PLaY is currently making a new show about the bizarre and fascinating phenomenon of Real Life Super Heroes - everyday people who take on a new persona and patrol the streets, helping homeless people and clearing up rubbish. Before Christmas we presented a work-in-progress 'scratch' performance at Live Theatre in Newcastle and at Compass Late as part of Compass Live Art Festival in Leeds. Now the new year has begun we are back in our rehearsal room working hard. We have some more 'scratch' performances lined up so watch this space.
Dick has been busy working with theatre-maker Daniel Bye on The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about how much things cost and how much they're worth. How much is beauty worth? What will people pay for an air guitar on eBay? And can I have a glass of milk please? These urgent questions and many others are answered in a whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments. The Price of Everything has just finished the autumn leg of its tour and will be on the road again in the spring. You can read more about the show on Dan's website.
