Original Theatre and Riverside Studios announce release of Miles and The Fall
Original Theatre and Riverside Studios have announced the release of two new play-readings on demand.
The latest releases in their Originals online on demand series will be available to watch after being recorded live from Riverside Studios
Released on 10 November 2022 will be Miles by Eilidh Nurse, starring Gary Lewis, Hiftu Quasem, Cristian Ortega, Lewis Mackinnon
Somewhere in Scotland, miles from anywhere, Bobby’s Caravan Park is struggling, in fact it’s crumbling. Janie is the only employee and she’s been stuck out here for longer than she cares to admit – and she’s drinking more than she’s willing to admit, yet frankly who cares anymore?
Ed can’t pass the Tesco quiz, he can’t go out in the rain without his cag in a bag, he can’t drive and he can’t help who he’s related to. But at least he’s got a new job… at Bobby’s Caravan park. Hopes, dreams and families collide in this searing, tender yet funny play that asks what it means to process our past and the traumas that lie within.
It will be followed on 21 November 2022 by The Fall by Drew Hewitt, starring Alex Kingston, Tyger Drew-Honey, Sara Stewart, Adrian Lukis
Janet and Liam are happily married until she stops talking to him. And everybody else. In an attempt to diagnose her loss of speech, she begins seeing a psychiatrist who starts to probe at a secret buried in the depths of Janet’s psyche, the revelation of which has profound and lasting implications not just for her but the entire family.
This masterful play examines with wit, humour and searing honesty the complex ideas surrounding free will, love and the painful truths of existence.
The new releases join the already available Tikkun Olam, written by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs, directed by Michael Boyd and starring Luke Thompson, Diana Quick, Debbie Korley and Jake Fairbrother.
The three plays were chosen from hundreds of submissions entered to Original Theatre Company’s nationwide competition to discover unproduced playwrights. It was judged by Mike Bartlett, Sarah Butcher, Angel Coulby, Jack Holden, Nick Marston, Dafydd Rogers, Abdul Shayek and Rachel Tackley.
The productions are available to watch until 28 February 2023.
