If you have ten minutes please fill this out, it’s a really interesting project - support the arts and creatives🎭

THE ASK - Will you help us play-test a multi-player locative game in a Shopping Centre?

HOW LONG - For now, all we need is 10 minutes of your time - from the safety of your home (link below).

WHY - We care deeply about the experience of our audiences and players. We are also in an R&D process for a new post-lockdown game and we want to learn about people who might be interested in playing this game. In short, we want to make sure what we are making is relevant to different audiences across the UK (and beyond).

What happens after?
After this 10min survey - there will also be opportunities to play-test the game in May and June, but for now - we’d love to learn about what you think via this anonymous survey: https://greenwich.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/datum_rd

Thank you!

Theatres of London's Bankside

Using a light box to film my bottles - what do you think?

The theatre's were closed in the 1600's due to plague but survived and carried on as will happen again in 202.
This bottle is a reminder that there were several theatres on London's Bankside. The design is based on the Visscher View of London 1616.

These 500ml bottles make a great gift for a family member or friend, they are a unique gift. The steel lined bottles are environmentally friendly and incredibly robust, they will stand up to any outdoors pursuit or just travelling on the tube to and from work. Liquids stays hot for up to 12 hours.
Bespoke designs for just £35 plus postage.�All you need to do is let us know what you want design wise. �Send a direct message.

"This very well presented version of The Merchant of Venice is excellently executed, proving to modern audiences that Shakespeare doesn’t have to be complicated in order to understand it - if you understand the circumstances and have an open mind, Shakespeare is just as fresh, modern and relevant as it was 400 years ago."
Thank you Claire-Monique.
