Shakespeare meets Skins in this contemporary, urban rendering of Romeo and Juliet. Staged at the heart of what was once a disused industrial Chocolate Factory, now home to a hub of creative talent, Mosaica’s epic courtyard space becomes the ‘Verona council estate’. The youth are skateboarders, freerunners, dope smokers and aspiring artistes all caught up in the violence of gang warfare. Fusing movement, music and art with Shakespeare’s traditional verse, this edgy production breathes modern energy into a timeless tale.

“Not just two hours of darn good theatre…it’s a work of genius…thought

provoking…innovative…MokitaGrit Productions have succeeded in

tying these elements together to bring something new and

exciting to the international theatre scene.”

(Broadway Baby on ‘Pages: Promised Land’)

Critically acclaimed MokitaGrit Productions are launching a search to uncover the best in new-writing. New script competition ‘The Script 2011′ will be building on the already considerable reputation of MokitaGrit as one of the most prolific independent production houses in the UK.

We are looking for scripts with complex, engaging text and the potential for multimedia or mixed-media production. Submitted plays need to engage with contemporary society, either politically or culturally, and give a voice to strong and diverse characters. We are happy to accept scripts that need development.

The company will read all scripts. The top scripts as chosen by the full company, will be developed with the writers. They will then have extracts performed over a week. These performances will take place in front of an industry-led panel and a public audience in Spring 2011. The winner of the festival will be taken to full production by MokitaGrit, for which funding is already in place.

Entry into the competition is by hard-copy only. Please send scripts to MokitaGrit Literary Department, 33A Station Road, London RM3 0BS. Please include an email address for correspondence. If you would like your script returned please include a stamped, addressed envelope.

Closing date for entries is 11th September 2010.

Union Theatre, 3 - 27 March 2010

‘Rousing tunes, great music and strong performances…for a fraction of the price of a West End show’ ***** - Broadway Baby

‘The best new show to hail from Liverpool since Blood Brothers’ - Mark Shenton, The Stage

‘Andrew Wright’s choreography is downright breathtaking’ - Michael Coveney, Whatsonstage

‘Sensational…brilliantly executed choreography, eclipsing anything recently on the London fringe’ - The Londonist

Following a sell-out extended run at the Liverpool Playhouse and a 2008 TMA award for best musical, Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi finally arrives in London in an energetic new production.

1930’s Liverpool, and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood pour off the luxury liners for their first taste of England: a night in the city’s most fashionable hotel.

Amidst all the decadence, no-nonsense Alice from reception has fallen for the dashing Thompson from accounts - but fate, Hollywood, two wars and a dizzying array of staff and guests intervene in an epic love story spanning 60 years.

Written and directed by multi-award winning Phil Willmott, whose previous musicals include Dick Barton - Special Agent, A Christmas Carol and Around the World in 80 Days.

MokitaGrit Productions present their critically acclaimed production of “A Christmas Carol” at the Kings Head Theatre this Christmas. Revel in the joy of Christmas as a vibrant cast of multi-talented actors, musicians, children and puppets bring to life this musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ inspirational novel.

Phil Willmott’s inventive adaptation places the narrative in a Victorian back street inn where Dickens conjures up a world of ghosts, magic, hardship and hope to delight his publisher. Rapidly drawing in a crowd of local punters, Dickens takes them on a whirlwind trip through the past, present and future of tight fisted Ebenezer Scrooge, including a peek into the family life of this clerk, whose son, Tiny Tim, just may be the key to unlocking the old miser’s heart.

Let our multi award winning creative team take you on a journey of hope, with toe-tapping tunes, a pinch of snow and a dash of Christmas Eve.

“Joyous and fun…..full of atmosphere. PERFECT CHRISTMAS FARE. This is a show great for children and entertaining for grown ups.”

“What is captivating about the intimate show, besides the accomplished performances, is that it is at once comfortably familiar and REFRESHINGLY ORIGINAL, as though you were hearing Dickens’ story for the first time…This is UNASHAMEDLY FEEL-GOOD MUSICAL THEATRE, designed to kindle a warm, fuzzy feeling in its Christmas audience, and it does so to brilliant effect.” (Dominic Martin, The Stage)
