An Exciting Announcement…

We are THRILLED to announce that Icarus has received its first ever Arts Council funding!

This is an extremely exciting event in the company’s history, marking a decade of hard work as Icarus reaches its ten year anniversary in January.

Being only a few weeks away from rehearsal, the design production will soon be in full swing. It is a very exciting time as the designs become actuality: the set is constructed, the props sourced and the costumes produced. This funding will assist in the creation of these elements, allowing us to create a vibrantly visual production of the uppermost quality and to pay our actors TMA rates.

This year we are touring William Shakespeare’s famous Othello, which will run from September 2013-May 2014. The story is a dangerous tale of jealousy, ambition and love, highlighted through the use of a live string quartet and a stunning cast ensemble. The tour will open at Kings Theatre, Southsea on the 12th September 2013 before embarking on its journey around Great Britain.
