The Consultant (2011)

[Scully Z.]

As I lay here, deep in the throes of a bad allergy attack, AND it's nearly 1:30am, I am more or less delirious, itchy, and trying to take my mind off of it, SO, I have discovered a veritable cornucopia of new things! God, I love digging.

At any rate, he was in a play last year called 'The Consultants', and the premise of it looked a stitch! I will be posting some good synopses as well as some fantastic promo photos I discovered on, yes, Google Images. I'll need to do it tomoz as I'm on my mobile atm, but rest assured, it will be up!

So watch this space.

Here's a synopsis from Hydrocracker:

"Hugo Shackleton (James Wilby) is a man in trouble.
And the trouble is: he doesn't even know it.

Chief of a struggling hi-tech company,
hounded by competitors, despised by his
own Board of Directors, he needs a Big Idea
to turn his business around.

Except if he comes up with one his wife will leave him.

Into their world rolls James Ross, a charismatic management consultant with a dark past, wheelchair-bound, furious with all mankind, and brilliant.

With him comes Nicola Patchett,
ferocious strategy analyst, member of Mensa,
and a threat to Hugo's marriage of another kind.

James promises Hugo he can change him forever.

But once you sign up
with The Consultant, he never leaves."

And here's another, really thoughtful one from a theatre blog called 'Extra! Extra!'.

Ooh! Ooh! Here's one from The Guardian from the Hydrocracker Theatre Co. themselves and Neil Fleming, the writer, about its conception and development.

So, basically, go nuts, guys!
