Future Plans
Magnetic North has a number of projects under development, including:
Pass the Spoon
Music by David Fennessy / text and design by David Shrigley
A major collaboration between Magnetic North, visual artist David Shrigley and composer David Fennessy, the production will feature actors, animation and live music played by the Red Note Ensemble. Funded by a major investment from Creative Scotland's Vital Spark fund, it will premiere in Glasgow and Edinburgh in Autumn 2011.
Sex and God
A new play by Linda McLean
Four women explore their lives simultaneously in a characteristically funny, moving and sometimes dark play by one of Scottish theatres most distinctive voices. Sex and God is planned for production in 2012.
Sex and God was commissioned and developed with support from SAC and the National Theatre of Scotland
Some Other Stars
A new play by Clare Duffy
Some Other Stars is a play about two characters who are in love. Nothing unusual about that, but what if one of the them has been "locked-in" for several years - aware of everything going on around him but unable to communicate? What happens if he starts to be able to communicate and they realise that, actually, maybe they don't love each other after all?
Some Other Stars explores human relationships in an unusual way and is written by Clare Duffy, one of the founder members of the acclaimed theatre company Unlimited. She took part in Rough Mix in 2006, and worked with Nicholas Bone on Local Reality Expo: Hope St at CCA in 2008.
Some Other Stars has been commissioned and developed with funding from Creative Scotland
