Bobby & Amy 2021 Tour has come to end! πŸΎπŸ„
After 18 performances at 17 different theatres across South East England, the costumes are heading back to storage, the team are having a proper rest, and all 21 characters return to script pages...
Making live performances happen, let alone touring them during these times, is a challenging task - but thanks to everyone who joined us - it was also the most rewarding experience. Theatre can't happen without audiences - and all of you have made it all worth it πŸ’œπŸ’š
We're extremely grateful to house Theatre and for supporting the tour and lifting our spirits πŸ™Œβ€οΈ We were also very lucky to meet the amazing teams of 17 theatres across the country working tirelessly to welcome back audiences
So until we met again... take care and much love x

πŸ„ Tell us about your role within the show...β €
I’m the producer of Bobby & Amy. It all began in November 2018 when Emily Jenkins sent me the script and I immediately feel in love with the play. Producing it and sharing this rare and beautiful show with people has bought me so much joy during our VAULT Festival and Edinburgh Fringe run in 2019, and even more so in this 2021 tour.

πŸ„ How does it feel to join the Bobby & Amy team?
It feels like being back home. We’re so lucky that most of the 2019 team has joined us again on this adventure, and we’ve also welcomed more incredible creatives to the family. After the lockdowns, isolation and lack of live performances in 2020 and 2021, I cannot thank house and enough for believing in Bobby & Amy and making this (twice postponed) tour into a wonderful reality.

πŸ„ Bobby & Amy takes us back twenty years to 2001. What does that time period mean to you? Any nostalgic memories?
HOW CAN IT BE TWENTY YEARS ALREADY??? According to my Spotify playlists, I’m still living in the late 90s... πŸ’½πŸ’ƒ

πŸ„ Tell us about your role within the show...β €
I'm the Technical Touring Stage Manager on the show. Or something like that. I just like putting the word "technical" at the front, so it accurately represents my nerdy passion for pressing buttons and fiddling with cables. Basically, I set up and operate all the lighting and sound for the show. Oh, and I drive the tour car, so I guess we could fit "chauffeur" in there somewhere?

πŸ„ How does it feel to join the Bobby & Amy team?
It's really great. There's so much talent in this team, not just on stage (although the actors are exceptional), but also behind the scenes in the writing, directing and design etc. Although I'm new the project for this run, I feel like I've seen the show a lot of times now, but it's so dense there's always something new to discover. It's also nice to be back on the road generally. I've toured shows to a bunch of these venues before, so it's really good to see how everyone's bounced back after the pandemic.

πŸ„ Bobby & Amy takes us back twenty years to 2001. What does that time period mean to you? Any nostalgic memories?
Well, 2001 was the year I started university, where I studied drama and theatre arts, so it's really when I started making work outside of am dram and school. As such it's a pretty formative period for me. I was also lucky enough to meet my best friend Molly Naylor there, and we're still going strong and even making work together. I recently directed her new show "Stop Trying To Be Fantastic", which will be going out on tour next year. I'm allowed to plug other work here, right? [editor's note: right.]

I am the assistant director and DSM on Bobby & Amy.

πŸ„ How does it feel to join the Bobby & Amy team?
It's a joy to be back in the rehearsal room after 18 months of not being able to make any theatre. The drive and commitment of everyone in the room is inspiring!

πŸ„ Bobby & Amy takes us back twenty years to 2001. What does that time period mean to you? Any nostalgic memories?
In 2001 I was only 6 years old so the one thing I remember is sailing with my family around the Baltic sea. πŸ›³πŸ³

I joined Bobby & Amy as an Assistant Producer just ahead of the November tour so a lot of my role is focused on marketing and engagement. With Bobby & Amy travelling to 17 different regional venues, it's the perfect chance to share the story with audiences who might have missed its London and Edinburgh runs. I make sure as many members of the local community know about the show so that they can come along and fall in love with it (just like I did when I first saw it!)

πŸ„ How does it feel to be back with (or join - for new people) the Bobby & Amy team?
It's been amazing to be welcomed into such a fantastic group of creatives. You can feel how much the show means to everyone involved and I'm just chuffed I got to be part of that.

πŸ„ Bobby & Amy takes us back twenty years to 2001. What does that time period mean to you? Any nostalgic memories?
I can't honestly say I remember anything from 2001, seeing as I would have been a toddler at the time. Possibly starting nursery and throwing tantrums over not being allowed to eat sweets for breakfast!
