Branded begins with the launch of the most sought after, environmentally friendly, sexy pair of trainers on Earth, but as the world clamours for this season's 'must have', who'll be prepared to sell their soul for a sole? Using technologically sophisticated stage equipment the production will 'virtually' travel the world, following the journey of a pair of the 'must have' trainers from manufacture, purchase and finally their devastating conclusion. The production also brings to life the economic and environmental effects of consumerism. Specially commissioned as part of the Old Vic's Go For Green education and community project. Branded marks the culmination of months of environmentally themed workshops and debates in schools. The cast and crew of 50 have been selected through London wide open auditions bringing together diverse skills such as free running, physical theatre, poetry, dance and song working alongside Aline David, Tam Williams and Daniel York.| 1 May 08 to 3 May 08 | Old Vic Theatre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
