In the beginning of our creative process, it was established that we as a company wanted to focus on comedy. We weren’t entirely sure what kind of comedy, so we listed each area of comedy and went around the group and asked which each member would prefer to focus on. Also, through multiple creative devising sessions we decided that we wanted to focus on the decade of the 90s.

The 1990’s saw many technical advances, political movements, music legends, a sheep being cloned and a famous royal death. By taking all these elements, it allowed us to go and research into each element and bring forward our findings and create a nostalgia filled performance.

90s Research

(Kick A Pigeon Theatre, 2017a)

Our rehearsals involved a lot of improvisation, which the writers filmed and then went away and wrote something around what they had seen. It wasn’t until a few scenes were written when we all had to make decisions on what kind of character we wanted to play. We were hot seated and asked questions by the writers so they were able to go away and write scenes based on the characters we had created.
