Flicking through - there is so much great stuff up this year and there has been a hell of a lot of show circuling going on! We're really looking forward to seeing 1927, Berkoff's Oedipus, Analogue, Idle Motion, Perils of Love and Gravity, our friends The Great Brain Robbery and so so much more. Do let us know if you've got a show up - we'll come check it out and perhaps have a cheeky drink afterwards?
Excited. Excited. Excited.
Right, back to prop making....

Our Comedy Night Gossip
Good morning everyone,
I thought I would update you on how Sunday's event went.
So Teresa and I had been to our first meeting with TaleBlazers earlier that day. It was regarding an event of short plays from emerging playwrights, which we are a part of. We then ran to meet Madeleine at The Dog House, Kennington, who had been preparing things for our arrival.
Madeleine had done a brilliant job organising the space, so all we needed to do was add the banner and sweets!
With the help of Jennifer Longden we were all ready to go. The artists arrived as did our lovely audience, and we were off!
Waving goodbye to that dreaded Sunday night feeling and enjoying a night of merriment with How It Ended Productions and friends.
The line up was as follows.
COMING SOON... A promo video from the night!!
Thank you to everyone who came and to all those great performers. You really are helping us get Waterproof to The Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe 2011!

Car Boot No.2
Bleedin' heck.
These early starts (4:30am!) are rough but definitely WORTH IT.
This morning was our second car boot sale -held to raise money to get us How It Enders to Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
All in all we made £120 - which ain't too shabby for the junk we've accumulated over the years.
Here's to car boot no 3 in a few weeks!
Now it's time to catch up on some sleep....
WATERPROOF on location...
So here are just a few of shots taken that night.
We're also excited to announce that we will be working with Mobius PR to promote the show this summer. We're chuffed because Mobius have worked with some great companies over the past few years such as Gecko, Analogue and Hoipolloi. It really is an exciting (and busy!) time. We can't believe the Edinburgh Fringe brochure is released in two weeks. TWO WEEKS.

Sharing Saturday...
As another week fades away quickly things are becoming increasingly clear for How It Ended Productions.
Cardboard stereos
We are now a month away from the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe brochure being released and tickets going on sale - we can't wait to check out all the other shows - it's certain to be another exceptional year for theatre and we going to ensure that we're at the centre of the hub.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This week has seen some very exciting creative developments. Inspired by our event on Saturday and checking out some brilliant productions in London we took the opportunity to work through script augmentation, set and visual ideas, as well as our aspirations for W A T E R P R O O F and the company for the year ahead.
Teresa and Eva met to discuss the show in depth and with the benefit of hindsight we were able to scrutinise what really works, what lines don't quite fit right and some brutal cuts for the 60 minute time restrictions on the Fringe. It has seen some characters emerge larger and brighter, whilst others disappear into the shadows so to tighten and focus the piece.
After much debating, role playing and list making Teresa locked herself away in her attic room (soon she'll be able to be the office instead) and wrote. We are in a great position to make
W A T E R P R O O F the best show we can and we are not going to stop until we believe we've got there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
'But I Made You a Mixed Tape' was a pleasure and after a great response How It Ended Productions are now looking to make this a regularly produced event. A platform for emerging writers, performers and musicians. More information for plans next month will be on our blog soon so keep a look out.
If you couldn't make it, or if you want to have another peak into our world here are a few snaps and a glimpse into some of the great talent across the board.

Go ahead and have a peruse over some 'beautiful words' by Teresa through the link below:
Another talent who joined us on Saturday was Sean Mahoney whose powerful piece of poetry can be seen in this note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news Teresa is busy writing another new play, Eva is rehearsing for a production as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival and Madeleine is busy at the Archway teching another house production.
What's the saying? No rest for the...
Hope you've enjoyed having a read, thank you.
Have a lovely weekend!
Lots of love,
How It Ended
