Say Hello to some innovative theatre



Preview by Paul Nelson

fecund Theatre presents Hello You, a sharp edged, fierce and provocative drama, an innovative fusion of traditional theatre with aural and visual technology, which will receive its world premiere at Riverside Studios.

Staged as a film draft in a combination of fragmented narratives with split images, digital imagery and multi-layered sound, a series of seemingly unconnected events begin to accumulate and interweave with one another to reveal brief moments of human strength, humour, vulnerability and passion.

Greatly influenced by Robert Altman's Short Cuts and Michael Haneke's Code Unknown, John Keates' exciting writing transports the audience into the lives and ambitions of an amateur electric guitar player, a freelance storyteller, a merchandiser from Sainsbury's head office and a broadsheet European film critic.

fecund is an award-winning national theatre company, which over the past eight years has been developing the fusion of aural and visual technology to the traditional craft of theatre and performance skills of an actor.

fecund has classified this period as an apprenticeship to its art form. The delicate and magic fusion of technology, translated in the sell-out run of Under Milk Wood, was a testimony to fecund¹s defined and unique brand of theatre.

Hello You written and directed by John Keates. Video composition by Bev Reid, Score by Tom Derrett. WITH: Mark Adams, Ian Golding (pictured), Katy Kattan, George Lamb and Nicky Wardley. Presented by fecund Theatre, September 1 to September 27 at 8pm at Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, Hammersmith London W6. Tickets 020 8237 1111.
