THIS is the lovely lady playing the Seductobot!


Her name is Kirsty! She is a founding member of Quite Sensible Theater.  You should head along to their new show, Y.  Written by Kirsty herself, you can find out about it here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=157061730984225&ref=mf It's free too!


Kirsty will be playing the singing-dancing robot that causes all sorts of trouble in the show.  


And is yet to learnt that friends don't remove other friends underwear.

Who are we?

I'm Nicole, and mostly I'll be the one updating this blog! I'm the musical director (LOL sounds so official and grow up), so come read about this merry organised ride of chaos that will be the next 5 months!



Hard at work (really, head at play) last night at our writer/director Rosie's house.

So we're writing/making a musical about a robot...

And this is where we can tell you all about it.

The blurb:

The Seductobot
Fringe Festival 2011

Beth is a socially inept scientist, in love with her best friend Trevor. Trevor is a philosophy student, in love with a cafe worker named Darlene, who he's never spoken to. Darlene is an opportunistic gold-digger, intent on getting her hooks into Stefan, a lawyer who frequents the cafe. Stefan is self-obsessed, morally questionable and not above using his good looks to get what he wants.

When Beth creates Sylvie, a humanoid robot programmed for seduction, in a misguided attempt to get rid of her feelings for Trevor, she sets off a chain of events that turn everyone's lives upside down. Featuring a pair of sarcastic stuffed toys, a potentially dangerous laser beam and plenty of explosions, 'The Seductobot' is a show about unrequited love, questionable decisions, tangled relationships and robots. 


So that's our show, and we have 5 months to pull it off. Wish us luck!
