DARE TO CREATE

OLDHAM ARTS FESTIVAL

MURMURATIONS

BY JAKE TALBOT

1853 Studios - Loading Bay

TUESDAY 26th AUGUST
6:00pm

Two taxi drivers in Oldham are now reaching a turning point in their lives, all through their childhood they’ve been inseparable, but now, life is trying to pull them apart, marriage, kids and financial trouble. They meet in a car park after a long’s days work, both with something to say, both with something to hide and both with no way of saying it.

Hey everyone. I've asked Jake and Joe for their headshots and bios to go on the website, like everyone else, but their exact response was "I can't be bothered." So, I've decided that I will write it for them. This is a picture that I got of them, in the pub, drinks in hand, whilst they were supposed to be rehearsing. I've read the script and seen the rehearsals, and it does actually look quite good so far. But please don't tell them I said that, I'm still in a mood with them about them refusing to send me their headshots and bios. Jake wrote the play, and then put himself in it, along with Joe, one of his best friends, and to me, that just seems like they needed an excuse to hang out more. They actually came up with the idea and discussed it in the pub at first, evidence A below. It's funny that Jake didn't want his acting and writing bios on here, considering his full name is on the front of his script 3 times, evidence B below. I would also include some actual credits about them, but all I know is that they were both in their own school nativities in year 1, and I'm not so sure that counts as professional work. Sorry I don't have much more to say, they're refusing to speak to me too because I shouted at them for not sending me their headshots and bios. So I think for that, I should really be the one to get all of the credit for this piece.

Thanks,

P.S. Please buy a ticket, because I can't be bothered to hear them complain if no-one comes.

P.S.S. It's my gorgeous car in the show too, in case you were wondering.

A picture of Jake Talbot's script where Jake Talbot is being very egotistical, as if anyone is going to think this script belongs to anyone else, other than the only Jake Talbot.
