First up, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged for Word:Play 4 so far, helping us reach over half of our target! We really, really appreciate your support!

The full line-up of the plays, and brief synopses, can be found on the Word:Play 4 page on our website.

We went for a site visit to the new Arcola Theatre today. It's incredible: a beautiful Victorian factory that has been converted into theatre spaces. We checked out the brand new Studio 2, an 80-seat black box space. It's going to be a perfect playing space for the production. We can't wait to get stuck in and bring the world of the six plays to life. You can read more about the Arcola's big move at www.futurearcola.com.

We're pleased to announce our Production Team for Word:Play 4: Designer - Stephanie Williams (recent Motley graduate), Lighting Designer - Jim Bristow (Word:Play 3), Sound Designer - Mat Williams (Word:Play 2), Movement - Robin Guiver (Box of Tricks' Associate Artist) and Stage Manager - Louisa Davis (a Box of Tricks regular). A hugely creative team who will be helping us realise the production!

We have auditions next week. The line-up is looking strong and both of us are really looking forward to seeing the plays come off the page and to finding the perfect cast and company. We'll keep you posted with the cast when announced...

In the mean time, please can you help us to keep plugging our WeFund campaign. Tell anyone you think might be interested in getting involved: blog, tweet, e-mail, Facebook, Skype, or even tell them face-to-face!

Thank you.

Vive la revolución!
