The Doubtful Guest begins...

Posted by: Simon Bedford (Marketing & Touring Manager, Hoipolloi)

Welcome to the new Hoipolloi Theatre blog!

This is a brand new space for the company and we'll be using it (for the time being at least) to document the creation of our brand new production, The Doubtful Guest.

Inspired by the Book of the same name by the American author/illustrator, Edward Gorey, the show will be launched on a 4-week UK tour in March 2008. It is our first new ensemble show since The Impostor back in 2006.

One of the first stages in the making of any Hoipolloi show is an early period of R&D and over the coming two weeks, The Doubtful Guest team will be down in London beginning to piece together how the show might work.

Over the next six months, we hope to bring some interesting insights into the rehearsal and development process so please keep coming back to see how the show is progressing!
