Hothouse Theatre's next stage production is nearing the stage when it will be ready to go into production.

It is being whittled down to 60 minutes, making it eligible for various fringe festivals. This process will be completed by the beginning of October.

The first stage of the production will be a read-through. This will not be part of the audition process but part of the writing process, giving people interested to get a feel of the piece and the writer to check that the idea works satisfactorily.

The piece will have several strong female parts and will be focused around the experiences of a nurse in the First World War.

If you are interested in being involved in the read through let Guy Know.

Audio book project

Dunc is looking for a voice actor interested in playing the part of Rosey, in his forthcoming audiobook, THE ADVENTURES OF B-B.

This is an everyday story of life in a bee hive and follows the fortunes of B-B, The Beeston Buzzer, and his girlfriend Rosey.

The hive is attacked by a band of evil hornets and it comes down to B-B and Rosey to save the day.

If you are interested in auditioning for the part of Rosey, get in touch.

This years Christmas performances

This Christmas we will be doing something a little different.

We will be holding a short series of performances under the title of Yarns for Christmas. These will be focused around a rehearsed reading of Memories of Christmas by Dylan Thomas, which was first broadcast in 1945, and will be done using a split narrative approach, allowing several actors to be involved.

There will also be a new Christmas story by Guy, a filmed story by Dunc, and an open mic section for others to share their Christmas Yans.

We are currently looking for projects wishing to host an evening of yarns and split the box office.

The recordings for the next section have been mostly recorded. The final section, the Birth of Oliver Twist will be recorded @ The Place Sherwood in early September.

Editing will be completed in time for an autumn release.

Watch out for the latest instalment being posted on this website.

Introducing Mr Charles Dickens so far.

Now that we have found a place … The Place, Sherwood … where it is quiet enough to do recordings, we will be getting around to recording The Mermaid and The King.

The aim is to get the cast from last Christmas together to do the recording in the autumn and release the audio version on the Oh My Nottz website in time for Christmas.

I will be in touch with the cast shortly.

Our latest project with the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust youth group, Keeping It Wild, was to take a minibus full down to London for the Restore Nature Now march.

We have now started the Hothouse Theatre podcast. This will be an occasional pod featuring audio theatre projects, stories and poems.
