Make Better Please // Projects

Make Better Please is a collaboration with Lewis Gibson. It has been commissioned by Bristol Old Vic, Theatre Bristol and BAC, and will be developed during 2010.

As at a Quaker Meeting, we wait attentively in silence for someone to feel moved to speak. In these times of crisis we make a collective ministry with you, BAC's secular Society of Friends. Uninvited Guests convene a one-off Meeting of Sufferings, to voice stories from the news and listen to your concerns. As tonight's newscasters, your current affairs are transmitted to local radios. Possessed by the spirits of corporate fat cats, cabinet ministers and media tycoons, we invoke our contemporary horrors and fears in order to banish them forever. We call forth ghosts from the past and channel the powers-that-be, tuning in to voices from the ether wirelessly in search of any answers. Frothing at the mouth we dance it out and rage on your behalf to seek some quantitative, curative easing.
