Kitson update (with added Tim Key)

Tim Key and Daniel Kitson 
 
in 
 
Tree. 
 
 
A show for two people Written and Directed by Daniel Kitson
 
 
It’s early evening. it’s mid autumn. It’s starting to get dark. And on a quiet residential street somewhere in England, a man with a picnic basket, arrives at a tree. 
 
 
A new show about dissent, commitment, two people and a tree.     

So there's that one.

I'm pretty excited about this now that i have the idea and its starting to take shape. I said at the start of the year, i wanted to try increasingly different things with my shows, and writing for someone else is a new thing for me, it opens up things with dialogue, that i couldn't do in a one man story show, but also has its own restrictions and its slightly intimidating when the other person you're writing for, is themselves, really fucking good.

Still, give it a crack eh? Tim is, i think, really bloody great, if you've not seen his own stuff, you absolutely should. So, its bloody exciting he's agreed to be in this. Especially kind considering when i asked him i had less than no details about the show.

It's a relatively long run, outside of a festival environment, i suppose. But there are currently no plans to tour this or do it ever again. That may change, but also, it may well not,  quite a lot of tickets sold already based on nothing more than my powerful reputation as a hitmaker and dreamweaver. So, if you like the sound of it now i know what it is, you may want to buy tickets with reasonable haste.
