June 1987. Four individuals find themselves in a run down arcade on the Brighton Palace Pier. It has been pouring all day. Weather forecasts expect flooding. When things start to take a strange turn and they find themselves trapped, they discover there is more to these dysfunctional machines than meets the eye.
They all have a secret…but how far will they go to keep it?
We as a company are all from different backgrounds and classes, and we are telling stories that we feel we have a responsibility to tell. We want to bring the 80s back to life and revive it into an explosion of feeling and colour in a space for all to enjoy. Its bright, provocative and fearless – and we arent afraid to say what we want to say.
Founded in April 2022, Live A little Theatre now consists of 3 graduating MA Acting (Company) creatives from The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. The company consists of 2 Brits and 1 American, who are keen to connect their stories in order to create new, innovative devised based theatre.
Live A Little have created 2 shows in their time together - ''Arcadia '87,'' which has toured around various fringe festivals in the UK, and most recently ''Missed Connections'' at Liverpool Fringe Which went on to Win 4 awards - Spirit of the Fringe, Best Stage and Tech, Best Director (Luke Sookdeo) and Best Performer comedic support (Molly Farquhar).
The Live a Little aim is quite simple - we want to explore the human experience and discover what it is that truly makes us human. Is it identity? Sexuality? Who knows... but we’re taking you along for the ride to find out. We don’t have all the answers, but that's part of the fun!
We work in a collaborative, inclusive way - all of our work is born in the rehearsal space from different stimuli, such as art and articles.
