Mercury Theatre and Wiltshire Creative announce world premiere of GOOD LUCK, STUDIO with Mischief Theatre

Mercury Theatre and Wiltshire Creative have announced the world première of Good Luck, Studio, in collaboration with Mischief, playing at the Mercury from 30 September-15 October and at Salisbury Playhouse from 18 October-5 November.

This dark new comedy is written by Henry Shields and directed by Henry Lewis, with cast and creative team details to be announced.

It’s the final night of recording Wibble the Dragon. The show is massively over budget and under written. With one hour left to film, 16 pages to go, and an audience of screaming children getting more and more impatient, the cast and crew know big cuddly heads are going to roll. 

The last thing anyone needs is a failed actor showing up with a sinister vendetta and his own dragon costume. In this kid’s TV show, more than just careers will die.

Writer Henry Shields said: “I am thrilled, delighted, excited and utterly terrified to be presenting my first solo work Good Luck, Studio at the Mercury Theatre Colchester and Salisbury Playhouse. With the help of the Mischief team, we will be creating a show that is extremely funny, totally original, and not at all suitable for children.”
