Real Circumstance with York Theatre Royal / Escalator East to Edinburgh present:

WORLD PREMIERE
Our Share of Tomorrow
by Dan Sherer


Real Circumstance returns to the Edinburgh Fringe following its critically-acclaimed productions of LIMBO (2007) and LOUGH/RAIN (2008).

Tom asked Grace out when they were sitting on the Quay. She was fifteen, he a year older, and they were very happy together. But then she had to go away – something to do with her parents. So he sat on the Quay waiting for her. And one day she came back.

Our Share of Tomorrow is a love story.

‘Spellbinding...stunningly professional production. Unmissable.’
FringeReview full review here.

‘A resonant exploration of love and grief that shines...touching and sincere.’
The List full review here.


“This touching story of drifting, getting lost and getting found [is] beautifully written, complex and humane…Both uplifting and quite terribly sad. A play of solid quality.”
British Theatre Guide full review here.


Our Share of Tomorrow is the first play by Dan Sherer, Artistic Director of Real Circumstance.  Read his interview with WhatsOnStage here.

Cast: Jot Davies, Tamsin Joanna Kennard, Toby Sawyer. // Directed by Dan Sherer.

Our Share of Tomorrow is generously supported by Arts Council East and the Foyle Foundation.

Our Share of Tomorrow is the first play that Real Circumstance has made through an intensive period of character creation and improvisation, followed by a period of formal writing. In July 2009, the company spent 10 days working on the improvisations that generated the material of the play. Some of these improvisations were recorded, and can be watched below.

Improvisation Stage, 15 - 24 July 2009

These improvisations will generate the material of Our Share of Tomorrow. We will not be live streaming these improvisations - instead we will upload a selection of improvisations at the end of each day, so please check back here to watch the footage at your convenience.
