The University of Shitchester

We're at the University of Chichester, on our second residency and third re-write of Guinea Pigs on Trial.

We're here to make the show make sense. We know why all the stuff's there, we know, we understand. But do you? What's Wendy Craig got to do with it? Why the subplot about Richard Gere? Why all the moths? ART. This week we're trying to synthesise all our patterns and ideas into one proper shit. And to aid that, at the end of every day we're practising an elevator pitch for the show.

An elevator pitch is something our publicist Steve suggested we learn to do in order to sell out show at the Fringe. You have to be able to communicate what the show is about in 20-30 seconds. It's a bidnis term. You gotta sell it kid, sell it before the boss gets outta the elevator. GEDDIT?? Come back tomorrow.

We'll be posting daily pitches here or on our Sh!t Theatre Facebook, summing up what we think Guinea Pigs is about by the end of each day.


Sorry, Steve.

We had a great time at The Arches

Evidence of great time




End of Evidence.


The Glasgow audiences lived up to their reputation and we got the whole package- stage invasions, drunks, live commentary of the show and a very.late.night. Brilliant fun. The Arches treated us so well, and are putting on an incredible festival. SCOTLAND - Please don't leave us.


GUINEA PIGS




Thanks to everyone who came to our preview at the Pleasance, and to Claire Nolan for filming Sh!t Theatre with a proper camera for the first time in 3 1/2 years of making work. See that guinea pig? Stay tuned for more Claire Nolan magic featuring the pig.
