Shout About London

As with all great London success stories, Craig Wilkinson came up with the idea for Funicular Production in a Hoxton Boozer at the book end of 2017. After deciding to repurpose a set previously used for a high-profile brand event, they set about raising funds, finding a location, creating a story, hiring actors (and a whole lot more) at a breakneck pace. Whizz forward under two years and they’ve had four different shows, incredible reviews and menus designed by several Master Chef finalists. Craig talks about the birth of the company, breaking the rules of theatre and, on its way back from Hell, where the train is heading next! 00:38 Recap on the Big London Bake 02:52 This week’s guest: Funicular Productions 03:20 Craig Wilkinson joins the studio 04:00 How it all started in December 2018 06:00 Repurposing an old set and finding a site 07:00 The first show “The Murder Express” 08:00 The Master Chef brand association 10:46 What happens at Pedley Street Station 15:17 The script writing 18:22 Breaking the rules o
