A Toss for the Throne

And it’s a wrap! Season 1 of  “A Toss for the Throne” is complete: 42 episodes of Zoom medieval fantasy (nothin at all like “Game of Thrones”) recorded and posted in 60 days! Look for the grand season finale among the episodes in our Youtube account. Episode 1 is below to lead you to our account.

It was a time when the community needed to bind together – maintaining a distance of 1,5 metres from each other, of course. 7mrp wanted to do its part and show that theatre survived all circumstances to elevate hearts and mind. And so we launched a new production, conducted through the safe and hygienic medium of videoconferencing, a daringly innovative new script by 7mrp’s own Dana Roskey, an epic tale entitled “A Toss for the Throne”.

Please consider supporting 7mrp in their Toss project by donating a small amount toward Season 2:

“The Hotel de Jong” and “Levi, Act One”

by Dana Roskey

2 original plays in 1 evening! Coming in April!

“The Hotel de Jong” is the first one-act, a drama. It is based on the story of Korean hero Yi Jun. In 1907, Japan is moving to make Korea a protectorate. The Korean Emperor sends a secret mission to the 1907 Hague Peace Conference, headed by diplomat and lawyer Yi Jun. Will the mission be a success? Will anyone at the conference listen?

“Levi” is a farcical satire inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov’s classic novel, “The Master and Margarita”. Mephistopheles and St. Matthew struggle for the soul of young Margarita and her brilliant beau, Muis.

Each play has a wonderful cast chosen from among local performers, and they will make it a supremely entertaining evening.

April 14, 20:00 at the Studio de Bakkerij in Rotterdam. Tickets available!

April 21, 20:00 at the Gymzaal in The Hague. Tickets available!

Acting Workshop: New Year edition

As per tradition, every last Friday of the month 7MRP invites you to take part in our acting workshop. Beginners and more experienced alike, everyone is welcome. It’s up to you how much you want to get involved.

Peculiarity of this edition is that near the end, we will dedicate some time to an open stage session: if you have a story to tell or a skill you want to showcase, the stage is yours! The bulk of the night, however, will go on as usual: fun, games, group assignments and a lot of creativity!

The program is as follows:

  • 19:30-20:00: warm-up exercises
  • 20:00-20:30: improv games
  • 20:30-20:45: pause
  • 20:45-21:10: working in groups
  • 21:00- 21:40: groups performing!
  • 21:40- 20:00: open stage: show your talent!

After the workshop you are invited to have a drink  with us in the town.

The entrance is free, as always, and a small contribution to DHiT is very much apreciated.

  • Date: Friday, 28 th January
  • Time: 19:30-22:00
  • Place: DHiT Gym – Witte de Withstraat 119, 2518 CS Den Haag

See you there!
