Visit from the Poster Ghost

The curtain is fast approaching with less than a fortnight until INFERNO weekend.  We have taken up residency in the Rosemount Community Centre (see bottom of this entry) waiting for the call to start building set in the Tivoli Theatre.

In the mean time our publicity has begun to take the town by storm. A tinge of pink and the stern looking face of Strindberg has been appearing on every available wall space from Torry to Balgownie. A giant poster has appeared on the public information pillar on Upper Kirkgate Street. The effect is quite impressive when running into it on a dark October’s evening. I shouldn’t be surprised if it were to be the inspiration behind one or two costumes, this Halloween.   

Thanks to James Collins and his beer coasters no table-top in Aberdonian Pubs and Coffee houses is safe! We have 1000 of these mini INFERNO adverts to distribute. We have yet to make an impression on our crate of beer mats, so please do look around for our pulp-board Strindberg mementos. More of James’s work can be found on his blog and website: http://james-collins.co.uk/

Lastly, our Kickstarter Campaign is entering its last week and with 82% of our £2000 from 29 backers, we have never been so close. As the bid for pledges closes this Friday at one minute to midnight, we are entering final home straight. With £349 required to bring INFERNO and the Tivoli to life, we are looking for any and all assistance that can be spared. It is your chance to bag some Strindberg-esque memorabilia and even to secure your name in our programme before it goes off to print on Friday. Hopefully!
If you haven’t yet done so do go and have a look at our campaign page. We have a nice video with a 60 second synopsis of the play to wet your theatrical taste-buds.

Many thanks! Campaign-counter embedded below to keep an eye on our progress:
