01/6/06 - Gertrude's Son is back!
This poignant and funny new play will premiere
at the Lemon Tree on 29th and 30th June.
The story of the prodigal brother who chooses
the wrong moment to return, where a disturbing
past collides with an uncertain future. After November's postponement we are proud to
bring Gertrude's Son to the stage. It's been
a long process, with the initial inception of
it in our previous production 'Ouch'. Since then,
it has been work-shopped with the Mitchell School
of Drama's Adult Group, as well as the performers
themselves to create this high-octane new theatre
piece.
Come along to see Aberdeen's only professional
theatre company's latest production!

01/3/06 - HOME: Aberdeen [National
Theatre of Scotland], directed by Alison Peebles.
Abderite was proud to be associated with the
very first production by the new National Theatre
of Scotland. Abderite was commissioned to create
and deliver and interactive performance of 2
'homeless' people for the HOME: Aberdeen project. This particular interactive performance led Mark
Brown to comment in the Daily Telegraph that
this 'moment of seeming street hassle... turns
out to be a startling challenge to social prejudices'
The Daily Telegraph 27th Feb 2006.

9/1/06 - Spik Nae Evil
Now into February! Due to high demand, we originally
extended the Spik Nae Evil Schools theatre project
by an extra week - we have now extended it by
an extra 3! This has been a great success for
Abderite and the feedback from pupils and teachers
has been highly appreciative.
It was really good!! My best bit was the actual
performance.
There wasn't anything I didn't like.
P6 Barthol Chapel School
I really liked it and I would like them to
come back and do more plays.
P6 Boddam School
Super use of language in great context for
the children.
