It is 2022, Global Warming has almost reaching Global Boiling, people are wasting energy like there's no tomorrow, and maybe there isn't?

The Government must take drastic action. To reduce water wastage and carbon emissions, socks are banned.
What will old men wear with their sandals? What happens to all the sock puppeteers? How much do knee highs go for on the black market? Find out in Put a Sock in It.

Patchwork Theatre explores an important issue with their trademark absurdist humour and physical style. Definitely hilarious, probably ridiculous, possibly political, this play will tour the South and form Patchwork's debut run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

We are a shiny new company with bags of enthusiasm and talent but sadly no bags of cash...yet! We are proud to work with a local emerging writer and student costume designers, together we want to show the rest of the UK what Dorset has to offer in the way of young artistic talent.

We’re pretty resourceful folk, but to show you the very best we can be, we do need every penny we can get! By helping us you would not only be supporting an eco-initiative, you would be showing your belief in the South West Arts Scene and giving enthusiastic artistic bods an amazing leg up, so we can keep creating wonderful theatre for you.

P.S We’ve lost our video camera... it was last seen in the sock drawer...if you know what happened to it do let us know...

Writing

Posted on 06/05/2011

Hi all, Patchwork has never had a blog, usually too busy rushing around to sit and write, but here goes! Had a great meeting with Mr Dai Hill, our fantastic writer last week and he is now beavering away, sending us scripts like a speed demon which make us laugh every day in the office which is nice! Costume designs are finally sorted, hopefully and set designs are done and dusted and look pretty cool. We had a whale of a time on Jenny's birthday filming the video for this very website, as soon as the blinking thing resizes it'll be up in all its glory. Think that's all for now, Patchwork
