Dinner Theatre and Shakespheare are two pretty unlikely areas for Insurgent Theatre to get into, but we'll always rise to whatever challenge presented to us. When Renee, the organizer of this event asked us to come up with a street theatre performance about tomatoes, we quickly brainstormed the following: a cafe where the theatre is on the menu and the food is thrown at the actors. We put the deadliest theatre we could think of (Shakespheare) on the menu and got messy.
It went amazingly well, some lucky breaks, tons of press, and only a few assholes who thought the point of the thing was to throw the tomatoes as hard as possible at our faces and hurt us.
Good times! Keep an eye out for pics, video of the channel 4 coverage (if we can find it) and other links.
