In Terrorem - Lear Rex

In Terrorem is latin for "in order to frighten." It is the title of both halves of our new show, the installation and the performance itself. Prospective audience can expect to see many an item of interest including a model town, a fiendishly edited and homemade simulator and a rather acerbic history of CCTV. Amongst many other things. Everything we do in this show is related to the contemporary practice of instilling fear of the shadows in the populace, for actions at home and abroad. It's all guided by the structure of King Lear and the aesthetic of the 1950s horror B-movie. So there's a lot going on. If you're Eastleigh-based look out for some guerilla mischief from us sharpish. Otherwise, we look forward to giving the Solent folk, just Itchen for some stimulation (a local pun - mwahaha!) a chunk of our inimitable propaganda. Vive La Gras Chat! Long live the Fat Cat!

We've also got plans in the works for our next show, currently titled Animal Schmarm, to get around those fiddly Orwell estate lawyers! Haha, I jest, but it's going to be us tackling the corporation-cum-state phenomenon of this decade. Shell, Nestle, McDonalds and Google - watch out! Our battle is looming!
