Is this the only show less-than-imaginative theatre groups can come up with? Surely there are other less performed pieces that you could be enticing theatre-goers with? Come on - set the scene...

Alex, thank you for your words of encouragment.

Actually, Scarp have done some 'interesting' plays over the last few years. All being directed by very talented people either graduates of university or people studying at university.

Crazy Face by Clive Barker - great show - not widely known and didn't put bums on seats - even with good promotion.

The Winters Tale - Shakespeare - (part of our Shakespearience 99 Festival) - another great show that isn't 'over done'. Because its not as well known as eg Romeo and Juliet. Again didn't get bums on seats

Let Me In - Ted Nielsen - not a well known play, but a great little one act play. Again, didn't get bums on seats

Simon and the Bohemians - locally written by Nick Miller. A great show with lots of emotion. Again, didn't get bums on seats.

There you have it...we have done the 'not so well known' shows. Cabaret is a great play, and with Jamie Cant's vision and skill there will be not be any boundary's for interpretation. I hope everyone does themself a favour and comes to see this amazing production in January 2001.

And we look forward to bums on seats.
