Missing Pieces is an original theatre show - a play encompassing ballroom dancing, jive and Hollywood tap in the style of Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

"We are showing a two week fully-rehearsed development workshop, with top class dance routines choreographed by Richard Marcel of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, Let's Dance and The Royal Variety Show.

"Consultant is Carole Todd who has Dreamboats and Petticoats in the West End and is a veteran of theatre, TV and film - and even Morecombe and Wise! We will cast West End performers".

Missing Pieces is based on a true story of The Hauxwell Family of Darlington. It could be 'any family, any time, any place'. They lived through the Great Depression, the Second World War through to the '10 quid tourists" of the Sixties.

"This is a show for all the family, where dialogue turns into the fantasy of a full-on Hollywood tap routine or exquisite ballroom dance or comedy routine. Missing Pieces is an epic and ambitious show which deals with some of the hardest challenges that people face in life - such as death, disability, money problems and other pressures that they face when members of the family fall out. However - the play is darkly funny and they face all adversity with great strength and humour.

"We are seeking sponsors for the Missing Pieces Development Workshop - we need to raise £10,000. We had a semi-staged reading at Live Theatre, Newcastle and are showing the rehearsed development workshop with full dance routines to producers and interested parties on June 29th, 2012 at The Curtain Theatre, The Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6AB".
