Shook
By Samuel Bailey
Directed By Kazeem Akinsanya
Set and Costume By Toby Coulton
Lighting Design By Isabel Wolf
Instead of GCSEs, Cain, Riyad and Jonjo got sentences. Locked up in a young offender institution, they trade sweets, chat shit, kill time – and await fatherhood. Grace's job is to turn these teenagers into parents, ready to take charge of their futures. But can they grow up quickly enough to escape the system?
​As a part of Rose Bruford Colleges 'British Contemporary Theatre' Season this production of Shook was performed in a rep with The Pillowman. The challenge was to design two shows which could be dismantled and switched around and remounted in thirty minuets, muliple times over the course of a week. The second challenging aspect was trying to design a production which felt professional in quality with an entire show budget of £375. This meant designing the two shows in a conscientious way which allowed both productions to share scenic elements which could be rotated in the turn around. More Photos to follow.
