Miss Fletcher's War
by Guy Jones
Read Through
Hothouse Theatre
7:30 pm
21st Nov

Upstairs, The Lincolnshire Poacher, Mansfield Road, Nottingham

You are invited to a read-through of Hothouse Theatre's next stage production, Miss Fletcher's War.

This project is still at the writing stage and is intended to go into production in the new year.

The read-through is part of the writing process and is intended to help the writer finish it off.

We are looking for people who wish to read the parts (with no obligation to be involved in the production next year), or who want to get a feel of how this project is shaping up.

The piece, which focuses on the experience of a First World War nurse, as recalled by a primary school teacher in the late 1960s, has several strong female parts and many lesser male parts.

If you are interested in reading on the night then get in touch info@hothousetheatre.com

Introducing Mr Charles Dickens update

poster We have postponed the release of the next part of Introducing Mr Charles Dickens, largely because of the ridiculous pre-Christmas workload.

It will now be released early in the New Year. Shortly after the release, we will be auditioning for the next episode.

There will, however, be a bit of Christmas Dickens! Watch this space to find out what it is. facebook or twitter

Introducing Mr Charles Dickens so far.

Mermaid and the King

The cast from The Mermaid and the King will be getting together to record the piece this month.

This will give Guy enough time to edit it ready for a release on the Oh My Nottz website in time for Christmas.

Hothouse Theatre Podcast

In the New Year, we will start placing some of Hothouse Theatre's audio projects on the podcast. We will start with Pinocchio, which we did several years ago. This will be released in 4 parts along with some short audio stories and some longish poems.

Auditions for Rosey in The Adventures of BB

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.
