This weekend Stan’s Cafe, the Birmingham-based theatre company who take the notion of “experimental theatre” to it’s illogical conclusion and beyond, built a 400+ ft Scalextric track in a warehouse and raced cars on it for 24 hours complete with commentary broadcast live over the Internet. I popped down yesterday evening to experience the glory, took some photos and shot a bit of video.
Here’re my photos featuring a bit of TTV, a bit of TriTTV and some normal ones:
And here’s the video. First a bunch of clips:
And my attempt at pretending I’m a helicopter:
It was fantastic stuff. Sadly I had to miss the grand finale due to the Flickrmeet (more on that later) but Chris caught it. Best of all was being able to tune into the commentary at home thanks to Rhubarb Radio doing the stream. Hopefully the whole thing will be on Listen Again soon!
