Miracle
Available to tour for 2009.
Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. This one is ten inches long.
Miracle is a passion play about passion, a play uncovering the darkness of love.
Will Hung is a porn star and ex rentboy who finds he is the miracle cure for all terminal diseases… but the only way the miracle can occur is if he has sex with you. The year is 1995 before the onset of combination therapies helped save the lives of many gay men with HIV and AIDS. In these dark days Will Hung is their only hope.
Written by Gerry Potter, creator of Chloe Poems, Miracle is an urban fairytale — part farce, part Greek tragedy, all drama.
Never has morality and mortality been so controversially entwined.
The PANDA Producers Consortium is currently tour booking for Miracle.

Kick Start
PANDA and the PANDA Producers Consortium are currently developing a project for the many performing arts individuals and companies across the North West who are looking for producers to assist in the development of their projects.
Kick Start aims to provide the resources to enable each PANDA Producer to select one project to work with. All four projects would be supported by PANDA, a selection of mentors and will be provided with resources and bespoke industry-specific training. The initial stage of development would give successful artists and companies a three month research and development period with their producers, with a view to create long lasting and successful partnerships for the future.
Selection of artists would be by application, with a shortlist presenting their ideas to a panel. The panel would comprise of the PANDA Producers Consortium, PANDA Director Liz O’Neil and the Executive Producer of IOU, Richard Sobey. Selection would not only be based on artistic quality and what attracted the Producers, but would also be judged on the strategic development possibilities of an idea, with guidance from the mentors on how to reach full potential for any specific project.
