Crowd Funding Appeal on Behalf of Jestaminute Community Theatre cic

Crowd funding appeal on behalf of Jestaminute Community Theatre cic

Under its producing arm  of ‘Forthright’ ,  Jestaminute Community theatre  (a not for profit organisation)   is taking its’ new play  ‘The Gary & Robert Blues’ to the Brighton Fringe (Warren Studio 2,  on 2^nd - 5^th June )  and to then deliver two performances when we get back home in Worcestershire ( The Room Upstairs Palace Theatre  Redditch 9^th June,   & Worcester Arts Workshop 10^th June ).

The Gary & Robert Blues’ is a funny, angry and poignant story of one man using his creation of a new stand-up comedy act to find a path through his confused and damaged mind; and reconnect with the world. Trying to understand his own muddled thinking he looks at the irrational way in which society reacts to mental health issues. Inter cut with a blues music soundtrack, this powerful show is a mix of theatre and stand-up. This is the first in a trilogy of plays we are planning tackling different aspects of mental health.

Whilst we are obviously aiming to progress our artistic ambitions; the play is also important as it raises awareness of mental health issues – particularly those relating to men. 

“.....Educational, emotional and very human..........Thought-provoking, myth-busting and highly recommended viewing.....”. Laura Hughes Ember Counselling.

“pertinent and informative” Paul Milton, Creative Director  Everyman Theatre. Gloucester

“.....the actor – Stephan Bessant – gave a brilliant performance which offered significant insights into the experience of mental illness for men.......” .  Pam Morley, Senior Lecturer, Mental Health Division, Birmingham City University
