Top
of the World.
Tom is a co-founder of this London-based theatre company that draws
on elements of surreal humour, visual poetry and arresting storytelling
to provide a bold and uncompromising theatrical experience. Their
current production, Paperweight
was a sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008, winning
a Scotsman Fringe First Award, a Total Theatre Award nomination
and numerous four and five star reviews. For reviews, visit: www.topoftheworld.org.uk
Paperweight
is the absurd story of two men trapped in mindless office jobs.
As the pressures of work, and the ever-present threat of the telephone
ringing, increase, chaos descends. 'Paperweight' is an (almost)
silent comedy, of escalating intensity and surprising tenderness.
Constant surprises keep the audience questioning the boundaries
between the accidental, the choreographed, the improvised and the
rehearsed, in a highly theatrical, wonderfully unpredictable and
meticulously realised world.
'Paperweight' toured the UK during Spring 2009 performing at
the Drum Theatre, Plymouth; Citizens Theatre, Glasgow; New Wolsey,
Ipswich & the Acorn, Penzance amongst numerous other venues.
From Autumn 2009, Top of the World will be known as The Frequency
D'ici and will continue development of their next production 'Free
Time Radical', due 2010. Watch this space!
