About Us

theatre two point oh # was originally conceived as a joint collaboration between CILASS and suTCo at the University of Sheffield. The idea, quite simply, was to create a play, from scratch, collaboratively. The result was "Surveillance", involving the input of over 30 contributors, performed in May 2008 at the University of Sheffield Drama Studio.

theatre two point oh # presents: "Surveillance"

A belated Happy New Year and welcome to any new visitors to the site. We've got plenty of news to update you about, which we'll try and do in dribs and drabs over the next few days.

The ttpo# team is now coming together, having brought on board a brand new stage manager, Sarah, who will be gracing these pages with her thoughts as soon as her assessments are out the way (should be next week)

We've also submitted a funding application to CILASS at the University of Sheffield with a view to becoming a fully integrated CILASS project - we'll let you know the results of this as soon as we know in a couple of weeks' time, and more about what this entails in the next few days.

It also seems that we've now committed to a title for the play, simply "Surveillance". It came to the point where publicity/marketing-wise we had too many deadlines approaching, and it doesn't restrict us too much with where we want to go with the play. For those of you that are new to these pages, we're going to be investigating the implications of increased surveillance in our society, whether through closed-circuit television, DNA databasing, RFID chips, or any other technological development, so hopefully this title works for you!
