Triliteral Imminent!

The Triliteral Festival is drawing close. We have been rehearsing our 9 shows for 2 weeks now, and watching the plays take shape is beyond exciting. Of course, I’ve also been doing my fair share of trekking around Nottinghamshire, putting up posters and hunting props, but now I’m doing it in the searing sub-tropical heat rather than arctic blizzards. Which is nice. Although today it got a lot nippier all of a sudden.

This is all getting very real. It’s slowly dawning on me that six months of frenzied organization and hard work is finally reaching its culmination. This is confirmed by the fact that tickets are now officially on sale via our website, http://www.haldentheatre.co.uk/shop.html! This means you can take a look at our full performance programme for the 11th, 12th and 13th of June and book tickets to our shows. Tickets are individually priced at £4 (with a 50p online booking fee) but for you diehards out there who want to see more than one show (which you really, really should, being as this is a festival celebrating a collection of newly written plays) we have had the crafty idea of Festival passes. For £10 you can buy a pass which will get you into three shows of your choice- any day, any venue- or, for £25, you can get complete access to every single Triliteral show. That’s 9 hours of solid entertainment!! Sounds like a bargain to me.

The way the shows are coming together at the moment- with staging being figured out and actors learning their lines, perfecting their roles and being generally actor-y- I can say that all the months of preparation are definitely going to be worth it. I feel like a theatre machine at the moment- and while I have never been so phsyically unhealthy (lack of sleep and incredibly unhealthy diet due to repeatedly forgetting to take stuff out of the freezer and so being forced to eat fast food and ready meals), there is something mentally invigorating about being so busy and active. Every day is a little adventure, and a little more gets accomplished each day. And there’s always a new horde of traffic wardens in Hockley to be spotted.

To summarize: Triliteral= going to be ace.
