FINALLY!
It's no longer a secret and we can stop teasing you with "announcements to come". It's official. The Man Who Thought the Moon Would Fall Out of the Sky is coming to a field near you! NORTH can now announce that we'll be touring to Latitude and Bestival this summer and hopefully the Edinburgh Fringe.
We're so excited that the legacy of NORTH, and the story of Ernest and She will be living on.
Find us in Latitude's line-up with the likes of other amazing people we love...Dan Bye, Les Enfants Terrible, The Wrong Crowd.
And this year it's HMS Bestival so we best get our thinking caps on for some crackin' festival get up (it's the fancy dress festival to top them all!)

Now we need your support to make this all happen!
We are now trying to establish ourselves as an independent company. Our new aim is simple: to make world-class theatre from within the North East. Our ambitions are high, and we aren’t quite there yet, but that is where you come in! This summer we are hoping to undertake a small national tour of our show.

We’ve received sponsorship from the wonderful McKenna’s at Northern Stage, Tim Bailey from Xsite architecture and Friends of the RSC as well as Northern Stage themselves, who have been tremendous with their in-kind support - ranging from good advice and cake to rehearsal space.
In conjunction with other fundraising efforts, we’ve arrived at £1880 as the figure to take these seven lovable rogues* on the road!
*DISCLAIMER: you may not find us roguish or lovable. That’s ok, we don’t hold it against you. Thank you for reading this far.
In a time of growing financial uncertainty in the Arts we feel that opportunities like the one presented to us are important for paving the way for more young theatre makers to create new work. We hope to build a network of emerging talent, both regionally and nationally. Being part of these renowned festivals is a chance to share our work with new audiences, theatre promoters and press. This is why the Festival tour is an important stepping stone towards a National tour in 2014. We hope this, in turn, will grow both our reputation and that of new work in the region. We want to encourage theatre makers, like ourselves, to believe that ambitious touring, even in the time of cuts, is achievable. Its like wor Gran’s always say: “Shy Bairns Get Nowt”
So every donation, big or small, really means a lot to us and that’s why as a little thank you, there’s some cracking gifts. Take a look at our We Fund page to find out how you can donate...and take a first peek at our trailer for the show.
