Marina and the Clone

Aim

Please help us fund the staging of the comedy Marina and the Clone which will be performed at the Kings Arms Theatre from 15-18 March 2017

Marina and the Clone

Marina and the Clone is my second play to make it to the stage.  It will be performed for four nights at the Kings Arms, Salford, a place close to the heart of Salford and Manchester's fringe theatre scene.

I have been fortunate enough to be offered the financial support of Arts Council England who are helping me ensure that the cast and crew of the production are paid a fair wage for the work they're putting in.

This crowdfunder will help reach the balance of the projected budget along with the Arts Council funding, ticket sales and the money I am adding to the coffers by way of a private donation.

The bigger picture

This is more than just a play to entertain people (though I sincerely hope it does that too).  The production has a number of other aims including the development of the cast and other personnel - this is my first time as a full time producer, something I intend to turn into a career from here on in and we're currently recruiting an intern to shadow and learn the ropes;  opening up a discussion about the themes of ageing and vanity through social media - find us on Twitter @marina_oliveto and also Facebook;  and introducing people who might not normally watch plays to an easily accessible theatre experience.

How you can help

There's no easy way to put this - I'm asking for your money...  The project is not for profit and we're a small team trying to pull off what we hope you'll agree is a worthwhile project and an entertaining play.  I have a reasonably small target of £300 to make the books balance so anything you feel you can spare to help me and the team achieve that goal will be really gratefully received - even if it's ony a  few quid.

Thanks for reading and if you're able to help me out - thank you very much indeed.

Marina and the Clone is on at the Kings Arms Theatre, Salford from 15-18th March 2017 - book tickets at www.kingsarmssalford.com
