Village Life Under Threat – A community appeals
The residents of Little Middleton are up in arms about proposals that will spell the end of their village.
Following the announcement of plans to create Middleton Garden City, they have launched the Save Little Middleton campaign, and hope that it will preserve their historic community and keep it out of the hands of property developers and speculators.
Leading the campaign is Parliamentary candidate Antonia Morgan - an odd choice, perhaps, given her previous endorsement of the proposals when she was part of Middleton County Council, but this is modern politics - the old rules don't apply.
Campaign leaders wish to raise national awareness of what they see as the threat to villages and towns across our country. NoLogoProductions are here to help them.

Save Little Middleton - Join the Campaign
|
Campaign leaders will be taking their message to the public with meetings at Buxton and Edinburgh this year. Tickets for Edinburgh can be obtained here. Tickets for Buxton are available here.
At the meetings NoLogoProductions will provide a piece of theatrical entertainment to inform you of the reasons why the Save Little Middleton campaign was launched, what the campaigners have achieved to date, and what the future holds for communities like Little Middleton. This dramatised version of their struggles is written by Andy Moseley and directed by David Wood. 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
The first performances of the production prompted London Theatre 1 to say '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' and the piece was 'directed with pace and humour by David Wood' and advising readers to 'catch it if you can.'
Other members of the audience wrote in after with comments such as 'Fantastic cast & an incredible, close to the bone, darkly hilarious script! don't miss it!' 'Brilliant play, loved the wit and fast pace of the dialogue' 'the story expertly dances around current events and with the help of some solid performances it delivers a clever, poignant, funny and even rather scary take on the state of the world' and '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.
