Nottingham graduates Lawrence Bolton and Lauren Grant have teamed up with a group of university friends and formed a brand new theatre company called TwoBox Productions.
TwoBox are bringing their first show to the fringe this summer, and have been working incredibly hard to get themselves there. Their show ‘Timeline’ was shortlisted for the Les Enfant Terribles Award earlier this year at the Pleasance in Islington, where it received huge praise and encouraged the team to develop to show and bring it up to the fringe.
Timeline is a verbatim piece of theatre, taking personal social media interactions and bringing them to life on stage. Award-winning NSDF Director Peter Bradley has been working closely with the cast of 5 Nottingham students to create a new theatrical world, where social media is brought to life.
The story follows three male and two female students during their first year at university, and highlights the different issues every student faces – bad accommodation, making friends, falling in and out of love, exam stress, and so on. Bringing real social interactions and facebook conversations to the stage makes this an incredibly powerful and also humorous piece of theatre, and TwoBox have been very creative in bringing something very familiar to audiences at the fringe in a unique and innovative way.
Timeline is on at Greenside Venue, Studio 1 from the 2nd – 24th (excluding Sundays).
