We are delighted to welcome Awkward Productions to the Lion & Unicorn Theatre as Associate Artists for 2021:
Awkward Productions create work that is fun, exciting and slightly uncomfortable. It was founded by a Swedish immigrant (Linus Karp) and his gay lover (Joseph Martin) in 2017.
The company's two biggest (and only) shows "Awkward Conversations With Animals I've F*cked" and "how to live a jellicle life: life lessons from the 2019 hit movie musical 'cats'" both have long titles. They have both also received critical acclaim - the productions have been covered in The Guardian, The Stage, Time Out, Wonderland, Gay Times and P4 Sjuhärad (the local radio station of the Swedish forest Linus is from) and have recieved praise from Mark Gatiss, Edgar Wright and Linus' parents.
Awkward Productions have very jellicle plans for 2021 that we can't wait to share with you once the world opens up a bit again.
Awkward Productions join the other brilliant Associate Artists as part of our programme for 2021, all of whom have plans to bring some great new work to the Lion & Unicorn Theatre this year. Find out more about them at our website!
