Teepee Productions is to present its debut performance of Fluff, a solo show developed with Alzheimer’s Society, Herts Musical Memories and Trauma Breakthrough, at Buxton Fringe.
Writers and producers Tayla Kenyon and James Piercy created the show after their meeting on an online writers’ course. Kenyon trained as an actor and worked as a drama teacher but always fostered a love of writing. Piercy wrote short plays and films but had never tackled a one-person show.
Fast forward three years and they have created their own production company and have several other projects in development. The company was formed after receiving funding from Watford and Hertsmere Council to take Fluff to small community venues around Watford.
Kenyon lost her grandfather to dementia and Teepee felt it was important that Fluff, a “darkly comedic play”, should give an authentic portrayal of the illness.
Fluff will be performed Underground at Spring Gardens on Wednesday 3 July at 8:30PM, Thursday 4 July at 4PM and Saturday and Sunday, 6 and 7 July at 1PM.
