F**ked Up Bedtime Stories

Posted on: June 23rd, 2022 by ettEditor

Strange stories for stranger times. With the contemporary world being the troubled, complicated, messy place it is – difficult enough for us to wrap our conscious minds around – we want to interrogate the ugly underbelly of what haunts our unconscious minds.

F**ked Up Bedtime Stories (for Adults) consists of 7 stories from 7 writers, read by leading actors and put out as a podcast and listened to by audiences right before bedtime, all exorcising different and unique horrors from our world and from our lives.

Commissioned and Produced by ETT

This powerful installation combines the skills of theatre/XR director Sacha Wares with the in-depth knowledge of John Pring, editor of Disability News.

Mixed – The Monologue Series

Posted on: June 23rd, 2022 by ettEditor

Writers in the series include Javaad Alipoor, Jade Anouka, Lydia Ayame Hiraide, Mei Mei Macleod, Sabrina Mahfouz, Grace Savage, Testament and Jamael Westman, with more to be announced.

Mixed is a monologue project which revolves around representation of mixed-race identities. The 2021 census showed a further 40% increase in the number of people identifying as being from ‘mixed/multiple ethnic groups’ since 2011. And yet this burgeoning demographic isn’t really reflected in the stories we see on stage, where stories around mixed-race experiences are often generalised. In response to this gap in our industry, Director Ben Quashie came up with Mixed as a project focused on curating stories from a wide range of mixed race experiences and imagination of artists around the UK.  

Dramaturgs on the series include Kane Husbands (Artistic Director of The PappyShow) and Beth Kapila (Artistic Associate at Tara Theatre).

Mixed will be published and made available to the public and Drama students in 2023.

Children’s Children

Posted on: February 18th, 2021 by ettEditor

How much of our history do we carry? From the fields, across the waters and onto the streets; revolts become riots, rallies become tweets. This is the life. This is repeat. Uncovering texts from throughout history and the present day and presenting them for 2021, these films ask how much of the past remains in our present. – Films available to watch below & via Youtube & InstagramTV.

Children’s Children – a short film, curated by Amber James, exploring the interaction of past with the present, and celebrating Black history. Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu and Rikki Beadle-Blair direct five pieces performed by Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Amber James, Kayla Meikle, Khai Shaw, and Sule Rimi.

The film rediscovers the voices of black activists, poets, artists and real working people, across a period of more than a century. We conclude in the modern day after hearing from Sojourner Truth, Una Marson, Stanley Crooke, Desmond Pierre and Still Shadey.

Shot on location at Prince of Peckham Pub
