Three's Company Blog

Discussions are underway for Three's Company to mount another 'Othello' like production.

Since our success in the Pauper's Pit Theatre with Othello in 2004, we have wanted to stage another of the great Elizabethan Verse plays.

As well as our wish to re-stage our version of Shakespeare's Othello set in 'Iago's theatre of Mass Destruction' 3C are planning more...

...including...

-a production of Macbeth - discussions are beginning with actress Mariam Bell to appear as 'Lady Macbeth'.

-Romeo and Juliet, with Yaz as Mercutio, Tom as Benvolio and me as Romeo.

- and (ever since performing a section of the brilliant Arden of Faversham at TheShakespeare's Globe's Sam Wanamaker Festival this year), I'm desperate to get a production up and running of the brilliant anonymously-written black-comedy.

Who knows which will come first!

Our favourite theatre is still up and running. The space we designed our production of Othello in and around (despite my post almost a year ago) will stay open a little while longer.

Yaz and Tom will be running Underground Venues once more, I'm still at RADA, so won't be able to make it up as much as I would hope to, but the Pauper's Pit Theatre and Underground Venues will once again be the best place to go in the Buxton Fringe.

Have a great Fringe!

Buxton (and many say England's) smallest and most intimate theatre is set to close.

The Pauper's Pit, designed and built by our mentor (and regular 3C Obi-One Kenobi) Martin Beard
will be lost. The tiny theatre was home to one of Three's Company's most ambitious projects - a production of Shakespeare's Othello, created, performed and run by a team of 9 young theatre makers.

The Old Hall (in which the theatre is situated) will re-establish it's self with it's history of healing spring water.

3C love the idea of more tourism in Buxton, but the fact remains that our favourite theatre is set to disappear. Fond memories will remain.

Three's Company raise their glasses to the wonderful Pauper's Pit Theatre.
