A SHORT HISTORY OF RAMSHACKLICIOUS

The judging panel had seen a lot of Holly and Jack's previous work and thought their idea for a street show was brilliant. So Holly and Jack went into rehearsals with the following team to research and develop "The Road to Nowhere".

Marc Parrett - Performer, musician, set, prop and puppet designer/maker
Les Bubb - Mime artist, performer, ideas man
Emma Lloyd - Director
Gill Stoddart - Costume Designer

During rehearsals, the assembled cast played a lot of music and discovered a lot of games. They played and played until this strange family of misfits appeared and so did a story for them to inhabit. They became a travelling family, bound to the road, on a futile mission to find brides for the boys before their overbearing Nana can rest in peace.

The initial explorations were presented as a series of static moments within
a walkabout context at the Harbourside Festival, Bristol. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, both from audiences and seasoned professionals.

"I am sure this new generation
of performers will delight
and wow audiences for
many more years to come"
Richard Stamp,
aka Stompy [dotComedy]

"The National street arts
scene NEEDS more of
this sort of theatre"
Richard Headon [Desperate Men]
