Bunny in association with Traverse Theatre today announces a UK tour of Still No Idea, following an acclaimed run at Royal Court Theatre in 2018 – Lee Simpson directs Lisa Hammond and Rachael Spence.
The production opens at The Bunker London on 1 August, and then tours to Unity Theatre Liverpool, SICK! Festival The Lowry, Farnham Maltings, Norden Farm Centre for the Arts Maidenhead, Stantonbury Theatre Milton Keynes, The North Wall Oxford, New Theatre Royal Portsmouth, South Street Reading, The Quarterhouse Folkestone, Tobacco Factory Bristol, Marlowe Theatre Canterbury, and Traverse Theatre, before completing its run at South Bank Centre on 12 November.
Lisa and Rachael want to make a show, but there’s a problem: they don’t have any ideas.
So who do they turn to? The Great British Public of course!
They make a pact. They’ll go onto the streets, interview people, and whatever story the public come up with – that will be the show. No backing out, no changing what they don’t like. Deal.
Still No Idea is Lisa and Rachael’s quest: a mischievous look at two friends searching for drama, action, and a story to tell. Part-verbatim theatre, part-confession, part-comedy sketch show with a bit of singing and dancing thrown in. Turns out getting the public to write your story is quite an adventure.
Lisa Hammond and Rachael Spence today said “We are both thrilled to announce that we will be taking our theatre show STILL NO IDEA back on the road! We are performing at some amazing theatres across the UK and we are so excited to be sharing our show with those lovely new audiences!”
