We are a young group of volunteers from the Family International who've come together to form a theatre group in London.
With our plays, we address controversial and difficult issues everybody faces in today's society. We perform all over London and the UK with one goal in mind:
Encouraging our audience to take control of their futures, and challenging them to make a difference!
So sorry we have been so silent on here. Well what's new with us? Heather is now living in sunny Mexico .We miss her greatly but know she is happy there. We love you Heather! The "4 horsemen" are in the barn so to speak. We are not performing so much on the streets now(Brrr) so its a good time to upgrade our props and work on our plays so we can be sharp and ready for the spring onslaught. Oh and with Christmas around the corner we are busy witnessing and hopefully bring the real meaning of Christmas to all we meet.
Weep, Oh World! The Four Horsemen Team has lost a dear, dear member - well, several in fact...
Simon and his family have departed for South Africa!
Simon, we miss you more then you can possibly know. It's down to you that the dream and fledgling idea of the Four Horsemen was enacted - we couldn't have done it without your drive, vision and enthusiasm! You and yours will be greatly missed.
(Observe moment of silence here...)
At least he left us Sam...even if the plays will never be the same without Simon improvising during fight scenes and scaring us all to death :P.*sobs*
Our team and the awesome friends who put us up (and even joined in on the fun)
Sooo...the Four Horsemen road team got back from a ten-day gig in Scotland on Monday, and it's taken me a whole week just to get some pix your way...
But I have prevailed :).
I didn't go on the road trip (which included a eight day stay in Edinburgh performing at the Fringe Festival and two days in Glasgow) but apparently it rocked! I've yet to twist the boys' arms and have them write up all the juice, so I'll let the pictures do the talking...
Phil as Money
The Four Horsemen in action!
Josh and Cate moving with the flow in the Everything skit
Anna Strutt 'strutting' her stuff as Fashion :P
War meeting his end
Phil Strutt striking fear into the audience as Death
More to come, so stay tuned!
PS: We want to take this moment to say a HUGE thank you to our friends Peter, Lily and family for putting up our team and being such a huge help and support! You guys rock!)
Sam's at summer camp in South Africa, so it's just as well Faye learned his lines (she got to put them into action last weekend in Kingston, woo hoo!). Cate's in Washington at the moment for a family reunion, so once we have our team back together, Edinburgh is a green light!
Thought I'd post the soundtrack to the Four Horsemen play here - and yes, that's the full, unabridged versions of the songs we use for the intro and fight scene!
Just a bit of background on these lyrics: The book of Revelations talks about four horsemen that represent different elements fighting for control of the world in the final days before Jesus' return. War, Death, Greed and the fourth horseman... Jesus of course (cuz he's the shizz :D).
And in this one, we hear the actual text quoted from Revelations about the Battle of Armageddon, in which the Lamb (Jesus) brings an army down from Heaven to kick the Beast (yeah that would be the big bad guy) back to hell and bring peace on Earth.
Been practicing a lot recently as there's a fair bit of role-swapping going on. For example, Faye is being trained as Sammy's protege in the role of Death (that's right, all - another female horseman!).
(Apparently she plans on killing them with kindness?? :P)
Phil (a dear old friend who's become a temporary addition to the team) is donning Money's cloak... All gearing up for a big road trip in Edinburgh this summer (still don't have those details for you guys, but bear with me! All will be revealed...once it's solidified that is. You know how temperamental men can be? Try four of'em with swords lol :P)...
