Founded in 2006, Shot in the Dark Theatre creates very visual spectacles using poetry, puppetry, physical theatre and food blenders.They work collaboratively- each member of the company writes, performs, designs and directs. The result is a powerful, demanding chorus that intensely scrutinises whatever they examine: six people’s words and visions. In 2007 their first show Writers Write was performed at Contact, a one hour show about how to make a one hour show, cutting in and out of real and theatrical life. In 2008 their second show Lost/Found a virtual lost property based on real found photographs was selected for Re:Play Theatre Festival 2009 at the Library Theatre after a run at Contact. Shot in the Dark are currently working on a new show that will be performed in 2010 and are looking to take it on a tour.
