“The future of Musical Theatre” Tim Saward (MusicalTalk.co.uk)

“Beyond all our expectations” Paul Clement (Principal of Mountview Academy)

“I would highly recommend ‘Scratched Out’. Its sincerity is unbeatable, and whilst this passionate musical does not shy away from difficult truths it is also very entertaining. I left feeling determined to contribute to positive change.” Naomi Woddis (Curses and Riots)

R&D Productions ‘Scratched Out’ was a sell out success at Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in July 2008. Due to popular demand Riverside Studios and Oval House Theatre have invited R&D Productions to develop this inspired piece of theatre with the support of Hammersmith & Fulham Council and Thames Community Foundation.

‘Scratched Out’ is an Urban Musical about six young people from an inner-city estate who all have ambitions of making it in the music industry. The story takes place during the course of one evening at a pirate radio station and a club. As the records spin, the drama unfolds revealing the soundtrack to a night that will permanently change the lives of these six characters.

This is a brand new production with an original Musical Theatre, R&B, Hip Hop, Classical and Grime score by Richard Hale (DJ Halo) and lyrics by award-winning writer Dean Atta.

The subject matter of this production covers issues that are relevant to young people and are delivered in an eye-catching and creative way that they can relate to. The themes of ‘Scratched Out’ and the personal stories of the featured young artists (singers, rappers and poets) in the cast are highly inspirational and positive, and their aim is to channel this across to the audience in an empowering and uplifting message.
