My theatre company Barefaced Cheek is currently in the full throws of marketing and promotion hysteria. With our new show (This Show Shall Remain Nameless...) gearing up for its debut in Cheltenham, (12-14 March at the Everyman Theatre) we have plans to visit the city this weekend. First stop is a familiarisation with the local folk and watering holes, artistic venues and gathering spaces so that we can effectively distribute our flyers. I'm sure the day will also involve some much needed refreshments, laughter and possibly an impromtu performance, a little teaser if you will... Then we will go to the Everyman to meet with the technical dudes and see the performance space for the first time.
In an unfortunate turn of events, we've just discovered that our Friday show is competing with Red Nose Day. I'm trying to convince my partners (Sean Devlin and Derek Keeping) that there's actually an opportunity here - why can't we just wear red noses and make a collection (could help with our travel/accomodation costs!). Not ok? Oh well, I tried. But seriously, I think we can use the Red Nose thingy to help give our show a boost on the night - ours HAS TO be the best comedy happening, right? My delusion should be interpreted as enthusiasm. Now, back to spreading the word..... (www.barefacedcheek.bravehost.com)
