REHEARSING

LE GRAND RETURN

“Sexual intercourse began in nineteen sixty-three (which was rather late for me) - Between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles' first LP.” (Philip Larkin)

1963. That was the year that was. Beatlemania, the Kennedy assassination, Philby’s defection - and a scandal at the heart of the British establishment.

The Profumo Affair shook up Parliament and shocked the nation. But it also rocked a marriage. A fictional account inspired by real life events, ‘Scandal and Redemption’ takes a fresh look at issues that are still relevant today. In a world of sex, lies, politics and betrayal, will love conquer all?

TEN YEARS ON…

We’re ten years old! What a joyous journey we’ve had as this YouTube video will testify.

SCANDAL & REDEMPTION

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

Ten years ago we formed TALKING STOCK taking our double bill, ‘Deathwatch’ and ‘The Last Memory’ to the Halifax Festival. What an adventure since then, working with countless actors in a whole host of theatres and venues from cricket clubs and rural barns to village halls and cellars. We’ve also raised over £36,000 for charities close to our heart. Here’s to the next ten!

SAVING UKRAINE

Thanks to everyone who supported our recent benefit performance for Saving Ukraine. We are thrilled to report that we raised. £1200 for this great cause.
