IT ISN’T HOMER… BUT IT’S EPIC! The Fan Carpet share our Experience from Last Night’s SCREEN REBELS: THE ODYSSEYS


07 August 2017

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED! YOU WILL BE!

3 NEW SHORT FILMS PERFORMED 'LIVE' ON STAGE, DIRECTED BY... YOUR IMAGINATION!

Last night, in the heart of London's Tottenham Court Road, The Fan Carpet had the pleasure of being among the packed out Phoenix Artists Club on Phoenix Street in London to watch and revel in the MUST SEE showcase SCREEN REBELS: THE ODYSSEYS!

I was intrigued by the notion of Screen Rebels, many friends and colleagues had told me about the showcase, but it is something you have to see and so, armed with the knowledge that it is 3 Screenplays acted out on stage in a sort of Tarantino-esque table read, I went along and enjoyed the ride!

 

 

Hosted by the amazing Actress and MC Rosie Frecker, the show kicked off with the vocal talents of Tânia Pais Monteiro who was absolutely incredible. After she had completed her soulful and mesmerising rendition of I Put a Spell on You, she came back on stage with Georgina Parren, David Patrick Stucky, and David Hepburn for the first Screenplay of the evening RAVENS OF THE BLACK STAR written by Screen Rebels Director Kai Henderson and narrated by Amy Alexander who also makes for a terrific Parrot named Douglas!

 

 

Kai Henderson came out on stage, guitar in hand to give a smashing rendition of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun and then Melanie Radloff, Faith Elizabeth, Alida Pantone and Harry Boyd came out on stage for ETERNITY STATION, written by Lorenzo Fantini and narrated by David Patrick Stucky. This was an incredible story, with impressive performances from all involved, and notably this was Faith Elizabeth's debut as a Screen Rebel!

 

 

After a short interval, we were treated to the impressive vocal talents of Helena King, and after her rendition of You Learn, Phillip Catherwood and David Hepburn made their screenwriting debut with the final screenplay of the night; HAPPY HUNTING with the cast of Kai Henderson, Amy Alexander, Anne-Sophie Marie and Craig McDonald Kelly as the loveable, child like Brian!

 

 

All of the Screenplays were incredible and the casts for each were awesome, a pleasure to watch; not a weak link in this talented bunch, another notable performance came from Alida Pantone as Maya in Lorenzo Fantini's ETERNITY STATION, you could feel her distain for the situation her character was in, I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil it and Melanie Radloff stood out as the menacing and creepy as hell Station Mistress!

This is a MUST SEE showcase, so get on down to The Phoenix Artist Club this Wednesday! We can't wait for what comes next from this talented group of SCREEN REBELS!
