Character Solos is an ongoing Effort Productions project. Developed in classes with James Kemp, each show consists of a collection of solo stories: poignant, funny and moving mini-plays, invented, written and performed by each actor. Each 'solo' delves into a new character's life in one very potent moment. The magic of these pieces is that the actors creates everything for the audience: the atmosphere, setting and their imaginary scene partners. Each piece will transport us to a new world and tell a new story.
Character Solos has been performed was performed previously at the St. James Theatre, the Tristan Bates Theatre(now 7 Dials Playhouse), and now at the Marylebone Theatre (since 2023).
