Future plans Magnetic North has a number of projects under development, including: After
Mary Rose Award-winning playwright Debbie Jones (Brave New Roles award 2006, King's Cross New Writing award 2003) is writing a new play based on Barrie's Mary Rose. Described by Alison Lurie as “a final and darker version of Peter Pan” Mary Rose is a play about loss and grief written in the aftermath of the first world war. Hitchcock tried to film it in the 1960s and used to joke that it was the one film he was contractually forbidden to make. The original is an extraordinary and moving play that is rarely produced now because it is so entrenched in the conventions of 1920s West End theatre. Magnetic North's version strips away the outer layers to find the kernal and create a vibrant re-imagining for the 21st century. After Mary Rose will be produced in late 2008/early 2009
The
Big Bang What happens when certain elements and events are so placed that a particular outcome becomes inevitable? The Big Bang centres around one moment - an explosion in a hotel at midnight on New Year's Eve - and explores the moment itself and the events that precede it. The play will explore space - the space between words and action, the space between seeing and hearing and the space between one person's beliefs and another's - and time - the elasticity of time at different moments, sometimes accelerating wildly, sometimes almost stopping. It will use the possibility that theatre offers to explore a single moment or action from multiple viewpoints. A
major development workshop for The Big Bang took place in
January 2006 in association with the National
Theatre of Scotland Workshop. Wild
