Fréquence : 1 épisode/11j. Total Éps: 8

In 1997, J Spooner set up a theatre company with five friends. Since then and until 2023 Unlimited Theatre has produced and toured new work for live performance all over the world. And after 27 years of making shows and events that have delighted, confused, dismayed, exhilarated, inspired audiences across the world, the company has decided to call it a day.

This podcast is J's attempt to honour and preserve the memory of Unlimited - "an aural herstory of the company - how we formed, what we did and how we did it."

Welcome to the show. We're glad we could make it.

It's The Remembering & The Laughing

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 20 février 2024 • Durée 01:13:06

J visits their dear friend and Unlimited co-founder Clare Duffy in her hometown of Edinburgh and, over a cup of coffee, Clare recalls her most vivid memories of her time with the company. Which includes that time she made J a penis costume to wear in public.

A small correction: when talking about a trip to Papua New Guinea, Clare and J refer to the conflict in Bougainville as having started due to disputes over tin mine - it was actually the Pangua *copper* mine.

It Was Very Nocturnal

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 23 janvier 2024 • Durée 56:51

A very special episode of The Unlimited Archives mixed, edited and soundtracked by one of Unlimited's longest serving collaborators David Edwards aka electronic music artist Minotaur Shock.

David composed music for many of Unlimited shows and projects since 2008 and when J asked him if we could release the music he’s made as a series of albums or EPs, David went back to all the original tracks and remastered them. And now we’re releasing them all into the world on 26th January 2024 - search it all up on whichever streaming platform you subscribe to on his profile ‘Minotaur Shock’ where we’ve released the soundtracks to 'The Moon The Moon' and 'The Noise' and on our profile ‘Unlimited Theatre’ where we’re releasing everything else including Afrikan Boy’s soundtrack to our 2023 show Ancient Futures.

This episode not only showcases David’s brilliant work with Unlimited over the last 15 years, but the conversation he has with J puts that music into fascinating context AND you get a real insight into how he, as someone who had never worked in theatre before, responded to some of our frankly very strange requests, and made it all.

A Series of Decisions

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 17 janvier 2024 • Durée 57:22

J sits down for a cup of tea with Unlimited co-founder and friend Chris Thorpe while trying to remember how they started out, why it's so difficult to make new work collaboratively, how the first play Chris wrote for the company took them all across the world and what it means to have “a career” as a writer. Chris also shares (beautifully) why he wouldn’t change a single thing and offers his advice for anyone starting a company or setting out as a writer now.

If you’ve listened to any of the other episodes you’ll (maybe) notice the music is different in this one and there’s a lot more underscore. Thanks to our sound designer Oliver Spooner who composed all that music and was inspired to include it for this episode because Chris is his one of his godparents and Oli loves him very much.

Welcome to the show. We’re glad you could make it.

Trodden

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

jeudi 11 janvier 2024 • Durée 50:22

BONUS EPISODE. Made in 2008 by founder Liz Margree, TRODDEN was Unlimited’s first walking play. Which means (as Liz wrote)...

I’m going to ask you to put on headphones, listen to me speaking-in-your-head and walk with me. Think radio play meets city-tourist-walk. With the walking being optional. If walking, you'll need to open/download The Map and listen to the play while (if you're in Leeds) doing the walk.

Trodden was made more than 15 years ago so some of the landmarks have changed and the route may well require a little renegotiating!

The walk starts at Leeds Railway Station on the main concourse. It finishes at City Square. In between it’ll take you round the city and give you the opportunity to sit and listen as well as walk and listen.

• When you reach the starting point (see the map) press play, leave it running and start walking. Mostly you’ll hear my voice, but there are also periods in the recording where there are pauses in me speaking. During these times, continue to walk (or sit), following the map.

• Don’t worry if you get ahead of or behind my voice in terms of your walk. Just go with it as eventually we’ll both end up in the same place. But feel free to pause so you can catch up or play back if you want to. It’s your show as much as it is mine.

Welcome to the show. I’m glad you could make it.

LIZ.
