Mark is particularly impressed by the vibrant new version of the crash scene in Too Much Punch which he says “beats any version I have previously seen!” Kill Jill using hip-hop movements as a backdrop is another to admire. We could go on!!! Too Much Punch For Judy; No Place for a Girl; Chunnel of Love; Published by dbda Pin Point, 1-2 Rosslyn Crescent, Harrow. HA1 2SB Tel: 0870 333 7771.
Using extracts from plays such as ‘Hard to Swallow’, ‘Too Much Punch for Judy’ and ‘Missing – Dan Nolan’ a range of performance techniques and devices are demonstrated. For those who are unfamiliar with Mark's plays, this DVD is of particular use, to illustrate alternative ideas to Naturalistic Drama for students to use when devising their own work.
“Mark Wheeller’s passion for physical theatre was tested to the full in this production as he wove the tale of his friend’s life and subsequent death through a monochrome ensemble kitted out with nothing but a couple of buckets full of white-washed broom handles and a string of pearls. The cast created a rich stage poetry that was as near to magical illusion as is possible without the help of smoke and mirrors. The actors transformed their white brooms into every imaginable setting, giving a slick backdrop to the main action.” E-Mail:wheellerplays@gmail.com
The DVD of OYT’s premiere performance, which went on to represent England in the British One Act Play Competition Final 2010. One million to... STOP THE TRAFFIK tells true stories of people who are trafficked. Sunni and Whinney just 6 and 8 years old were sold by their parents and their story inspired the formation of STOP THE TRAFFIK. “People should not be bought and sold” became their mantra. One Million to... STOP THE TRAFFIK goes on to tell the incredible true story of their determined quest to get 1,000,000 signatures to enable them to go to the United Nations and call on governments to fight human trafficking. "I was blown-away by ‘One Million to... STOP THE TRAFFIK’. It was like watching 'Slumdog Millionaire' only this was live theatre... the young actors' hearts are beating and breaking in front of you. One Million to... STOP THE TRAFFIK should be recognised as Mark Wheeller’s most far-reaching, insightful and accomplished play to date." “The hour long show was spellbinding and quite disturbing… it was one of the best productions I have seen in a long time, anywhere.” Suitable for Age 14+ Published by dbda Pin Point, 1-2 Rosslyn Crescent, Harrow.
