Mimi Collins chats all things Bespoke Plays
When Mimi Collins moved to the UK from the States, she brought with her a little piece of Bespoke Plays, a theatre group dedicated to giving new writing the chance to be heard via their staged readings. Bespoke already put on readings in New York and L.A. but now Mimi has added a third string to their bow with London.
Their first show, Water Party, performed to a sold out Union Theatre and, if this was taste of what may be to come, means we are in for plenty of amazing treats in the future.
We sat down with Mimi to chat about Bespoke, why staged readings are a great stepping stone for new writers, and what else they may have planned for 2024. And that means Analogue, which comes to Barnes’ OSO Arts Centre on 25 and 26 March.
Analogue
OSO Arts Centre
25/ 26 March
It’s late one night in 2059 when Hyacinth, an engineer, decides to emotionally dismantle her butler, Cleve. Cleve… is a sexy robot. What follows is an exploration of power dynamics in robot romance, the future of life extension, and the sublimated genius of women in this sci-fi tango about how to define human, and how to transcend it.
Tickets just £10 and available here.
