Award-winning Coventry-based theatre company Theatre Absolute premieres its brand new production All The Things I�d Do For You at its empty shop theatre venue in Coventry from 14 to 17 June.
The all-new production, written and directed by award-winning playwright Chris O�Connell, is a desperate love story and the first
play in a programme of work created by the company that will bring intimate and epic theatre to the heart of Coventry city centre over the next 18 months.
All The Things I�d Do For You is the first play to be written specifically for the UK�s first professional shop front theatre, and the intimate confines of the former �Fishy Moores� fish and chip shop in Coventry city centre mean audience members can expect to be right at the heart of the drama.
�There�s no hiding place, the action takes place within touching distance of the audience,� says Chris O�Connell. �They will be like voyeurs so we�ve had to experiment with how much we can keep back from them in order to maintain a real dramatic electricity.�
O�Connell says the play was written to make the most of the Shop Front Theatre�s sparse surroundings.
�We�ve pared everything down to the bare minimum, even the dialogue,� he explains. �It�s really been a case of experimenting with the space as much as the storytelling.�
The production stars Kate Ambler, who appeared in Theatre Absolute�s last production ZERO, and Jonah Russell, recently seen in Sound & Fury�s acclaimed production Kursk.
All The Things I�d Do For You runs from Mon June 14 to Thurs June 17, with performances at 7.30pm each night. There will additional matinee shows at 1.30pm on Weds June 16 and Thurs June 17. Tickets, priced �5, are available now from the box office on 0845 680 1926 or via http://www.oxboffice.com
