MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE

These two videos have cropped up online, apparently from the end of the year 2018...

Unusual occurrences can sometimes come in threes, so we'll keep an eye out if we receive anything more! Whatever it is, there are definite connections to 'The Daily Reverie' newspaper we received in late November last year.

Don't forget the Sponsored 24 hour StayAwake is this Thursday at Press Play House and also streaming online from the Who Is Moloch? website. The team are looking for challenges to do in that time, so why not email us or tweet @WhoIsMoloch #StayAwakeLive - they'll need all the help they can get!

Moloch is coming...so make sure you do too!

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.

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.

'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...

STORMIN' NORMAN - PREMIERING NOVEMBER 1ST!

That's right - the time has finally come for Norman (and indeed Encompass) to make our film debut!

Stormin’ Norman follows Norman (Christopher O'Shaughnessy), a homeless man living in London. We journey with Norman through the ups and downs of his everyday life until he meets Sarah (Eva Lea), a young woman who dares to break the routine. A film by Paul G Raymond, it is a comedy drama centred on an unlikely friendship between a grieving man and an aspiring musician.

Stormin' Norman will be part of the First Thursday Film Festival at Press Play House in London. If the venue sounds familiar that's because that's also where our next theatre production Who Is Moloch? is taking place in the new year! This is just the start of Norman's journey on the festival circuit, so why not come down and see the film before anyone else? You'll even get to meet the cast and crew!
