Crowdfunding for THE MISTAKE link here

Listening to what quite a few friends and supporters have said and urged, I have decided to do a little crowdfunding for THE MISTAKE.   It takes a long time to set up a tour of a play – some of you will know this!  

I have worked long and hard to persuade 28 venues, including theatres, small arts centres, churches, Quaker Meeting Houses and schools to have a performance of the play this September and October.  

But it’s catch-22…without a tour pretty much in place, the Arts Council won’t look favourably on a grant application – ‘Where’s the evidence of demand?’ they will ask.  But if you do get a strong and varied tour set-up, which of course involves contracts and commitments, and then you are refused funding, as I was just last week, what do you do?  Cancel everything?  An option, of course – but a costly and unpleasant one.  

No, this tour goes ahead…and if you can help in any way, with however small a contribution, we’d be so grateful.  

If you can’t help, that’s fine too – but if you could share this appeal perhaps…that would be really useful.  

Thank you everyone!  More info at the link above.
