And Finally...
A letter to the company from
an audience member which, well, is the sort of response that's
most important of all.
Hi, My name's Mike David and
I'm a St. Albans based actor/writer/director, though originally
from Edinburgh, and I saw your show during 'week 0'. I have to
say that I haven't been so transported by pure theatrical magic
since I saw Shockheaded Peter. The Principle of Motion is a brilliant
and bewitching piece of storytelling and exactly the sort of thing
that I long to achieve... so thank you for giving me a wonderful
illustration of what can be done.
Story-telling is the oldest
and most important way we have of entertaining and informing and
it must be done with an intense devotion to the story being told
and no indulgence in selfish displays of personal brilliance for
its own sake; it is very hard to find these days, but, your amazing
team proved it still can be. Thank you. I'm so glad you've garnered
some stunning reviews because I was rather worried by the venue
you fetched up in. But the show is so powerful, and funny, that
the awful space rapidly became irrelevant.
If I can help at all in spreading
the word down here about the show and possibly point you in the
direction of some touring venues in the S.E., I'd be delighted
to do so. The only qualification is that you must all come and
see my new company's production of Fando & Lis and The Lesson
in November. Otherwise, my services come entirely free! Thank
you again for a truly magical and inspiring experience. Gush over.
Love and Mercy, Mike David
