Fools and Thieves Theatre Company is a passionate group of four creatives united by a shared vision: to tell compelling stories in innovative ways that resonate with contemporary audiences. Our team consists of Florence Carr-Jones (founder, writer, and director), Greta Abbey (founder and actor), Leonardo Shaw (founder, writer, and actor), and Isabella Wright (producer). Together, we constantly explore the role of theatre in today's world, aiming to connect with and challenge our audience in fresh and meaningful ways.
Our debut production, "It's A Sheet Show," is a thought-provoking play that delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the search for genuine connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Through minimalistic staging and powerful performances, we aim to create an intimate and immersive experience that will leave a lasting impact on our audience.
As a new company, we are seeking financial support to bring our vision to life at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The funds we raise will be used to cover several critical aspects of our production:
- Set design and construction: We will create a minimalistic yet impactful set that effectively conveys the intimate atmosphere of the play, drawing the audience into the world of our characters.
- Marketing and promotion: To ensure our show reaches a wide audience, we will invest in advertising, printing posters, flyers, and other promotional materials, helping us stand out in the vibrant and competitive Fringe environment.
- Venue and technical costs: Participating in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival involves venue rental fees and technical expenses that are crucial for the smooth running of our performances. Your contributions will help us pay back our venue and secure the necessary technical equipment.
By supporting Fools and Thieves Theatre Company and "It's A Sheet Show," you are not only investing in a compelling and relevant production but also in the future of four dedicated and talented creatives. With your generous support, we will have the opportunity to transform our unique vision into a reality on stage, firmly establishing Fools and Thieves Theatre Company as an exciting new voice in the theatre industry.
