During Lockdown many major theatre companies have moved on-line to stream videos of past productions and we felt inspired to do something similar.
We have made a video of the first piece that BKTC staged; it was presented as part of a Scratch Night organised by The Nuffield Theatre, Southampton which, because of a bomb scare, was actually staged at The Theatre Royal, Portsmouth in 2006.
From this twelve minute monologue, performed by Sally Sanders, Sian developed the full length one-woman show that toured to twenty-five venues in the South West and was seen by over one thousand people.
We know that nothing can replace the magic of live theatre but we sincerely hope that this original version of The Mad Woman in the Attic will make you smile.
You’ll find it on YouTube:

Many thanks to Sally (for enduring the peculiar process of rehearsing via Skype), Sam for making the video, John for his technical advice and, last but by no means least, Eltjo for helping us to include the on-screen credits.
