Current Projects
Metra Theatre's current production is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters performed on a boat. The first run took place during a week in November, 2008 along the Regent's Canal in Camden. Metra Theatre then embarked on a national tour of '3 Sisters' in 2009, performing as part of Bath Fringe Festival in May, Blysh Festival (in association with the Wales Millennium Centre) in July, and made their debut at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. In July 2010, they appeared as Olga, Masha and Irina at The Secret Garden Party. They continue the tour with dates in London in August, and The Lowry in Manchester in September.
Ortorious: Magnificent English Speeches, a radio play written by Joe Cook is currently in post production.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or projects:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
