‘SUBURBIA CALLING’ sees RAT BOY exploring stories from their roots in Essex. It’s the land of wheeler-dealers and dodgy geezers, and home to nosey neighbors, rowdy clubs and Joey Essex. Ahead of the album, they have released their new single 'BADMAN.' Listen to it now!
The National Theatre is touring a new production, Shut Up, I'm Dreaming, created by physical ensemble theatre company The PappyShow to state secondary schools across the country from 9th January – 31st March 2023.
The song is about Friends (duh), and how the nature, foundation, and intentions of friendships change throughout life. It has aspects of Latin, Pop and Hip-Hop, we were influenced by Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Timbaland on the beat”.
Comprised of Liam Haygarth, Nathan Mortimer, Harry Todd and Jordan Cardy (aka RAT BOY), Essex newcomers LOWLIFE have released their debut single “Wasteland.”
England in the 1960's may not have been able to get away with overt displays as we can today but that doesn't mean they were any less randy. And that's half the fun with Joe Orton's play, "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" currently playing at Theater Schmeater. They can't come right out and say what they all want from Mr. Sloane but the double and sometime triple entendres and skirting of the real issue makes for a naughtily fun evening.
Theater Schmeater continues its 20th Anniversary Season celebration with one of Joe Orton's quirkiest plays, ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE, opening on May 18 and running Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through June 16.
I guess it's just human nature to wonder what became of our beloved childhood icons when they grow up. Owe it to some sense of fictional closure if you must. And such is the subject of Balagan Theatre's season opener "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead" by Bert V. Royal and directed by M. Elizabeth Eller as we look at the Peanuts gang as they are allowed to progress beyond their childlike state into angst ridden young adulthood. Unfortunately the current production tends to focus on the angst and not so much on the adulthood.

Two sets of long lost twins unknowingly cross paths, and set the stage for an evening of mistaken identity, mixed up confusion and mayhem! This comic master piece is full of slapstick and sight gags, puns and pratfalls. Keeping track of which twin is which is only half the fun, as Shakespeare also stacks the deck with some of his most outrageous characters, including a jealous wife, a seductive courtesan, a hapless old man seeking his sons, a zany conjurer attempting an exorcism, and even a nun who's not all she seems to be!
