Theatre
By 2b Acting...
We started on stage with 'A Woman’s Choice'. The play had six performances at Hoxton Hall in London. Since then we have produced, staged and toured 'Pimlico', 'Full English' , 'The Cleaner' and 'Spike'. Our new play ‘Page 27’ is in development.
Page 27 - Our next play
The clock is ticking and the count down has started to our most ambitious play yet. Page 27 is set to be Yorkshires first augmented reality play.
Page 27 is a new play based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and it will be written by 2b Acting's resident playwright David Jones.
Page 27 is an innovative play designed to engage new audiences and challenge creative boundaries by using today's communication platforms such as the internet, mobile phones, radio and TV to make theatre more accessible.
Augmented reality plays use the real world as the stage on which the story is told. To the audience the characters of the play appear to exist in real space and time and they are able to follow the story in much the same way as they follow the journey of characters on reality TV shows.
Our funding application has started and you can follow our progress on our news page.
SPIKE
“What does taking part mean to athletes?” This play explores some of the darker sides and has a very poignant conclusion that makes it a must piece of theatre
Based around the characters, Kirsty Ryan (Edit Petersen) and Natalie Bebo (Anastasia Ampatzoglou). As the UK woman's beach volley ball team, the two team mates unexpectedly progress to the Semi-Finals in the 2012 Olympic games. The excited pair is then surprisingly told by their coach, Amanda (Victoria Delaney), to lose their next match. This triggers a dramatic chain of events and some very unexpected consequences.
SPIKE previewed at Thomas Danby Studio Theatre Leeds on 27th and 28th Aug 2009, at Seven Art Space Studio Theatre Leeds on 9th and 10th Sep 2009, at The Carriageworks Studio Theatre Leeds on 23rd and 24th Sep 2009 and at The Alhambra Studio Theatre Bradford on 16th and 17th Oct 2009 with a special performance at the Ilkley fringe festival on 13th Oct 2009.
Plans are being made to re-stage the play for 2012.

The Cleaner
‘We can’t hide from the truth’
“She picked up his dirty socks, she cleared away the half-eaten take outs, she even hid his porn the day his mother surprised him with a visit. Sid became the cleaner’s obsession and he thought she was his guardian angel until his past got in the way…”
‘The Cleaner’ tells the story of Carla who cleans for Sid and her unwanted interference into his private world after reading his counselling journals – An interference that leads to disturbing consequences… Exploring themes of trust, identity and abuse, this play asks the questions, ‘How much can we trust our memories of the past and how much can others trust what they think they know about us?’
The Cleaner previewed at Thomas Danby Studio Theatre on 6th, 7th & 8th Sept 2006 and at The Carriageworks Studio Theatre Leeds 26th, 27th and 28th April 2006.
