The Lost Work of Tom Crawshaw

This Tuesday (14th April) at 7:30 a rehearsed reading of Tom Crawshaw's play Still Life will be performed at the Jackson Lane Theatre.Well to be honest, sections of the play will be read, so don't worry, you won't find out the full story until it is launched as a fully fledged production.

If you've been missing some of Tom's more conventional writing (and by this I mean, not directly linked to Three's Company's inter-reactive work... Tom's writing is never exactly conventional) then this is the perfect night for you.

Tom began work on Still Life in 2007 just after finishing his first draft of Play On Words, and whilst writing Auditorium and Adventure Time he has been re-shaping and honing this brilliant new play. Tuesday sees Still Life's first public outing of any kind. So come along to the Jackson Lane Theatre and see Tom's most recent play and two other new works in Artists Anonymous Theatre Network's Page to Stage. And it's only £3.50!

Highland Word Play

Tom's award winning play is to be performed again outside of Three's Company. After productions in London, Oxford, Texas and others Play On Words is to be performed by LTS Productions in Carlisle. After winning the Cameron Mackintosh New Writing Award, Tom's play has garnered interest across the globe.

After Three's Company's 2006 production, many companies have been interested in reproducing the work. If you want to see the play before it gets too expensive get along to the LTS Production!

The production runs in Carlisle on the 2nd & 3rd of April, so get along to The Green Room Theatre and see a bit of 'Stoppard for the Gondry generation'.

PS. Although I would have loved to, I have not been able to add a Macbeth joke in this blog post, I've reread the whole thing and couldn't find a thing, not even in the obvious Porter and Tomorrow speeches... but go see Play on Words.

Update 2/4/09: Michael intentionally hid a rather major geographic misconception in the above post. If you can spot it, you could win a cool prize! -3C

Texan Tragi-Comedy?

Congratulations to Tom, whose Play On Words has been chosen to be performed in a High School theatre festival in Austin, Texas. Following Three's Company's successful Edinburgh Fringe production of the play (as part of its first ever UK tour) it attracted a number of offers from directors from around the globe.

Play On Words will hopefully be seen closer to home in the not-too-distant future, with plans for a Three's Company revival on the cards...
