Improbable theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Improbable, often incorrectly called "Improbable Theatre", was founded by Lee Simpson, Phelim McDermott, Julian Crouch and producer Nick Sweeting in the mid 1990's. Although they had all worked together for some time, they were unable to get funding unless they formed an official company. Shows created by the company include 70 Hill Lane; Animo, a free form improvised puppetry show; Keith Johnstone's Lifegame, an improvised interview; Sticky, an outdoor pyrotechnic show involving the building of a hundred foot tower from Sticky Tape, created in collaboration with The World Famous; Theatre of Blood; and The Hanging Man (for which they gained the 2003 TMA Best Designer award).[1]
In April 2007 they opened a production of Philip Glass's opera Satyagraha in collaboration with the English National Opera, which will transfer to the Metropolitan Opera, New York in April 2008.
