Russian Snapshots
New Company’s last season, RUSSIAN SNAPSHOTS at The Troubadour comprised four new plays,
charting Russia’s history in the twentieth century: ‘A Cloud in Trousers’ by Ed O’Regan, ‘Madame Zoyka’ by Bulgakov, ‘Blood So Cheap’ by Clare Booker and ‘Music Lessons’ by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya.
The season sold out and won two local Arts Council awards for Special
Achievement and New Creative Work. It featured the late Sir Michael Horden’s only fringe appearance.
American Psyche
In July 2003, New Company staged a season of readings, ‘American Psyche’ of four new American plays at London’s Arts Theatre. They were chosen on the basis of being inspired in some way by
the events of September 11, 2001.
The four plays were ‘A Taste of Rain’ by P Seth Bauer, ‘Ponies’ by Mike Batistick, ‘Sweetness’ by Gary Sunshine and ‘Late Fragment’ by Francine Volpe.
