More information on the project:
The project was formally called A Burlesque (by Murray Lachlan Young). It has recently been recently renamed The Incomers by Murray Lachlan Young. Essentially the image is to entice people to see the show and let them have a flavour of what they were letting themselves in for!
The IncomersIt’s Gordon and Celia’s wedding anniversary. They’ve asked their oldest and dearest friends Zach and Jane down from London. The only problem is that Zach and Jane aren’t Zach and Jane anymore. Jane has gone and Julia - the twenty five year old, French burlesque dancer, has taken her place.
What starts as a simple celebration quickly unravels with one revelation after another until we become aware that no one has been telling the truth to anyone about anything for a very long time.
Written entirely in his characteristic verse by BBC 6 Music poet in residence Murray Lachlan Young The Incomers will have you gasping and roaring with laughter in equal measures!
If you are able to produce something for Matthew, he’s like it as soon as possible. We would suggest by Monday 28th, then please email or call 01473 218202 for more details.

Call for Vintage Sellers: Culver Square Vintage Fair
Our resident member Katie Kennedy is a designer and vintage clothing retailer. She’s been asked to organise a vintage fashion market/fair at Culver Square in Colchester town centre on Saturday 28th April, from 10am - 5pm.
She’s passed on the message as she is looking for vintage fashion stallholders to come and sell their stuff.
The idea of the event is to get students and customers down to the shopping centre on the day so I will be marketing the event widely but also at Essex University and Colchester Institute. As it takes place on a Saturday and it’s the end of the month, the footfall should be high in the town centre, there will be no entrance fee and should be a busy event.
- Katie Kennedy
PRICES:
If you are interested in having a stall please let Katie know asap and she will send you a booking form. There are only 14 stalls available and some of those have already gone. The cost per stall is £50 for one / £90 for two.
PLEASE NOTE!
Small market style stalls will be provided for traders (see photo) with an additional 2 x rails max allowed per trader (not provided) to sit at the sides of the market stalls.
Size of stall: 7 foot high (with roof), 6 foot 9” along and 4’ deep.
- No other display items or tables will be permitted for use on the day as space is limited.
- This event is for vintage sellers only - up cycled, reworked vintage fashion, men and women’s clothes, accessories are all fine.
- As this is an outdoor event, preparations will need to be taken in the event of bad weather. This is for individual traders to organise themselves so bring covers for rails and tarpaulins etc.
- No refunds will be issued in the event of poor weather.
If you have any questions give Katie a shout. Please forward this on to anyone you know who might be interested.
