“Sabbatton’s performance is astonishing…” - The Public Reviews

JANUARY 2012

Cthulhu AUDIO VERSION Trailer Released...

Exciting news this month as the long awaited AUDIO VERSION of Mike's adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu is now recorded! Late this January, Mike went to Outpost Sound to make the recording with the fabulously talented Mr Rob Speight (who produced the fantastic sound design for the stage show too!). Sabbaton says, "Its great working with Rob as the two of us work well together and get to excersise our creative muscles/tentacles!". A short trailer has been put together to advertise the upcoming release of the full MP3 download. You can see it here, on the media page. Hopefully, the full release will surface from the depths in early March and we'll certainly keep you all posted. In the meantime, spread the word to any blogs and related sites of interest and watch this space. Enjoy the trailer...fhatagn!

Sabbaton Speaks and Sits on Sets...

Apart from catching up with some interesting voice over work this month, Mike performed in Moliere's, Doctor for a Day. In a new traslation by Tim Chilcott, this fantastically funny play was performed as a public play reading with the Brighton based company, Wired Theatre. Directed by Sylvia Vickers, Mike played the valet, Valere, and the (ahem) young lover, Leander. Lots of hard work but great, great fun and the appreciative crowds seemed to think so too. Jolly good!

Mike's one man adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft horror, The Call of Cthulhu, is being adapted into an audio version for later release. If you've seen the stage show, you'll want a download for sure! Hopefully this should be ready in the new year so stay tuned Cthulhu lovers!

Other news this month comes from Mike's annual set design and building week at a Hertfordshire school for their upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet. This is the only formal set design work Mike does now but he still likes to keep his hand in once a year to try to encourage a synergy between performance and space. The brief was to design and build a 24' octagon floor for the 'in the round' production. Using only hardboard and about ten layers of paint, a textured stone, italian esq plaza was formed complete with old blood splatters from past feuds and an abstract 'blood well' for the centre. Mmmm...

Sabbaton on (a) Set

 

OCTOBER 2011

Sabbaton Storms Salford Quays and Halifax...

On 29th and 31st of October, Mike took his one man adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft classic, The Call of Cthulhu, to Square Chapel and The Lowry. Both shows brought in a great audience reaction and got some fantastic new reviews (check them out on the PRESS PAGE). The sell out show at The Lowry made for a fantastic Halloween with such an intense atmosphere. Many audience members commented afterwards that they would love to see some more Sabbaton/Lovecraft work so all we can say is, "Watch this space!". Mike has several ideas up his pan dimentional sleeve and hopes to put some of these into action in the near future. Thanks to all Cthulhu Lovers who came. Till next time - Fhatagn!
