Champagne Flutes & Wine

Last night was the 33% London festival's Gala night at Ovalhouse, where we treated our guests from the press & industry to a night of plays by the some of London's best emerging young artists - we also gave them flutes of wine - 'cos we fancy like dat!

The lineup consisted of: Around the House, The Grandfathers and Normal?, all of which were execellent - thanks to all the artists, crew and the front of house staff. We hope all of our guests enjoyed the productions - from the Normal? post-show disscussion I suspect they did.

Tonight we have the opening night of Entropy, the first in our And Introducing... series. Here are some production shots:

Entropy is on for two nights only, so book your tickets NOW if you don't want to be disapointed.

The Day After the Night Before!

Have you ever been filled with that mix of anticipation, nerves and excitment, that makes your stomach feel like a black hole that consumes all food within touching distance only to want more?... No?... Well - Neither have I... But lets just say that yesterday the 33% London office was filled with nervous anticipation. Why? Because last night was the opening night of Ovalhouse's 33% London festival, and despite months of hard work by Becky and Palesa (33% producers); the writers, directors, casts and crew, launch days are rarely without surprise or incident. That said, opening night was GREAT! - Here are some production shots for those of you who missed it:
