The team behind 'An Abundance of Tims' tell us all about their production, company and Tim!
Tell us more about the play you're producing? When and how was it written and/or developed?
The original idea for the show was simple: what would it be like for Tim to perform a one-man show, but with two other versions of himself on stage? Tim acts on stage telling a story with two audio speakers - each with recordings of his own voice. We wanted to create a show in which the form and content of the performance cannot exist apart. With a story about mistaken identity involving multiple Tims, there was only really one way to tell the story.
And what's the background of your theatre company?
Well, ‘Shepard Tone’ is a brand new company (of two people!). This is our first performance to a wider audience that will not be solely made up of our friends and Mums. We want to make theatre that is playful, unpredictable and performed above a pub.
