Event Listing Press Release

* Fantastic 50:

We're looking for 50 people to invest £40 in the play. This would provide us with around one third of the money we need. This wouldn't be a donation, it would be an investment. After the run in Edinburgh, the money we made would be paid to the individuals who invest. Whilst we can't guarantee an amount back (very few shows at Edinburgh make huge sums so you might, for example, only get back a percentage of your investment), we are not in this to make a profit and will be promoting the play hard to make sure it makes as much of the money invested in it back as possible.
If you are interested in joining the Fantastic 50 scheme then please just send us an email saying who you are.

n.b if not enough money is raised then the money will be saved and used to take the play to Edinburgh in 2011 instead.
