C Company

Come and discover the future of musical theatre! Check out two hot new multimedia musicals while they’re still in beta in this double bill.

Stratford Street – When Will Shakespeare comes back to earth to carry on where he left off he’s in for a shock – not only has the world changed but so has Will’s medium. For Will’s been reincarnated as a TV soap writer for long-running series Stratford Street – Will soon discovers that ‘team writing’ isn’t his forte and that it’s much harder for him to get his tried-and-tested ideas onto the small screen. Can the real William Shakespeare cut it in the modern world or will he have to be content with the memory of his first outing on earth?

Yiff! delves into the mysterious world of ‘furries’, people who roleplay as animals. Projected animations mixed with live action tell the story of Russ, whose childhood fixations seem to be crossing into distinctly adult territory, to the consternation of his religious mother. Some furries just like anthropomorphic cartoons or dressing up like tigers. Russ wants something a bit deeper and more adult: more sexy; more taboo; more… yiffy. Can he win acceptance and come of age, both online and in real life? Is a second life always a good thing? And how do you deal with the world’s wolves? All the intrinsic comedy of the furry experience meets some serious questions about sexuality in a decade of easy fantasy in excerpts from this perky and comic new musical that is unmistakably contemporary.
