So, a few weeks ago we had a Hammerpuzzle meeting, and decided that we needed to do a bit of fundraising to raise some money for our Edinburgh trip. Producing shows takes a lot of money, and because of the recent arts funding cuts there isn't much help available for theatre companies like us.
This is where two of our team decided to take matters into their own hands...
On the 5th August, Vicci and Suze will be doing a sponsored skydive! The plane will reach 15,000 feet before they jump out of it (eek!), and it promises to be the "highest fastest freefall" in the UK! As they say, if something's worth doing...
Anyway, if you're reading our blog, we would really, really appreciate your support! We have a justgiving page, and would love any amount, little or large, to help us on our way to our target!
Here's the link:

Vicci and Suze are really excited, and a little bit scared- taking stage fright to a whole new level, and proving that actors will actually do anything for that Shakespeare fellow.
Their mothers, on the other hand, took a bit more convincing!

Script and Castings
Well, it's been a little while since we last updated, but lots of little bits and pieces have been put into place before we start our intensive rehearsal weeks on Monday!
Firstly, we have our finished script! It has been wonderfully adapted from the original text by our own Hammerpuzzle-Tamsin, mixing the Bard's words with poetry infused dialogues and some hilarious character relationships. We can't wait to get started!
We've also cast the play, which is very exciting indeed! Here's our list of characters, and the Hammerpuzzler's that will be playing them:
Caliban & Adrian : Ben Britton
Trinculo & Sebastian : Rebecca Jade Hammond
Ariel: Elizabeth Cummins
Ferdinand & Antonio: Barnaby Hatch
Stephano & Alonso : Jay Oliver Yip
Miranda & Gonzalo: Tamsin Joanna Kennard
Prospero: Victoria Akers
So, as scripts are being learned and characters studied, we have one last thing to share with you before we begin our rehearsal updates in a few days time....
See the next post for more details!
