Stephen Thompson’s Spincycle at Theatre N16

Britney is in the charts, Blair is in Number 10, and butter is bad for you.

Steve Thompson (writer of Doctor Who, Silk, Sherlock, Upstairs Downstairs and Jericho), began his working life as an intern in an advertising agency. Spincycle takes you in to the world where anything and anyone can be repositioned and rebranded. Giving an insider glimpse at the mechanisms used to manipulate consumers, public opinion and the electorate.

It’s the mid-noughties and the ad agency is struggling in an increasingly ruthless marketplace. To boost their failing finances Jane, the head of the agency, takes a risk on rebranding a Tory MP, and gets more than she bargained for….

The Canting Crew present the professional premiere of Spincycle, written in 2003. Stephen Oswald, Artistic Director of the Canting Crew has been acting, writing, directing and evolving theatre and physical performance pieces for over 25 years.
