Adapted and performed by Ross Ericson, the man behind Edfringe Sell-out WW1 "The Unknown Soldier" Brought to you by Grist to the Mill Productions - the team behind "The Unknown Soldier" and "Gratiano"
Self-contained - we bring our own lights, or we can use the venue's lighting and sound if available.
We bring all out own lighting and sound equipment and would require at least 4 electrical sockets. A performance area of 3mx3m.
Get in would take around 4 hours to set everything up and 1 hour to get out of the venue. We don't have an interval but would be happy to do a post-show talk and have a break in between the show and that.
We can supply A4 or A3 Posters and A5 flyers, images and copies for online promotion.
Grist to the Mill was founded in 2012 with a specific aim to bring new writing to the world’s stages. Resident writer Ross Ericson has had noted success with his critically acclaimed adaptation of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones and his play Casualties, which was nominated for Best New Play at the OffWestend Awards and published by Methuen.
The company also works closely with Red Dragonfly Productions, a British East Asian Theatre company, and has been bringing new stories and well-known classics all around the UK and regularly to Fringe Festivals.
‘The quality of the adaptation and the wit of the cast ensure that … it makes for a thoroughly entertaining evening… Exactly as promised, a delicious and varied meal is enjoyed by all’ The Public Reviews on Tom Jones
