding customers.
An urban comedy, Fight Face explores the
aggression city dwellers feel as a result of the constant barrage of noise, bad
food and annoying passersby.
Style: It is a fast paced and physical show with elements of slapstick and charicature but ultimately a very poignant love story in the middle of the most unlikely situation.
Appeal: During the run at the Lyric Hammersmith we received positive feedback from all ages but the show particularly appeals to the 16-25 age group. We have limited the swearing and would recommend the show for a 14+ audience.
Education Work: Sophie and Gemma can provide a variety of education work to accompany the tour including:
Finding your sign-name: A physical workshop exploring gesture and multi character playing
How to make a fight funny: Fight skills and clowning skills combined to create the ultimate slapstick punch up.
Thinking outside the box: A discussion/ workshop based on the ideas and methods for Tin Bath's unique captioning system.
Both practitioners have developed and delivered work for a huge variety of theatres and events including the Royal Shakespeare Company, Soho Theatre, The National and the Young Vic.
