Synopsis

Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat is an epic cycle of plays exploring the personal and political effect of war on modern life.

The plays that make up Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat began life at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe as Ravenhill for Breakfast (produced

by Paines Plough), winning a Fringe First award, and the Jack Tinker

Spirit of the Fringe award.

They form a collage of very different

scenes, with each taking its title from a classic work.

The plays were

presented in April 2008 in various venues across London, from Notting

Hill to a Victorian warehouse in Shoreditch, via Sloane Square and the

South Bank.

Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat was originally developed in association with the National Theatre Studio and Paines Plough, and was first produced as Ravenhill for Breakfast at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in August 2007 by Paines Plough, with the support of David Johnson.
