We're giving you plenty of notice - our new show 7 YEAR ITCH: A RETROSPECTIVE kicks off at the Arches for only 4 nights in March Wed 25-Sat 28th.  Its a loving and affectionate look at wanting to kill the people you work beside, under and above.  What's the best way to murder them and never get caught?  How can you get them sacked and no-one realise it was you that did it?  Answers will all

It's been 7 years of working together and the cracks are beginning to show...We're back with our new comedy show, commissioned by the Arches especially for the Magners Comedy Festival.  It's an affectionate look back over the last seven years, remembering the horrific mistakes, the joyful accidents and the part-time jobs in-between.  7-Year Itch recalls our favourite and most cringeworthy moments

Its like the number 66 bus on a Sunday - two treats in one day.  How lucky are you.  Here's some photos of Marymassacre performances.  Lovely stuff I'm sure you'll agree.Jx

Its going to be a busy time now!Can you believe we are now getting close to Christmas - that can mean only one thing: PANTO.  This year the Randoms are striking out two-fold.  Julie will be buried away up at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews where she is directing Cinderella (written by Johnny); while Johnny is back at Macrobert Arts Centre in Stirling directing Mother Goose.  AND THEN.....Whispers

The turf has barely been binned, the accounts are now balanced and we are already onto our next piece of work.  Next week will see a script reading of PROMISES PROMISES by Douglas Maxwell as part of the Tron Lab.  The script is, fingers crossed, going to be another great offering coming to a theatre near you in the future (funding permitting).  We absolutely love the script and cant wait to hear

And what a classic that song was.  Well, we are now down to our final night for MARYMASSACRE and things have went smashing.  Great audiences and very positive responses (whispers have begun to a potential tour so we will keep you posted!).  A wee story to keep you bemused:  picture the scene - its a psychic tent seance.  Jo is calling out, invoking the spirits when CRASH SMASH SCREAM.  Yes, its

It's the night before opening and things are looking great.  As is always the way everybody looks about 430 years old and I have literally been eating anything that is within a 100m radius.  Ticket sales are going well - so BOOK NOW anyone who hasn't done so already!  I'm off to hit the hay, and will wake up refreshed, revived and with lashings and lashings of touche eclait on the eyes to not

Can you believe it? Its flown in and now we are on the 7 day countdown until the show opens. As promised (albeit later but hey nobody's perfect!) here's a sneaky peak of the Marymassacre show - it was taken on the first day of rehearsals! EnjoyJohnny x Marymassacre Trailer

And its Friday of week one already - how did that happen? As is always the way, what starts off as a show with 'no props to source thank you' has become a mammoth shopping list (and of course the rather dubious conversation as to whether to buy out of Asda or M&S). Yes, it appears that Marymassacre is going to be a lovely wee day for a picnic: which means that poor Josie and Kim will be, by the

And we are officially off and running...Today was day one of rehearsals for Marymassacre - its a wee bit mad to think we open in just over two weeks. The read through was great, the set model looks smashing, the LX design is off and running and we've started blocking (and also filmed a short trailer for your consumption - look out for this later in the week). We're channelling the style of a

There are hopes that 2009 will see the Scottish tour of 'Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical.'Until then, there's a wee trailer on youtube to keep you warm and cosy!Jx

It's that time of the week again for a blog update.We are looking at a shoebox. A scaled shoebox the size of The Arches studio theatre space. We are looking at the scaled model of 'Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical' set.Meanwhile;Johnny is working hard to memorize the 40 page script -- the joys of the one man show!Julie is busy choreographing and blocking the show.Karen is busy carrying her

That's right folks; the rehearsals are underway for Johnny's new show. As time ticks down to the performance, we are at work refining and editing scripts, compositions and Julie is in full choreographic swing as she teaches Johnny the classic box step. Will it make the show?Whilst in these rehearsals, one has the urge to burst suddenly into song. So far I have managed to contain myself.Get

Hi, I’ve just embarked a six month internship with Random Accomplice and thought a nice place to begin would be with an introduction.My name is Kevin Wratten and I’ll be doing my best to mediate the weekly happenings of RA onto this virtual hyperspace that is the Internet. Right now, music rings our ears as we enter rehearsals for ‘Little Johnny’s Big Gay Musical’ which will be performed in The

Disappointing news at Random House after discovering that current project REUNION was not successful in the current round of funding at Scottish Arts Council. Obviously we were really excited at the prospect of touring again throughout Scotland early next Spring. However we have dried our eyes, washed out our snotty hankies and stopped feeling sorry for ourselves - after all every cloud has a

Things are starting to kick off again here at Random House. We've barely even got the dirty laundry washed after our fantastic time in Prague when its back to work on more projects. Late June saw us working at the RSAMD with the BA (Acting) course on our new project REUNION - which we hope to tour in 2008. It was a great few days and has really got us excited about the next major tour. July

And so the bags are packed, currency ordered and suntan lotion applied (just in the off-chance that its sunny when we land). We are off with LITTLE JOHNNY'S BIG GAY ADVENTURE to the Prague Festival after playing a few dates in Glasgow and Stirling (lovely audiences at all). Whilst over in Prague the Random's are also working with the Playwrights Studio USA on new readings of both American and
