So, Jill has clothed a Wabbit - Rafe is starting to come to life - and in his hybrid state has to endure his first photo shoot! Great fun had by all creating a number of wabbit scenes - one of which will become our poster and ultimately become the image for our play, touring primary schools in the South from April next year (2014). If you would like to book The Wabbit King for your school or studio theatre please contact us.

Jill Wilson played with her proto-type Wabbits, adjusting finer details of their design, whilst the creative team of The Wabbit King worked on adapting the script for the show. Remarkably the bulk of the script seemed to transfer well into the new medium . Having discussed the set in greater detail today I think we can introduce  a couple of Wabbitisms into the English Dictionary - "Twiggage" and "Watchets." What they are will soon become clear...
So we are ready now to welcome the actors into the process next week and work on how the puppets will move and interact together, telling the story in an effective and inspiring way for 5-11 year olds (though to be honest, I am way older and enjoying every minute!)

An excellent first day playing with Jill Wilson's prototype Wabbits. Yet to be 'clothed' we discussed whether we 'pre-furred' them without fur at all, as they exuded such personality even without. This is a question that can only be answered when Jill Wilson or 'Wiggy' as we know her finishes a fully clothed Wabbit. Something to look forward to. The finer details of the design will be outlined in future posts. Sneak Preview R&D Showcase on 23rd October. More details here for Easter Tour Plans.
