IMMACULATE

by Oliver Lansley

Directed by Zoë Chandler & Graham Lees

 

"Upon this stage a tale we bring to you
Of devils, angels, infants and a womb..."

Oliver Lansley's 'Immaculate' (2005) is a contemporary tale of a virgin birth. Mia is young, free and single, and claims she hasn’t had sex for over nine months. But she is most definitely pregnant. The father? One of the four men – mortals and sentient beings alike – who show up at her doorstep. Probably.

“Genuinely a laugh a minute, with some real strokes of comic genius”
– Metro

“This play is carved out for those who can truly appreciate witty one-liners, bitter sarcasm, over-the-top slapstick, [and] relentless swearing”
– Varsity


CAST
Elina Jackson – MIA
Hanna Ouahmane – REBECCA
Salomon Marttila – MICHAEL
Emily Matthews – GABRIEL
Mikael Kivimäki – LUCIFER
Leben Norris – GARY

Musical Theatre Workshop

Musical Theatre Workshop

WHEN: 12.15–21.00 on Sunday 2 December
WHERE: FINNBRIT, Fredrikinkatu 20 A 9, 00120 Helsinki

This workshop is aimed at anyone who is interested in working towards a production of a musical comedy, and caters for both beginners and more experienced singers/dancers/actors.

There will be three parallel two-hour workshops on singing, dance and acting for the musical theatre, with a break/time for reflection in between. Each workshop will run three times, and they are designed to be taken in any order. During the final session, we'll perform (for each other) one of the pieces that we have worked on in the individual workshops.

We will be using material from different musicals, including Falsettos. 

Matthew Wooller will lead the music workshop, looking at how to express character in singing, vocal production techniques, and general musicianship for musical theatre.

Sophie Michaud will lead the dance workshop, looking to give a framework for understanding dance, a basic dance theatre vocabulary, as well as assembling some simple choreography for the piece to be performed.

Adrian Goldman will lead the acting workshop, focussing on the differences between acting in straight plays and acting in musical theatre, movement, and how to manage the transition from dialogue to song/ song and dance.

Please contact zoe(at)finnbritplayers.com if you have any further questions about this workshop.

Short n Snappy

Short n snappy facebook image

Short n Snappy

Join us for an hour of comedy, tragedy and everything in between, delivered in four plays that, while being short, don’t lack bite. (We’ll be adding more information about the plays soon, so keep an eye on this space.)

We strongly recommend that you book in advance, as there are only two performances with limited seating and these events have previously sold out.

THE PLAYS

after all webAfter All  written & directed by Támara Aalto

A tragicomedy in which two worlds meet, and the similarities and differences between them are revealed. The most interesting people may not be the ones who've studied the most, but could be the ones who’ve had more experiences in their lives. Unfortunately, they’re sometimes the ones who are invisible to society.

Cast:
Woman – Pauliina Myllyntaus
Man – Leben Norrie

 

Short n snappy facebook imageMy Struggle  written & directed by Vello Ruus 

An autobiographical monologue about life’s struggles.

 

Cast:
Man – Vello Ruus

 

dreamstime s 105814728Bye Bye Brexit!  written & directed by Ulf Persson

Oh, Brexit what shall we do with you? Leave won over Remain by 52–48 and – surprise, surprise – Brexit was here! In other words, as somebody cleverly put it, Pride and Prejudice defeated Sense and Sensibility. Thank you, Jane Austen! But if you don’t want to leave, then what can you do? As an ordinary citizen? As a top politician? We’ll show you.

Cast:
He – Ulf Persson
She – Emily-Rose Matthews

 

Santa Innit website photoSanta Innit?  written & directed by Zoë Chandler

It’s early November, which naturally means that Christmas is in full swing. So here’s a traditional yuletide tale of surprising revelations, arguing, and heavy drinking. Oh – and presents! Although it seems that some people are more into taking than giving, which Joe finds out when he receives an unexpected visit from Santa and events take a bizarre and comic turn.

Cast:
Joe – Salomon Marttila
Santa – Zoë Chandler

We’ll also be running two participatory sessions in which you can try your hand at acting. No previous experience is required, but places are limited and you will have to register before the sessions start. We will take people in order of registration up to a maximum number of participants. PLEASE NOTE that you can only register for these sessions at the theatre on the Night of the Arts from 16:45 onwards, so please do not try to register here or otherwise online.

We Are Not Amused

WANA Facebook Event web

We Are Not Amused by Ulf Persson & the cast

Directed by Ulf Persson & Meri Kuikka

We Are Not Amused is a late talkshow. Late in the meaning of dead. Very dead. The Finn-Brit Players proudly presents a talkshow in which the guests are three very famous and very dead women:
Elisabeth “Sisi”, Empress of Austria & Queen of Hungary (Laura Alemañola)
Victoria, Queen of Great Britain & Empress of India (Emily Matthews)
Diana, the People’s Princess (Meri Kuikka)

They are here to chat about their dramatic and interesting lives with the Host (Graham Lees) – but his guests are not all that amused. Come and find out why….

Two for the price of one! We Are Not Amused will be preceded by a short supporting feature:

Going Viral by Zoë Chandler

Junk mail through your letterbox, popups on your computer, a neverending parade of billboards, screens and totems…. Sometimes it feels as if there’s no escape from advertising. But if you think things are bad now, you’d better watch out for the next megatrend. The future of advertising is here and now there really is no escape.

Cast:
Fitzroy – Demian Stimson
Marshall – Zoë Chandler
