ARTISTIC POLICY
Lisa Hammond and Rachael Spence are independent theatre-makers and friends who for the first time have teamed up to make their own show together. Collaborating with Improbable’s Lee Simpson, their work blurs the boundaries between real-life and fictional story-telling, exploring the myriad of possibilities that occur when you involve the general public in making your show.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘We were all in on the disability joke, freely laughing at ourselves and at society’s llingering struggles with disability... thought-provoking new show.’ Disability Arts Online (No Idea)

‘Lisa Hammond's Belle has both a cheerful twinkle in her eye and an intense watchfulness, it is a beautiful performance full of fragility in a show which always walks the tightrope between comic and the serious.’ The Guardian, Told by an Idiot’s Beauty and the Beast

‘Lisa Hammond is remarkable as Carlotta, reminding us that there is no relation between size and physical passion.’ The Guardian, Told by an Idiot’s Shoot Me in the Heart

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
No Idea A funny, heartfelt and sometimes staggering show about friendship and our preconceptions about what we can and can’t imagine when we look at someone. (85 mins, 4 on the road, ages 16+.)

WRAP-AROUND
Workshops in verbatim theatre techniques, improvisation and devising for theatre for students and professionals aged 16 years and over. Lisa and Rachael can also give post-show talks/question and answer sessions on how they generate their material and the ways in which they work.
