A bittersweet comedy about four kids growing up on a Council Estate, PALS attracted critical and audience acclaim when it was premiered in Birmingham and has enjoyed three sell-out runs in the city. It has yet to be seen outside Birmingham and plans are afoot for a national tour in association with the Maverick Theatre Company.
"If you only see one play this year, make sure it's PALS. You'll laugh your head off and cry your eyes out." SOLIHULL TIMES.
The critically acclaimed, multi-media version of Shakespeare's classic tale. We are curently looking to develop this remarkable piece for the West End and a large-scale tour.

An Introduction to Theatre and Live Event Producing.
Set Up Your Own Company?
'An Introduction to Creative Producing', is a unique seminar. It is for writers, actors, director, potential investors - in fact anyone who is curious about how the magic of theatre works! The term Creative Producer is a new one. But what does the Creative Producer do? This one day workshop will look at that, plus everything needed to put on a production or start a production or theatre company, from amateur shows in your local village hall or local pub to major musicals in the West End of London. Finance, the law, choice of plays or musicals, copyright, contracts, fundraising, investing in theatre, parties and pitfalls!
The first course was at the beautiful Theatre Royal Drury Lane in September, 2009 and was very well received. The next workshop is planned for 20 March 2011 at RADA (The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) in London.
"A packed, invaluable workshop. My head was spinning but I think it's saved me about five years! It was unpretentious and has given me an overview of the whole theatre business. Thanks." PAUL BROWN - THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE.
