After working along side SHUNT for the past 3 years, founder SHUNT member Hanna Ringham approached my self to produce some form of show. Giving me this option with no boundaries was quite a challenge. After some contemplation and thought I decided along with the support of Jack Stigner to bring the Correspondence to the SHUNT vaults.

As a working pair, Mr Sims and Mr Stigner (founder of "Foul Play productions) managed to produce the bulk of the show. Both previously producing separate productions, forming as one was extremely affective.

My self at the helm with total support from the whole of the SHUNT team set ahead  designing and set building for the show. In my element as producer and total love of taking the reigns made way doing what i do best. Taking control! Away form the camera and the production of a photo shoot, I had 10 days to pull the show visually together as a 3D image along with Stigner we had a large cast of over 20 actors at full steam.

SHUNT allowed me to take what I though would be the best area for the show. This consisted of 7 different areas that were to be individually designed to represent the office for the show.

We produced the show more as an installation and interactive performance where the public would walk through and get involved in the mayhem of this dysfunctional office.

We were extremely privileged to have massive support form all the actors that gave there time and energy throughout performances and supported us with there attendance and unique style.

Being experimental theatre and supported by SHUNT, we were given total free range with our ideas so took the show in new directions as different artists and actors involved them selfs on various nights.
