Press Release 20th October
National Rural Tour, Autumn 2016
Bucket Club and Farnham Maltings present:
Launch Party
A new play about twin sisters a universe apart
Martha and Vi are twins. They grew up side by side, watching the stars - peas in a pod - but recently they’ve drifted. While Martha has stayed in their home village, laying down roots, Vi has been across the globe training as an astronaut, preparing to launch herself into the unknown.
Before Vi blasts off, Martha has arranged a party in the local hall to send her off in style. She’s laid out snacks, hired a DJ and invited the whole village. Will it be enough to reunite the sisters before Vi heads into the stars?
Using playful storytelling, innovative live music and original songs, this new play by Bucket Club investigates ambition, space travel and how we carry home with us wherever we go.

Launch Party is made specifically for rural touring. It is performed in traverse with four performers and a collection of instruments. The performers create live sound design and music by recording sound and manipulating it electronically, combining it with choral singing to build haunting soundscapes and original songs.
Bucket Club are a collective of artists who met at Bristol University and work with live music, new writing and devising to make playfully adventurous theatre. They are an associate company at Farnham Maltings.
Launch Party is being presented as a world premiere. It is a co-production between Bucket Club and Farnham Maltings and is supported by Arts Council England.
Cast: Adam Farrell (Mike), David Ridley (Dennis), Katie Sherrard (Vi), Helen Vinten (Martha)
