In 2010 subtlenuance will be staging several other productions.
Here are two of the productions currently in development:
Life Is Impossible [working title]
A historical drama in the same genre as subtlenuance’s ambitious and very well received 2009 production of Catherine at Avignon.
Set in the New York of the early 1940’s, Life is Impossible is a tale of passion, betrayal, and intrigue.
As a war of unprecedented ferocity rages around the globe, planning has begun for the new world order that might eventually rise from the ashes. But what consensus can there be? With the stakes so high, agreement is impossible, and compromise unthinkable.
And so the eternal battle between cynicism and idealism is fought again.
Should we dream of a better world?
Or just grab what we can in the world we’ve got?
Like Catherine before it, Life is Impossible is a story of power: how it's created and how it can be challenged. Catherine battled the authority figures of 14th Century Europe. In Life is Impossible two very different women take on 20th Century power structures.
Life Is Impossible [working title] will be produced at the Newtown Theatre.
The Political Lives Of Children [working title]
An experiment in comic magical realism, in the style of subtlenuance’s 2008 critically acclaimed underground hit True Times Three.
The Political Lives of Children is an exploration of that moment in life [at whatever age it might occur!] when we realise that there are actually other people:
people we can’t control
people we can’t ignore.
Politics is the name for every way we deal with this most terrifying of revelations.
The Political Lives of Children will be produced at TAP Gallery.
