Montreal Fringe Details!

After attempting to make things beautiful last year with ‘Sorry…’ jointPredicament returns from the UK to explore spontaneity, frivolity, order and structure. Please Excuse the Mess transforms our everyday attempts to create logic from chaos into intricate theatrical moments.

jointPredicament is from London, UK, where Meg Deere, Alice Field, Lorna McGinty, Victoria Storey and Michelle Toner met in the strange, hallowed halls of the Central School of Speech and Drama while doing MAs in Applied Theatre (drama in the community and theatre in education). They all make their livings as artist-educators in a variety of community settings. jointPredicament strives to make honest and simple theatre while exploring stories, text, movement in as many ways as possible. The addition of one kind, beautiful and talented Naomi Bennett has made this performance particularly music-filled. On this side of the ocean they add the lovely, hilarious Lucy Segal as 'Canadian director'.

jointPredicament has developed a collaborative devising process that allows all members to be involved, even when living across an ocean. All their work is completely new and created by the ensemble.

Come see it. Come out for a drink with the company following. We'd love to meet you and talk about chaos and everything else.
