Events Sexual Ironing, Michelle Golder's explicit and comic exploration of sex and relationships through a group of seven sketches, will be performed at Camden's Etcetera Theatre, 12-17 August, 10.30 pm. Directed by Holly Race, who directed Absurdities for the BackDoor and Brighton Fringe productions and The Icarus Girl for the Arcola Theatre, the production features Holly Spice and Kimberly Hollands. We are looking for one or two male actors for this production. Rehearsals will take place Thursday and Friday evenings, as well as some Saturdays, throughout July and early August. There will be at least one Cambridge production as well. We plan to travel up and back by car most nights, though there may be the opportunity to stay over some nights as well. Some commitment to arriving early to distribute flyers on some days is expected. Men need to be able to play under 35 years old, and need to be fearless, flexible and funny. Primary audition date will be 15 June. [Out-of-date links and contact info removed] Duologues II

Writing in English Theatre Mischa Twitchin - Theatre Practitioner with the London-based SHUNT collective and lecturer at Goldsmiths College, will present his paper: Literary Management - the Hollow Men of English Theatre: Exploring the seemingly missed encounter with abstraction amongst the managers of 'new writing' in English theatre, this paper will unpick what might be called their 'three-dimensional prejudice'. With consideration of the work of Martin Crimp, the paper will reflect on Michael Fried's 'untimely' contention that "the success, or even the survival, of the arts has come increasingly to depend on their ability to defeat theatre.
