Following a studio sharing in August of Mark Hewitt's performance text, scrublands, plans are now underway for further development of the piece, beginning with a run of three performances as work-in-progress in a small subterranean space in the Old Police Cells Museum under Brighton Town Hall as part of Brighton Fringe Festival 2012. scrublands - as an interdisciplinary performance work - is highly collaborative, involving live music for string sextet by composer Peter Copley, played by the Bergersen Quartet; projected static images by visual artists Tom Walker and Marco Crivello and a video sequence by artist/filmmaker, Abigail Norris (see image above).
scrublands is one of 22 'i Likes' highlights in the Brighton Fringe 2012 programme, selected by i and David Lister, Arts Editor at The Independent.

Writing for theatre
The Revenge Fantasy Club
Developed through a new writer-led theatre project, theplaygroup, co-founded with playwrights Matthew Wilkie and Sean Tyler, The Revenge Fantasy Club, written by Mark Hewitt, was previewed on March 21 and March 22, as the final play in the highly successful Eat Theatre series at Farnham Maltings in Surrey. With wonderful performances by Jo Bowis (below, left) and Kathryn McGarr (below, right), directed by Joe Douglas, the play features two women meeting in a café-bar for lunch and a chat. But as the conversation turns darker and spicier we realise there is more to these ladies than just lunching. Further performances likely in Brighton and London during Spring 2012.
