Resurgence was formed in the summer of 2008, a company of South East based professionals: actors, directors, stage managers, set, costume, and lighting designers with an extensive range of experience in high profile theatre, television and film. The company is committed to the production of quality ensemble theatre and to the development of young talent. Our first production LOVE BITES, an original take on the theme of love in Shakespeare, involved three performers under eighteen years as well as an experienced adult cast.
In 2009 we worked in association with The Leatherhead Theatre where LOVE BITES played successfully, to appreciative audiences.
We are currently performing our second project DIFFERENTIA in various venues around the country, and also facilitating workshops on the issues raised by the production. This new short play, written by Susan Franklyn with poetry by Fiona Thompson and commissioned by Emergence and the Department of Health, addresses some of the dilemmas faced by those involved with and affected by the much misunderstood and misrepresented condition of Personality Disorder.
A staged reading of Maxim Gorky's SUMMERFOLK and a new full length play about Personality Disorder within a forensic setting are currently in development.
