June 2008

Peepolykus recently completed a third stage of development on SPYSKI! prior to rehearsals beginning in August. The show will be written by John Nicholson and Steve Canny, directed by David Farr and will have a cast of five (announced soon).

Following a research week at the NT studio, the company are currently on an attachment at the studio to develop a script proposal for a new musical.

We are working on a collaborative project with NYT which will take place in August at the Soho Theatre.

We are in the early planning stages for a large scale, outdoor project called Stonehenge on tour. This will be a collaboration with Big State, Forkbeard Fantasy and The World Famous. It will be proposed by Wiltshire and Swindon as part of an Olympiad bid for the region.

Peepolykus are also R&D-ing for a new show based on short stories, collected from public contribution on the theme of ‘an event which has restored your faith in humanity or broadened your expectations of the world’.

The company have been invited to collaborate on shows with Anjali Dance and Firebird Theatre and to write a show based on an environmental theme for Pegasus Youth Theatre.
