Mediamedea
Mediamedea are thrilled to have won Best Comedy Award for their Production of Moving Pictures. Moving Pictures was written by Cathy Crabb specially for James Foster to direct Sue Jaynes and Denice Hope in a piece for theatre. The play was also very well received at the Midland Hotel in July as part of 24:7 Theatre Festival, Manchester.
We are currently looking for funding to take both Moving Pictures and Fifteen Minutes with You to Edinburgh Fringe Festival next year.
Rehearsals are now under way for the next production - Paperboys by Cathy Crabb, which will be a comedy drama about the myth of
memories and how they inform our present lives. Cathy Crabb is writing two plays to be staged at Studio Salford in the near future -
Who's Bad - two young men preparing to leave the care system attempt to come to terms with
their childhood abuse alongside the unfolding events of the Michael Jackson trial.
Construction - a couple play out scenarios of re-meeting each other in order to explore their
trust and commitment beneath a huge construction of their belongings and memorabilia in their living room.
The outcome is not what they expect.
