Monday, London (May 18, 2016): The people at Sky Blue Theatre Company would like to grant the wish of terminally ill playwright Anne Bartram by producing her first full length comedy at Camden People’s Theatre, London and getting it reviewed by a national paper. Sky Blue are already contributing a great deal to this project; Anne needs a wheelchair accessible theatre to be able to see her play which alone is costing in excess of £6000.

Anne’s health started to fail more than twenty years ago. From working full time in her dream job as a teacher she found herself consigned to a wheelchair and working part-time until she was forced to give up teaching altogether. Her late father inspired her to write and volunteer with a youth group, encouraging young people to work in the theatre industry.

In March 2015 Anne was diagnosed with Myeloma cancer and with the bucket list single wish of seeing one of her own plays in production, Sky Blue Theatre Company want to give her something back.

In the opinion of John Mitton, the founder of Sky Blue Theatre Company and the son of Anne “it is my passionate homage to my mother, who is my best friend and creative partner. It gives me great pride that my mother’s hard hitting comedy will receive a 4 week London theatre run; now it’s time to find the funding to assist us and get the critics in! We’ve started a Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1452235660/annes-bucket-list-play) and are currently trying to find contact details for theatre reviewers in the national press”.
