| The “No More Last Orders” tour is the second tour of its type by Sustained Magic. This tour is a collection of seven new commissions from members of Derbyshire Scriptwriters and Angela Truby, a local writer from the region. Each writer was set the challenge to write a piece around the theme of shared space. The challenge was set that they must use any combination of the four actors and that the piece must not exceed fifteen minutes. The tour followed an intensive ten days rehearsal period where each 15-minute play received 4 hours of time in order to bring it to life. Supported by   |
 | Crawl No More was the third presentation of short plays by regional writers. Building on the success of the previous tours, Crawl No More aimed to take the plays to festivals across the region. The tour was a wonderful success touring the new Ilkeston Arts Festival, Derby Fringe Festival and the Buxton Festival. Supported by  |
