Influences and Inspiration for Please Note

 Brecht’s theatre inspired the costume, set design and acting style of our play.

 David Hare’s The Permanent Way was the core influence for the creation of our performance. It gives accounts from a variety of people involved in the privatisation of the railways and various crashes that ensued.

 The first scene of our performance is verbatim theatre (the Joint Stock Method was used which was how The Permanent Way was written) and for the following scenes we improvised and recorded this to create our script.

We believe that theatre should provoke positive action in our audience.

We believe that theatre should focus on society and the individual’s position within it.

We believe that theatre should be accessible, including to those who are non-traditional theatre goers.

We believe that interpretation of beliefs and other texts will help to create an compelling and captivating performance.

We exist to raise questions about the politics in everyday life.

We exist to represent and explore the beliefs and experiences of real people.

We exist to inspire, interpret and collaborate with each other and other companies in order to provoke a thought provoking performance.

We will travel around the country, working with schools and other theatre groups to raise awareness of political and societal issues

We will perform both original texts, and texts inspired by other works of art.
