Here at 10:10 HQ, there's hardly a day that goes by without something unusual, exciting or inspiring happening. But after a meeting with our friends at the Ambassador Theatre Group last week, where we discussed all the fab things they're doing to cut their 10% across their 40 UK theatres, we were shown something that ticked all three of these boxes.
Staff at the Comedy Theatre in the West End have been embarking on an ambitious side project to recreate costumes from the theatre's previous famous plays out of, well, rubbish. Left-over drinks cartons, lids from ice cream tubs and sweet packets have all been very carefully crafted to make costumes from plays including The Rocky Horror Show and Boeing! Boeing! And hats (no doubt made from a tissue box) off to the team - they've done a pretty amazing job!

The Recycled Comedy exhibition, as it has been named, will run until the end of the Comedy Theatre's new show La Bête on Sepetmber 3. Actor Mark Rylance from La Bête dropped by to give the exhibition the thumbs up (and showed off a cracking moustache that'd rival our Cian's!).
