BARE ESSENTIALS II REVIEWED // A WORRYING NEWSPAPER ARTICLE // WHO IS MOLOCH? REHEARSAL PHOTOS

Hello folks!

Firstly a big thank you to all who came to Bare Essentials II. Our emerging artist showcase was an intimate success, with great performances from Liam Elvish, Chris Savage King and A State Of Change Productions.

Once more we ourselves performed the work of up-and-coming writers including the monologue "Fin" by Encompass researcher and dramaturge Christopher O'Shaughnessy, and hilarious quick-witted sketch "The Interview" by Emma Minihan.

What's Peen Seen was there to do a round-up of the event, and here's what they had to say:

"It is safe to say that the audiences of Bare Essentials are always open to the new and exciting work that has the potential to be the next big thing."

To read more visit the What's Peen Seen website. As usual more photos are on their way, as well as more to join our Bare Essentials playlist on YouTube. Bare Essentials III will take place on January 16th at Press Play House, where we are taking residence in the new year for our staging of Who Is Moloch?. There will be a big announcement soon about all things Moloch...watch this space!

WHO IS MOLOCH? REHEARSAL PHOTOS UP!

We've got a brand new rehearsal album of our newly-assembled cast up on our Facebook page. The team have been hard at work and have been undergoing vigorous (and painful!) soldier training with director Zuri Warren in preparation for their roles. To tell you any more would be a breach of national security!

In the meantime check out this strange article sent to us this week by a unknown source. Quite alarming if true...

Until next time! And remember...Moloch is coming...

WHO IS MOLOCH? CAST ANNOUNCEMENT & BARE ESSENTIALS II

After a gruelling three days of auditions we were finally able to announce the cast for our upcoming post-apocalyptic surrealist drama Who Is Moloch? by Pamela Carralero. The announcement was made via the show's website, which has seen some strange activity lately including an "emergency broadcast" received on Guy Fawkes Night declaring a state of war.
Just what is going on out there?
Whatever the case may be you can find the cast list below:

Major Benjamin Fuller - Austin Caley
Airman First Class Graham Maynard - Jonathan Whittaker
Command Sgt Major Dr. Bernard Baker - Andrew Miller
Areena Louis - Tara Postma
Sgt Major Lorna Blaise - Lily Carrie
Corporal Erika Furlow - Samantha Wynn
Private Dianne Lincourt - Abi Blears
Private Jesse B Conrad - Luke Manning
Private Ike Broughton - Jonathan Woodhouse
Private Annabelle Zeiger - Freya Parsons
Private Paul Lindsay - Robert Wallis

We're very excited about this new ensemble brought together for this very exciting production. We have some old hands from What It Feels Like, some more recent cast members from Stormin' Norman and a whole load of fresh new faces! Please join us in welcoming them to the Encompass family!

You'll hear a lot more about  Who Is Moloch?  in the lead-up to its London premiere at the end of January. For now, we hope you are all coming to Bare Essentials II: The Emerging Artist Showcase which is in support of the show itself. Taking place at the Battersea Barge on Wednesday 14th November, at 7.30pm, we've got an even more diverse line-up of guest artists this time around - for more details click here!


See you next week!
