Exiles was aided by excellent production support from MA students from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
"Very moving and powerful and not in any way ruined by the odd breakdown in technology, which was in some way fitting. "
"I really enjoyed it! I found it moving, warm, funny sometimes and very well co-ordinated. I very much liked the use of Skype with the presence of actors. I liked the stories and I found the use of Skype and its idiosyncracies totally fitting, Its hard to communicate at the best of times and being Exile reduces it further. I'd really like to know how the other groups finished their pieces!!"
Three home-based actors took part using iPads connected via Skype as seen in the slideshow above.
The production explored topics such as: living under house arrest, being cast-away, the ideas of exiles in Shakespeare (As You Like It and King Lear), divided societies (Israel /Palestine, East & West Germany). 3rdthought were changing gear after a very successful visit to the Edinburgh Book Festival & Fringe with ‘Invisible People’.
The production was developed with technical assistance from Associate Professor Lt Col (Retd) Dr Keiron Spires QVRM TD, from London South Bank University.
