Notes: written by David Woods and Jon Hough

Synopsis: Originally 'scratched' at London International Mime Festival in 2004 and eternally a work in progress. It is something in the nature of a hoax, a parody of pretentious concept performance with glossy production values but no content. Already offending the right sort of people - it is, in fact, a serious look at the mechanics of comedy and infers the amalgamated theories of humour and laughter of pretty much everyone from Freud to Scruton.

Notes: written by David Woods and Jon Hough. Part of Arches Festival Of New Scottish Theatre - 2003. Ideas Men won (with the Barbican) a Peter Brook Open Space award 2003

Synopsis: In 2003, garnered with awards and heralded in some quarters as THE NEXT BIG THING (or one of them) we felt the constricting pressure of HAVING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING. This anxiety formed the germ of Ideas Men. It was also fuelled by the tears of our student placement (a post-breakdown ex-computer man from Holland) who admitted that he had 'no ideas'. The inspiration was there and the challenge grew. What have we done to ourselves? We are pushed around and prodded and packaged. Everyone, it seems, wants the idea, the concept, the format. They want it simple, they want it explained and they want it now. How do you do it? What's it all about? In our age of post-industrial multinational concept companies creativity has become the new manufacturing industry. Ideas are made to order by office workers, recycled and packaged in ever more glossy new covers. Books on creativity fill the commuter newsagent stalls, magazine articles ask where ideas come from as if it's some sort of unattainable ability on the verge of extinction. The play is about two 'ideas men' who are under pressure to come up with a new idea - the next big thing - dare to plunge into the unknown zone, dare to find a new idea, not a repackaged glossy one, and dare to fail. They use doodles, roleplay, motivational speakers, soap operas, corporate jokes, leggo, food, sex, games of chase on their desk chairs, drink, pen sniffing, affirmations, imaginary outdoor walks, sentimental slush, anything &. to come up with something. They doublecross each other, double bluff, blame each other, blame themselves, blame their partners, console themselves with prawn baps and cream buns and finally collapse in an exhausted heap by mid morning. There may be nothing underneath. We may be unearthing a meta-theatrical monstrosity, a framing of our own tappings into creativity in an increasingly incestuous arts world of self-confessed magpies and plagiarists, we steal and plunder ourselves. We don't know what will happen. We only know that it will be mentally dangerous.
