Initial Itch // 1400-1500 19.03.10

an exclusive and very exciting load of nonsense

A bit of a coup this week as we are joined live via shaky telephonic communications with Forkbeard Fantasy, purveyors of intelligent, irreverent, innovative and downright hilarious theatre extraordinaire. Fresh off the back of their performance of new show The Colour of Nonsense at the National Review of Live Art, Forkbeard proceed to be as foolish and madcap as only they can be, permitting us exclusive interviews of characters hitherto entirely fictional.

We also have new (and delightfully bonkers) music from local boy and live Initial Itch regular Micheal Egan and classic Poetry from Edward Lear. Furthermore, Steve launches a new feature, reading a work in progress and asking for your kind feedback.

Who are you to disappoint him? Get in touch with your thoughts, especially if you think you can do better, by emailing initialitch@flatratestate.com post-haste, and we will put your stuff on air.

Next week we'll be basking in the afterglow of the NRLA by asking what its value is in today's performance world, but for now, enjoy the nonsense.
