Perhaps you’re in the middle of devising a show and need some help working through a creative problem, or just want someone to bounce some new ideas off. Maybe you’re looking for tips about how to take your career to the next level, or simply fancy a more in-depth discussion about how we made the show.
Associate Idiot and cast member Annie Fitzmaurice is here... to help!
We still have a few 20 minute slots available on Friday 16th November, so book yourself an appointment by emailing Participation Manager Natasha Bergg at natashabergg@toldbyanidiot.org with some information about yourself.
There's also still time to catch the final few performances of All You Need Is LSD at The Lowry and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, too... https://www.toldbyanidiot.org/productions /all-you-need-lsd/

If you're in Salford / Manchester and haven't seen our show yet at The Lowry then you're missing a treat. Or should we say 'trip'?
'I'm on board for challenging boundaries in the name of theatre (and) Told by an Idiot succeed in this.. An unusual but unmissable production' ★★★★

'a wild and unexpected theatrical trip; a trip not just in the form of the depicted tour around the characters and stories concerning the development of LSD, this is a theatrical-form trip that goes much further than that.....a brilliantly well produced show.. with outstanding performances by all four cast members. This is a truly mind-bending hit of drug-induced theatrical distortion'...

All You Need Is LSD is coming to The Lowry, Salford from 6th-10th November!
On Wednesday 7th November, join Told by an Idiot Associate Artist and All You Need Is LSD cast member Annie Fitzmaurice for a whistlestop tour of how the show was made, including working through some practical exercises that were used in rehearsal.
During this half-day workshop, you’ll also have the chance to explore the controversies and contradictions that the show plays with, with plenty of time fo...r discussion.
This workshop is suitable for anyone 16+, who is an emerging theatremaker or interested in a career in theatremaking, particularly the making of devised work.

We're in Bristol at Tobacco Factory Theatres from tomorrow with 'All You Need Is LSD' - come and join!

'All You Need Is LSD', as described by the cast! Touring from 4th October - 17th November

What a wonderful piece of theatre! I came with an open mind not knowing what to expect and left completely moved and humoured! A fantastic production, challenging convention and raising questions, the true purpose of theatre. A story told by skilled actors and very thoughtfully cast, addressing issues of under representation in theatre. I will be looking out for anything done by Told by an Idiot in the future. Thank you to all.

What a brilliant night out. Fantastic cast- MORE!!!!!!

Watch out for tomorrow I'm gonna do a video review about the show I seen but fair to say I was blown away �

Thank you to the cast and crew for an amazing production of I am Thomas tonight in Edinburgh. I feel so privileged to have been part of the audience. Loved the strength of the performers, the beauty of the music and lyrics. Laughed so much and cried too. In awe really. Thank you.

Outstanding production of 'The Ghost Train'. Blown away by your amazing energy, physicality, creativity and outrageous sense of fun. Loved it to bits, thank you.

Never missed one of your shows at the Royal Exchange. Amazing talent and absolutely spot on comic timing. Thank you and can't wait to see the next show you do.

I Am Thomas - completely blown away this evening. Thank you to everyone involved, for an astonishingly good and important piece of theatre. I'm cannot emphasise enough how highly I rate the show - I hope you get packed houses for the rest of the tour and will certainly be encouraging everyone I know, to come and see the show.

Have just watched THE GHOST TRAIN at the Royal Exchange, Manchester. Loved it!

Damn good show - haven't laughed so much in ages...thanks! �

Brilliant production. The music and songs were moving and very clever and performed by an outstanding cast . Moved to tears but also very funny.
