Abortive Attempts at Explaining Myself
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
This will fund the R&D of our first show, Abortive Attempts at Explaining Myself, and to support us fairly paying all artists!
Seamoss Theatre was born out of many needs and convergences. Finding a surprising lack of small professional theatre companies to join in the outer boroughs of East London, co-Founders Jessie and Kit met while working as drag kings with Soho Theatre, and quickly a strong creative partnership fostered between them. Coming to theatre in very different ways, Jessie and Kit each bring multiple different skills and experiences to the table - Kit an actor, playwright, and director, with hands-on pub-theatre experience, and Jessie with experience in any task imaginable while working on fringe theatre in Tokyo, now an emergent producer in plays and musicals. Together they realised they had as full a toolkit as two people could wish to create work, not just joining projects. They also share a passion for new British theatre writing and a wish to make space, not just for their own work as playwrights, but for other untold and challenging stories.
We were able to self-fund our first scratch night in February, and after its great success, are seeking funding for research and development, including an industry reading, for our first full-length play, Abortive Attempts at Explaining Myself by our very own Kit!
We are now fully cast, venues are booked, other funding is coming together, and we will run a full industry R&D in October 2025! BUT that doesn't mean we don't need this fund to keep going - every penny takes the burden off our other fringe investors, and incredibly generous friends and family who are contributing what they can!
