THE BRUNCH CLUB
Theatre Project
|
Funded by Awards for All and delivered at SORM Studios, Bradford, the Brunch Club Theatre Project took all of the work that was created for the short film and made a piece of theatre. Most of the ideas and characters that were written for the film were expanded for this piece of work, allowing the group to explore their characters in more depth and to expand the story-line. A brand new script was written for the show, which looked more closely at personal relationships as well as dealing with issues such as mental health, loss, grief and bullying.
LOCK-DOWN Unfortunately due to Covid 19, the group were forced to abandon the show with only five weeks left until they were due to perform. Although the group continued their sessions online throughout the whole of lock-down, it just wasn't possible to do the show in any other way given the restrictions we had. Many ideas were discussed, but nothing felt right or comfortable for the group. However, as lock-down started to ease, it was decided that instead of wasting all of the hard work, a film would be created using some stories and monologues written for the show, which would at least give the group a piece of completed work and some closure to the project. |
