⭐ AN IMPROBABLE MUSICAL ANNOUNCED FOR ROYAL & DERNGATE ⭐
Royal & Derngate is delighted to present An Improbable Musical as part of its Made in Northampton 2021/22 season.
With a brand-new show created at each performance, An Improbable Musical sees world renowned theatre company Improbable take to the Royal stage in Northampton, ahead of an autumn tour.
Their cast of seasoned improvisers includes Josie Lawrence (Whose Line Is It Anyway), Janet Etuk (Satyagraha – ENO), Niall Ashdown (Tristan and Yseult – Kneehigh), Ruth Bratt (Showstopper! The Improvised Musical) and Adam Courting (Extreme Improv), along with versatile musicians Max Gittings on flute, Joley Cragg on percussion and Juliet Colyer on cello.
Some of the best bits of any show are the parts that audiences never get to see – beautiful moments of discovery, fresh minted gags, a story coming alive for the first time – all of this traditionally happens in the rehearsal room.
With this new production, maestros of improvised theatre Improbable let audiences in on those moments by improvising from scratch a new show made especially for the room that night. Story, song and puppetry will be conjured from the unlikeliest materials and every moment of creation (or lack of it) witnessed.
This is not an attempt to improvise the “classic” musical but an unapologetic experiment in starting with nothing and seeing where the night ends.
The production is directed by co-artistic director of Improbable Lee Simpson and the associate director is Angela Clerkin.
An Improbable Musical will play Royal & Derngate, running from 5th February – 5th March 2022, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
