Schools affordable Matinees
There will be two special matinees of How to Start a Knife Gang performed on saturdays in October.
Ticket prices for students will be just £5.
This may be an affordable way to bring a large group to see the play. The auditorium can hold 170 people, so you could bring more than one group)
Snippets performed at your school
Something Underground come and play snippets of “How to Start a Knife Gang” in your school.
This will be a low tech affair, with sound cues, but limited lighting cues. The play is designed to come low tech/low set, so all we need is a large bare space, such as your school hall.
These need to happen in the morning, as the actors need to return to the theatre ready for evening performances.
The play is strong in content, so we recommend for Y10 up, but we can make adapted versions of snippets if you want to explore these issues with KS3 Students.
Our snippets will be priced as follows…
Nick = 20 mins (with 2 actors) = £300
Cut = 40 mins with 4 actors = £600
Slice = 60 mins ( 6 actors) = £800
Gash = 80 mins (with interval) = £1200
Needs to be a weekday during October.
Needs to be in the London Area. Zones
Outer Zones can be catered for but we need to charge more to get our actors out to you.
Whole play (How to Start a Knife Gang) performed at your school
Whole play as above, but = £1500
After show / after snippets discussion (1 hour)
