Theatre

It was late 2006 when Carran Waterfield, Artistic Director at Triangle Theatre Company in Coventry, first shared with me something of the impact on her of  research into the lives of  the 'Last Women' to be executed in the UK. The stories of love and loss, of vengeance and of mercy, had 'got under her skin' and in later conversation with her you could visualize the key themes emerging for a major piece of work - themes that would embrace feminism, history, law, theology, politics -  themes that are capable of confronting our compliance with, and reliance on, institutions and unjust structures. The early phase of the 'Last Women' project  encouraged dialogue and debate with an online research and development forum. It was Triuangle at its most 'immersive'. Soon Carran will be deep into the auditioning and rehearsing phase for the Last Women production to run at Coventry Belgrade Theatre at the end of April. The track Parallel Cell was written with the issues that Carran and Triangle have so clearly conveyed in mind (the systemic failures of our criminal justice system, and the harsh reality of domestic abuse, above all the yearning for spiritual strength), and I am delighted, and deeply honoured, that Carran is to use the track in the performances . Best Wishes, go and see! Simon October 2008

DVDs

Music by leere and REV'LATOR has been used on a number of Wild Duck Productions DVDs including:
Footprints: In Somerset
Belief Encounters

On the first of May 2006 a football match took place at Priestfield Stadium, with a number of Gillingham fans taking on some of the club's past players. Wild Duck Productions were asked to film the match and were also privileged enough to gain access to the less public parts of the Priestfield complex. The DVD includes footage of this exclusive tour, an interview with Head of Security Malcolm Rous, and a behind-the scenes look at the making of the DVD. There are also interviews with players from both sides and a very special edit known as The Fools and Their Falls. Ten songs by leere and REV'LATOR formed the soundtrack for the DVD FoGFC Vs The Legends including the specially commissioned 'Priestfield', written specifically for Wild Duck Productions by leere to use on the DVD.
