We've been extremely busy working on The Devil & Stepashka over the past couple of weeks and have a whole bunch of exciting announcements!

First of all, we have taken a series of new promotional pictures, you can already spot around the website. We have also updated our main design for the production and you can see the new look on the left.

Furthermore, we have new and extended performance dates for the production's transfer. After our initial run in June 2014 at The Space, we will now have three additional performances on the weekend of the 19th and 20th of July at Ye Olde Rose & Crown.

More details on this and everything else on The Devil & Stepashka are in the dedicated section of our website, If you haven't seen it yet, we are also organising a workshop on the play and have launched a crowdfunding campaign! Stay tuned for many more exciting updates and developments over the next weeks.

We are delighted to announce that Christopher Keech is joining us as the Production Designer of The Devil & Stepashka, which will be presented for a three-week-run in June 2014!

Christopher is a London based Cross Platform Artist.  His work fuses together a wide range of techniques and past experiences. Having graduated from The University of Huddersfield in 2011 with a BA (Hons) Degree in Technical Theatre, Christopher then went onto complete a MA by Research Degree, through practical and theoretical research into the application of Kinetic Screens (projection onto moving resources). Although his background is within a technical based arts environment, his interest and passion lays within design and visual arts. 

Whilst she has already been attached to the project for a while, we would also like to formally announce and introduce Leigh-Anne Abela who is joining us as the Director of The Devil & Stepashka.

Leigh-Anne  trained in Acting & Contemporary Theatre at East 15 Acting School & Performance Arts at Trinity College London. Leigh-Anne's recent theatrical credits, as a director, deviser and as a performer, include the French play, starring Juliette Binoche, 'Mademoiselle Julie,'which was performed at the Barbican Theatre, Sibling Production's 'Short Cuts' at The Hen & Chicken's  Theatre Bar, and National Youth Theatre's 'Playing Up: Double Bill' at the Unicorn Theatre. Leigh-Anne already appeared performing with the Goblin Babies in March 2014 at The Vagina Monologues.

Ever since our humble beginnings in March 2013 the company has steadily grown and further artists have joined the ranks of the Goblin Babies.

We are thrilled to announce that Lydia Lane has most recently become an Artistic Associate of Goblin Baby. Lydia is a London based actress originally from Athens, Greece. She moved to London in 2009 to do her MA in Acting at East 15 and since graduating she has been working professionally in theatre, film and voice overs. In January/February 2014 Lydia was seen in our show RETOLD and is now set to appear in our productions of  The Vagina Monologues as well as The Devil & Stepashka.

Earlier in the year Claire Booker has also become our third Associate Writer, next to Amy Bethan Evans and Tilly Lunken. Claire is a playwright and poet with particular interest in social and ethical questions. Her plays have been performed in Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Romania, America and the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Claire wrote Little Red Hoodie for our show RETOLD and is currently working on another short play for our upcoming project FORESEEN. Furthermore, she is also the writer of our first full-length play The Devil & Stepashka.

More details about our associates are available under Meet the Goblin Babies.

The Space held their first ever Season Launch Party and we are thrilled that Goblin Baby got to be a part of it. On top of all we were the only visiting company that has two projects coming up this spring 2014 which we both introduced on the night.

First there will be The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler (one-night-only benefit production on March 16th) and then we're back in June with The Devil & Stepashka by Claire Booker.

Everything else during their spring season looks pretty awesome too, so we're thrilled to be a part of it!

More pictures of the night are available in our gallery.
