Our 2014 production season comes to an end!

12/10/2014

0 Comments

 
In only our second year, we're thrilled and proud to be looking back at 5 productions throughout 2014 and thought we'd take a look at what we've been up to throughout the year!
We kicked off the year straight away in January with RETOLD - A Fairytale Festival... without the happily ever after, which ran for a week each at The Space as well as The Hen & Chickens Theatre and following which we were invited to become a resident company at the latter.

We then returned The Space twice in a row. First with a sell-out one-night-only benefit production of The Vagina Monologues in March, followed by our first full Off-Westend run of a full-length play The Devil & Stepashka in June, which transferred to Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre in July.

We then returned to The Hen & Chickens Theatre with two more productions. In August, as part of the Camden Fringe, we presented FORESEEN - Four post-apocalyptic new short plays and we ended our 2014 season at the venue with The Proposal / To Be a Wife - Two same-sex marriage comedies in October.

So after 5 successful productions this year, our 2014 production season is now over. But do not fear we've got lots of exciting things in planning for 2015, and a little preview will already be shown in a rehearsed reading this December. So stay tuned for further details to be announced shortly!

We're thrilled to announce the complete line-up of our cast and team for our next project
The Proposal / To Be a Wife - Two same-sex marriage comedies!


Directors will be Joe Allan (artistic director of Closing the Gap) and our own artistic director Tessa Hart.

Besides an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's farce The Proposal our associate writer Tilly Lunken is contributing a brand new comedy about same-sex marriage called To Be a Wife.

Michael Bagwell, previously seen in our Camden Fringe show FORESEEN, and Rus Kallan, previously seen in our spring/summer production The Devil & Stepashka: The Verdict is Yours, are returning and will perform alongside the rest of our fabulous cast Stephanie Lodge, Abigail Morgan, Cam Spence and Alice K Brown.

Venus Raven, who worked on FORESEEN as well, is also returning as our Sound & Light Operator.

More details on the productions cast and crew are available here.

The Proposal / To Be a Wife will run from Tuesday 7th to Saturday 11th October 2014 at The Hen & Chickens Theatre.

After 13 performances at two venues over the last two months The Devil & Stepashka has come to an end!

We finish on another high with yet another 4 star review, from Female Arts this time!

Many thanks yo our fantastic team and to everyone who came to watch and support the production!

★★★★ "The world is full of women with no voice of their own or no one to speak on their behalf. It is good that Goblin Baby Theatre in its own way highlights their plight in an entertaining, but provoking fashion." - Female Arts

Press Coverage for The Devil & Stepashka

24/6/2014

Now that the first two weeks of The Devil & Stepashka at The Space have come to an end, we throw a quick look back at some of the press coverage the production has received and give you a quick summary below.

First of all we had a series of interviews with various of the creatives involved and giving lots of further background details on the production and our journey to create it:
  • IdeasMag: Meet... Tessa Hart
  • OffWestend.com: Exciting new theatre company Goblin Baby talk to Tom Wicker about challenging audience expectations with their first full-length play THE DEVIL AND STEPASHKA
  • FemaleArts: Interview with Goblin Baby
  • The Space:: An Interview with Goblin Baby, creators of The Devil and Stepashka

Furthermore, the production also received great reviews!

★★★★ The superstitiously secular, domestic world of Claire Booker’s The Devil and Stepashka manages to create a believable male Antigone in what ends up to be very literally one hell of a double-bind. - Exeunt Magazine on The Devil & Stepashka (June 2014)
★★★★ The production is gripping and thought-provoking from beginning to end and left the audience with something to ponder and think on. (...) [Claire] Booker’s play is very brave as well as unusual and this production is one of those hidden gems on the London Fringe.
- Remotegoat on The Devil & Stepashka (June 2014)
Inspired by Tolstoy's The Devil, Claire Booker's play explores what happens when passion crosses over into obsession and - in keeping with the company's focus on political theatre - whether justice can ever be obtained within an inherently corrupt society. (...) The Devil & Stepaskha is an intriguing new work which leaves you alarmed that such obvious madness could play out so dangerously.

Another 4 stars for The Devil & Stepashka!

18/6/2014

The Devil & Stepashka has received another 4 star review from Exeunt Theatre Magazine this time!
★★★★ Zhenya (Paul Christian Rogers) is a rational man. He knows that if he succumbs to his passion for the peasant Stepashka (Tessa Hart), his idyllic marriage to another woman will be wrenched out of joint. And yet he knows that he can never get Stepashka out of his mind. The superstitiously secular, domestic world of Claire Booker’s The Devil and Stepashka manages to create a believable male Antigone in what ends up to be very literally one hell of a double-bind.

There are now only three performances left at The Space from 18th to 20th June, so make sure to come along!

The Devil & Stepashka has received a four star review on Remotegoat and Views from the Gods also has lots of good things to say about the production! We have exactly four performances left at The Space (apparently the magic number is so four today).

Book your tickets asap! Tuesday 17th to Saturday 20th June.

★★★★ The production is gripping and thought-provoking from beginning to end and left the audience with something to ponder and think on. (...) The set was simple but clever. (...) The cast of four was diverse and international but all delivered solid performances. (...) Booker’s play is very brave as well as unusual and this production is one of those hidden gems on the London Fringe.
