Cloud Nine Theatre Company
Cloud Nine Theatre Company was established in 1997 by the North-Eastern playwright Peter Mortimer. The Company's aim is to produce only new theatre, commissioned only from Northern writers and to take live theatre to places other theatre companies would not contemplate.
The Company achieved that aim in 2004 when it walked a play called Off the Wall the entire length of Hadrian's Wall giving 11 performances along an 84 mile stretch of the wall in various unusual venues in small remote communities. Cloud Nine has now produced the work of 30 different playwrights.
New writing is central to Cloud Nine's work, and we are always keen to become involved in new initiatives. The Company runs a regular series of PlayDays, which workshop and perform extracts of new writers' work.
Pub Theatre in North Shields
Cloud Nine's partnership with the Low Lights Tavern got off to a flying start with two sold-out performances of our comedy show, A Man a Woman & a Chicken on March 27/28 2012.
Six comedy sketches were preceded by a musical turn - on Tuesday with J.D.O'Neill, and on Wednesday with Ruth Lambert - before the actors Dylan Mortimer, Ned Valent and Jill Dellow went through their paces. The packed room offered an intimate and charged atmosphere with sketches on bovine terrorism, a Nazi with toilet problems, cannibalistic parents, life-changing pills, and other vital topics.
The next Cloud Nine pub theatre show at The Low Lights is planned for May, with a production of the one-act comedy Company by Whitley Bay dramatist Dick Curran.
