'Pink Confetti' by Paul Roberts
03/03/2010 at The Royal Star, London.
Belfast, 1973. Halftank's mercy killing causes events to spiral out of control. Frank isn't sure why his prisoner is bleeding from his leg like that. And Badger is taking things personal.
As you read this, Spiderhouse goes into production with it's first theatrical outing, a semi-staged, rehearsed reading of talented screenwriter writer Paul Roberts' first stage-play 'Pink Confetti'.
This is very much a work in progress as the show's London producers plan on turning this into a full scale production in the capital later this year and possibly even making the journey up north for the famous Edinburgh fringe festival.
As with everything however, this will require funding, so if you know of any wealthy theatre patrons, please let us know!
The reading itself will not disappoint however for, on top of a phenomenal script we have the talents of:
Kat Gillet, our New Zealand born director who last year took the musical 'Dark Angels' to the Edinburgh Festival and has also directed the highly successful 'Durang Durang' at London's Hen and Chicken's theatre.
Stephen Cavanagh who graduated from Dublin's Gaiety Acting school in 2000 and has performed with companies such as the Citizens Theatre Company Glasgow and Mercury Theatre Colchester.
Richard Carroll, an Arts Ed graduate who has performed on the Olivier stage at the National.
Giles Maythan another former arts Ed and East 15 actor, who's most notable achievement to date was appearing alongside Emma Thompson in her critically acclaimed film "Journey" about the sex trafficking trade.
Kyle Ross, a recent graduate of The Drama studio who has performed as Julius Caesar with the Lazarus Theatre company at London's Blue Elephant Theatre and was one of the 2009 nominees for the highly recognised spotlight prize for best actor.
