Latest Award
posted by Tom Crawshaw on Monday, 27 July 2009
The Buxton Fringe held their Awards Ceremony for the 30th Fringe Festival yesterday with all the best shows from the last few weeks getting a recognition.
We were very pleased to receive two award nominations for our current production,
Play On Words. Michael and Meriel were both nominated for Best Actor, Meriel for the part of Jen and Michael presumably for the three parts of Fred, Eddie and Jonnie (as we play all three this year!)
More special than this however, was an extra award made to Three's Company for Special Contribution to the Buxton Fringe - aka the Fringe 30 Award. This was in recognition of our many productions (as well as venue services) over the last seven years. Having grown up in Buxton, having seen many of our first shows and having learnt much of what we know from working on the Buxton Fringe, this award means an awful lot to us.
We're already planning Buxton Fringe 2010 but for now it's off up to Edinburgh for the Fringe there! ("Oh you take the high road...")

'Play On Words' selling out
posted by Tom Crawshaw on Monday, 6 August 2007
That's right folks - three days into our run in Edinburgh and we had our first sell-out show last night!
We're used to having to turn people away from shows in Buxton but in Edinburgh this was a big surprise to us all. The tragi-comedy of quick-witted punning, over-shaken drinks bottles and overflowing swear jars seems to be going down a storm north of the border.
We now await the publication of our first review which we expect from Three Weeks any day soon...
Watch this space - if the show continues to sell-out you may need to book in advance for tickets.

fragile theatre co-production of

Three's Company.

Tristan Bates Theatre on
May 20th where he will collect his award from Alison Steadman.
In other news,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Yaz who reaches the grand age of
21 today! I was going to say "congratulations" but all he really did was stay alive... Though considering his accident-prone nature, maybe that does deserve congratulations...?
