Christmas Fund Raiser for Macmillian Cancer Support and our 2010 Tour

Cheekish Productions will be having a Christmas fund raiser which will help raise money for the Macmillan Cancer Support and to our tour of Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat and Eschara next year. There will be amazing homemade mince pies, an auctioning off of one of Joseph Loughborough's paintings which he is kindly donating (his new website is www.josephloughborough.co.uk in case you didn't know), some exclusive cheekish merchandise and more.

The event will also premier Grant Watsons's (director of the Pillowman) latest short film 'The Myth of Snowfall' which will then be followed by the 1940's classic 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Details are below:

Christie in Love Premier and a Visiting Photographer

Cheekish Productions is happy to have a visiting photographer for Christie in Love. Patrick Thompson is a friend from Wales who likes to push camera buttons and make pretty pictures. Here he is trying to be all arty while reading Voltaire.

We went out last night to spread the Christie love (perhaps that's not the best way to describe it considering Christie's antics) and ended up in Gordon's Wine Bar in Embankment. He was getting all excited over the lighting and took the image below.

We're heading off to do a bit of flyering over in Angel before picking up Joe and heading to the final dress rehearsal to take some photos before tonight's premier. Hopefully we will see you all between the 27 Oct and 22 Nov when Christie in Love is showing at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre.

Christie art work

I've just finished the program for Christie in Love. Joe, as usual, did a sterling job with the art and I have to share it with you guys.

10 Rillington Place - The Christie Residence

From the front of the house

To the back where Christie buried and hid some of his victims.

It is said that Christie used a human bone to prop open his gate in his garden. It went unnoticed by the Police while they were investigating Timothy Evans for the murder of his wife and daughter. Poor old Timmy was found guilty, thanks to Christie being a key eye witness, and hung but it was Christie who killed them. Thankfully Timothy received a post-humerus pardon and could enjoy the remainder of his death!

Contrarotulus by Phillip Whiteman

We've had a very busy couple of weeks and it's all coming together this weekend. This Sunday (25 October) sees Phillip Whiteman's play, Contrarotulus, being performed for the first time at the Daffodil Theatre Awards at the Stantonbury Theatre in Milton Keynes, where all profits go to the Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Contrarotulus is up against 19 other finalists who will showcase their 5 minute plays after which the audience and panel of judges will vote for the Best New Writing, Best Overall Piece and Best Actor.

The play is being directed by Dan Ayling and will star Michael Andrew, Giovanni Bienne, Nina Hatchwell, Phillip Whiteman and Sophie Woods.

He's the artwork from Joseph Loughborough.
