Almost Famous...
Almost Famous is not a strapline for our company (we'll leave you to decide how near or far from fame we are) but it is the title of our new play.
Emily Benton, veteran female actor and star of stage and screen, is back in the UK after a career that took her to Broadway and Hollywood. With her pedigree, she should be in Downton Abbey or the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Instead she's auditioning for a role in a devised play that has only become available because another, slightly older and more famous, female actor has gone to join the theatre in the sky. Find out just what brought her to this at Salford, Buxton and Edinburgh this summer.
The show premiered at Brighton Fringe in May. Theatre in Brighton said 'Jac Wheble showcased a wealth of experience in her performance, making everything more vulnerable and relatable.' Broadway Baby described it as 'very funny and thought provoking, and well recommended.' And these were for its first ever performance before a live audience!
Tickets for Salford (GM Fringe) are on sale here. Tickets for Buxton (Buxton Festival Fringe) are on sale here. Tickets for Edinburgh (Edinburgh Festival Fringe) are on sale here. More about the show on our Almost Famous page!

NoLogoProductions - Bringing new writing to new audiences since 2010
NoLogoProductions have been producing new writing at Fringe festivals and theatres across the UK from 2010. Our work has ranged from political drama to tales of lost love, from tragedy to comedy, and from present day Britain to 1950s America. Uniting it all has been a commitment to creating characters and telling stories that people can care about and empathise with.
We know that theatre can't change the world, but hopefully it can help us understand it, and each other, just that little bit better.

Make-up - our 2022 Fringe smash
If you want to see our last show before coming to our new one, you can do! And you don't even have to leave the sofa!
You can watch a live recording of Make-up, filmed at Eden Court, Inverness here. The show toured the UK between 2020 (yes there was live theatre in 2020!) and 2023. It was also part of online festivals in America, Australia and Ukraine.
These are some of the reviews for the show.
'The script by Andy Moseley is gripping and intense and Moj Taylor gives us a powerful set of mental images through his quietly angry performance. Layer upon layer is warmly/brutally exposed and we learn and appreciate more and more what has become a muddled life. We come out challenged, disturbed, not quite angry: it’s a sharply-observed piece which raises questions, answers some, and raises more.' Buxton Fringe Review
'A noble and thought-provoking piece, starring an excellent Moj Taylor as Chris and his troubled drag persona, Lady Christina. Moseley and Taylor capture well the tortures and fears of Chris/Christina as she emerges from a performance, offering some poignant dressing-room reflections. A skilled and successful drama, it nudges you to new insight and understanding.' The Wee Review
'The writing and performance throughout Make-Up are impressive, working together to create an absolutely real character, with all the messy complexities, contradictions and – yes – flaws that entails. But the thing that really lifts Make-Up to the next level for me is the humanity of it all. It’s a confident piece of writing and direction, brought to life by a truly compelling performance from Taylor.' North Manchester FM
'A disarmingly truthful and humorous piece, adroitly constructed and beautifully performed. Moj Taylor is skilled at both humour and pathos, prickly yet inviting, welcoming the audience into his world yet always keeping a distance. A tiny acting space is used very well by Taylor and Moseley, leading to an intimacy that is never oppressive' All Edinburgh Theatre
