The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences

We make joyful moment-specific theatre

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

We're gearing up for the next show. Here's a quick look at some of the costume ideas and bits of set we're collecting. (For reference, Mark is the one in the middle with the beehive, and Erica is the one with the hairy arms and Adam's apple.)

We'll be at @bhamimprovfest this weekend. @carlakeen is teaching a workshop for women Sat 12 & NB folk, and we're bringing #ThrupennyTales Sun 13 @mac_birmingham - come see a comedy-horror-drama made-up on the spot! https://t.co/qeaJg7AjfD

We've set the lights, projector and sound for the shows coming up this week. Join us for Glory Days and find out why what happens on tour doesn't always stay on tour... https://t.co/X9rjZJpqgq

With any documentary there are outtakes. We interviewed a band reforming and here are the bits that didn't make the final cut...#GloryDays is next week at the #CorpusPlayroom @adctheatre where we won't know why any of the groups are reuniting...#improv

Oh, how we remember those times at the BBC, photoshoots for the Radio Times, winning the BAFTA for best Unscripted Drama... one of *many possible* #GloryDays next week...how did it all go wrong? Who was the diva? Who did a 'Robbie Williams' and left...? https://t.co/X9rjZJpqgq

Join The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences for 'Glory Days': an improvised show that asks: what happens when telling the story of our lives interrupts the living of them: https://t.co/s0KJ7HjgMl

Spotted this @dinky_doors in Cambridge today. Very appropriate for our next show #GloryDays @adctheatre next week which is mockumentary-style.

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

In good old Radio 2 style, we'd love to hear from you and a moment you would love to relive if you could.
Here's one of Carla's...she says 'I'd jumped fire, crawled through a long concrete pipe, and climbed walls. I can't remember why my friend was called Oink though!' #GloryDays

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

We're looking for someone to BSL interpret one of our shows (10-13 April) - do you know anyone who can help? Get in touch.

#PosterReveal for our next show, all about nostalgia and the different ways we remember things...

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay In celebration we bring you a throwback to one of our favourite scenes, two mother dragons discussing feeding their broods...

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

*Sneak preview* We have a new show in April called 'Glory Days'. It's all about nostalgia, attempting to relive/revive those rosy memories when we were at our highest high (famous or not), and how we grow and change. It'll be 10-13 April in Cambridge. Join us!

The smugglers discover the kraken and hack off its tentacle, which does nothing to stop it consuming one of them. Bhaal's servant (the defendant) claims her victim, the trial concludes, and a strange crate of tea washes up in the North of England...2/2

[The Ministry of Unplanned Occurrences @UnplannedM]

We had a splendid, if very dark, tale night. 2 smugglers selling 'Pangolin Coast' tea dump it in the Thames, and spot a tentacle in the water. A lawyer defends an unrepentant client and a couple go to extraordinary lengths for their date nights, watching hangings and trials..1/2

@DeanesComputing @HeadgateTheatre Thank you for coming! It was a dark one...I hope we didn't scare you too much. ;)
