This dramatised version of their struggles is written by Andy Moseley and directed by David Wood and was nominated for the Buxton Festival Fringe New Writing Award. The roles of the key members of the Save Little Middleton Campaign are portrayed by the following; Isabel Palmstierna: Antonia Morgan Will Underwood: Jeremy Taylor Beag Horn: Coleen Cousins Chris Townsend : Brian Barber |
What the Public Say
'Expertly conceived, brilliantly executed and cleverly written by a team who plainly have an eye for the socio-political zeitgeist. A thoroughly entertaining play, Highly recommended.' Buxton Fringe Review
'Andy Moseley skewers everything that is troubling about politics today. As Antonia Morgan, Isabel Palmstierna is consistently hilarious as she learns, obeys and breaks the new rules of power. Catch it if you can.' London Theatre 1 'A timely production. Pointed and telling. It lampoons populism and its insular message with great verve, but without offering simple solutions.' Fringe Guru Audience Feedback 'Brilliant play, loved the wit and fast pace of the dialogue' 'Fantastic cast & an incredible, close to the bone, darkly hilarious script!' 'Expertly dances around current events and delivers a clever, poignant, funny and even rather scary take on the state of the world' Lovely performances and a tight, thought-provoking script!'

Disclaimers and thanks
The leaders of the Save Little Middleton campaign believe that theatre is produced by bourgeoisie luvvies who have never done an honest days work in their lives and no doubt claim unemployment benefit when they are not hoovering up grants and donations that could be far better spent elsewhere.
Nevertheless, based on recommendations from people who work in jobs that don't involve anything other than sitting on their backsides in theatres and drinking, they asked NoLogoProductions to help them. If you would like to read these recommendations, please click here
NoLogoProductions would like to place on record their thanks to the following for their involvement in the campaign to date: Nicola McCartney and Marc Silberschatz for setting up the collaboration that led to this production, Melanie Jordan, Hugh Hodgart and Rhonda Barclay for rehearsal spaces, props and costumes, David Smith for original artwork, and last, but by no means least, Jordan Edgington for playing Brian in 2017.
