Spyway produces Surprising theatre – emotionally engaging yet thoughtful and thought provoking. We specialise in producing performances of all sorts in unusual locations and work everywhere from large theatres, through village halls to cafes and pubs. Our creative impetus comes from writers, new, established and emerging. We aim to produce well-made perfomances through excellent acting, direction and design.
Spyway is a collaboration between theatre director and writer Peter Cooper and designer Annette Sumption as well as various other designers, musicians and artists. We are based in Dorset but produce work throughout the UK.
The project with Care Ambassadors and Dorset Scope is ready for performance on March 17th and 24th. Invitation only, I'm afraid but the documentary film of the project will be given a public premiere in Dorchester on April 29th.
Richard III Riverside Studios, London, 2 February - 21 March 2010
“Annette Sumption's sparse set works perfectly in the small studio space,”
- Tracey Sinclair
OMH
“The staging is quite simplistic, just a conference table on wheels and some chairs being endlessly reconfigured which worked; the monochromatic palate also looked good, with the only colour being red, whether through the atmopsheric lighting or the tie around Richard's neck.”
- There Ought to Be Clowns
Fool For Love Riverside Studios, London, February - March 2010
“Fool for Love takes place in the seediest of motel rooms and designer Annette Sumption, with great assistance from her talented lighting colleague Paul Green, conjures up just the right milieu,”
- Philip Fisher
