It’s a
great time for NIE, our rehearsal residency in Peterborough at the Key Theatre has neatly
coincided with the warmest weather anyone’s seen in months. So in between
conjuring sub-zero temperatures, shivering, donning multiple layers and yelling
over the sound of the icy wind, we’ve been having picnic lunches in the
sunshine on Peterborough embankment.
One half of set design team Bicat&Rigby- Kate has had a colourful few weeks, browsing local shops for taxidermy
pigeons, suspending maps from the ceiling of the Key Theatre studio and not
infrequently finding herself covered in PVA glue.
We received
some great feedback from our open rehearsal last week and are now in the final
countdown with one day until the premiere. Though the time’s gone by unnervingly
fast, we’re looking forward to it. Jump into your preferred mode of transport,
be it car, train or sled - don a moustache, and get yourself to Peterborough to see North North
North this week!
