Fight director sought
Just a quick message to say we’re looking for a fight director for two separate projects. The job could suit either one candidate, or two separate specialists. Project 1: Titus Andronicus: An All-Female Production (fringe tour) Our sister company, Smooth Faced Gentlemen, are taking a vibrant and violent all-female production of Titus Andronicus to the [...]
Introducing… Something
You’re probably wondering why we’ve been so quiet in the last couple of months… (No?) Well, since you asked, we’ve been working on several different major projects, and we’ve got loads to announce in the next few weeks. But today, we’d like tell you about our first sitcom. In collaboration with Brother Brother and Leila [...]
A tale of two Ceasars
Tonight, I’m off to see the all-female Julius Ceasar at the Donmar Warehouse. It’s great that there’s a major mainstream venue drawing attention to the ideas and issues surrounding all-female Shakespeare, and the production looks to be a corker. I’m dead excited! But one thing’s niggling me, and I wanted to note this thought before [...]
Quick update
It’s been a while since we posted, so I thought I’d put out a super quick update of what we’re up to, and our future plans. Here goes: Smooth Faced Gentlemen are having an industry launch / fundraising night in London on the 29th October at the New Diorama Theatre. (It’s invite only, but give [...]
Hairy Faced Gentlemen
I’ve been meaning to share some thoughts on the inevitability of gender politics being at play in our all-female production of Romeo & Juliet.

Your thoughts on Romeo & Juliet
Tell us what you think about Romeo & Juliet! We always want to hear your feedback on our productions, but this year more than ever your thoughts are important. Our All Female Romeo & Juliet is an experiment which we’ve poured our hearts into, and we’d love to hear whether we should do that again! [...]
An interesting moment, and some stuff with a visa
Something interesting happened in today’s rehearsal. Tom stepped in to play the Nurse in Act III scene iii. With Romeo and Friar being played by Leila and Carly respectively, this meant that everyone on stage was playing the opposite gender. And roles that are quite rooted in their gender identity too, I reckon. This was much more [...]
What The Faced?
It seems about time we properly introduced Smooth Faced Gentlemen and our involvement with it. [Note - This post was originally written about three weeks ago but, what with all the rehearsing and doing plays, we've only just got around to publishing it!] As you may have gathered, we’re co-creating a production of Romeo & Juliet with [...]
