Going Public

It's time we make this thing public.

The Assassination of Paris Hilton is a new play. It is a site-specific comedy exploring female relationships and the culture of celebrity worship, set in the ladies room of a Hollywood nightclub.

We are taking the show to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer and will be performing at the Assembly Rooms from August 13 to 31.

We'll be blogging our process the whole way, from fundraising to rehearsals to the run itself, so keep checking in for updates. This is also a forum for the company to share ideas, inspiration, media, etc., related to the creative development of the show, hence all the previous links.

Also, the company is official now. We are RACKED, and our company info can be found at rackedtheatre.blogspot.com. Contact us on rackedtheatrecollective@gmail.com

How did the meeting go?

I have been wrapped up ill in bed. Boo! Also I lost my text function after Saturday night so have been completely incommunicado.
Let us know what they said?

Precious Taft's Guide to Acting

Ladies, please pay attention.  I believe this is from some talent show in the 80's.  This is real, honest, true acting, with some incendiary writing.  The actor's name is Precious Taft.  Any day now, Elizabeth II will be knighting her a dame, I can see it.  We could all take a page from Precious' book.

More Gender Bender Banter

So I have an obsession at the moment.  So what?  SO?  It's not like I'm gonna start tucking it in myself or anything...yet.

The camera work is shoddy, but at least they're live performances.  Saw these people performing live a few weeks ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

To Do

Here are the things to do over the next few months:

* Hampstead Start Night (Already applied for January, but if we get in will postpone because of Alison's schedule.)

* Apply to the Tristan Bates Midnight Matinees

* Possibly perform at one of my friend Maya's Open Arts Cafe nights.

* Propose to Shunt for a week's Edinburgh preview run.

* Have a company meeting before 12 December to discuss fundraising ideas.  Also discuss other places we can try and perform it:  Young Vic?  Royal Court?  Old Vic Pit Bar?

* Start looking into possible club venues for Edinburgh.

* Hound Southwark Secrets about doing another date or two.  Maybe we can squeeze one in before Alison goes off to Scotland?
