Greetings folks,

We are currently in the middle of auditions for the remaining cast for Desert Boy. We have seen some great actors so far which is causing a positive dilemma for us. Excitingly, we expect to be fully cast by Friday! 

Artistic Director Felix Cross and  Musical Director Allyson Devonish have been busy collaborating and writing the music and songs for Desert Boy. From what I've heard so far there is a mixture of West African rhythms and song mixed with a contemporary UK feel. Combined with a script that has grime influences, expect something suitable for all ages!

In Other News...

We saw Bola Agbaje's latest play 'Off the Endz' at the Royal Court Theatre, London on Monday night. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and highly recommend you get a ticket before they sell out - and they'll selling fast....and ladies there is a special treat in there for you!

Tickets for Desert Boy are already on sale at many of Desert Boy's tour stops. Again, check the 'WORK' page for information and links.

Don't forget we have a Facebook, Twitter and Myspace page - join, follow and befriend for daily Nitro and Desert Boy updates and conversations. 

The Nitro train keeps rolling on..

Have a great week
