Hello everyone!
First of all BIG APOLOGY for sending out the drafted version of etude yesterday. I forgot that I had pre-scheduled it before finishing. Heads been a bit all over the place this past week so it completly slipped my mind.
Here is the revamped, actually finished version of the etude that doesn’t look like spam!
Enjoy
Typical Girls by Morgan Lloyd Malcom
Wednesday 6th October
£15
In a specialised unit inside a prison, a group of women discover the music of punk rock band The Slits and form their own group. An outlet for their frustration, they find remedy in revolution. But in a system that suffocates, can rebellion ever be allowed?
Part-gig, part-play, Typical Girls is funny, fierce and furious.
Note - I also wanted to shout out the self care guide that Clean Break have made available for this production. Have a look here for more info

Plant Fetish is written and performed by Chanje Kunda, re-imagined for camera by film director Juliet Ellis. The film is a dark satirical comedy. A black woman living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder discovered that plants reduce stress. Think ‘After life’ by Ricky Gervais meets Love Island, via Gardeners’ World.
Chanje was suffering with stress and anxiety when she first discovered that plants soothe the soul. She then learnt that some women in Mexico, fed up with men, were getting married to trees. Trees aren’t very talkative, but they are tall, do great things for the planet, and are renowned for their wood. Chanje was inspired and surrendered to this notion. She fell in love with plants. The pressures of life drifted away.
In the film, there will be music, and movement combined with dramatic narrative and metaphors of seeds, growth and renewal.

Why don't we talk about it? Fehinti Balogun asks this urgent question and offers an invitation in Can I Live?, a vital new digital performance about the climate catastrophe, sharing his personal journey into the biggest challenge of our times. Weaving his story with spoken word, rap, theatre, animation and the scientific facts, Fehinti charts a course through the fundamental issues underpinning the emergency, identifying the intimate relationship between the environmental crisis & the global struggle for social justice, and sharing how, as a young Black British man, he has found his place in the climate movement.
In the face of a sense of helplessness about the climate catastrophe, Can I Live? is an outstretched hand, inviting audiences to recognise they are not alone - and that through understanding the issues and connecting with the many powerful activists around the globe driving change, we can find a sense of hope for the future.

How It Is charts a journey undertaken by turns alone and accompanied. Time and space are fragmented and juxtaposed in one of the most eloquent and exquisite texts in the Beckett canon, continuing the company’s critically acclaimed exploration and illumination of Beckett’s prose texts, How It Is seeks out new ways for audiences to experience Beckett’s prose by jumping genres—the novel to the stage and now the stage to screen. This durational piece of six hours is a first-time opportunity for an audience to experience the work in one sitting.
NOTE - This production is 6 hours long
Thats everything for this week and sorry for the weird mess up!
