About Me

A BRIEF HISTORY
Spread The Poison are a rebel production company that create theatre, film and art projects.
By using long forgotten methods of the past and mixing this with modern day multi media technology, they have written and produced their own films, theatre and photographic based art pieces. The work is dark and often surreal and the real message behind a piece can often be very cryptic.
It..s about being the CREATORS of the Art as opposed to being the CREATED.
WORDS ABOUT SPREAD THE POISON:
QUOTE~ It's like spending time with the Addams Family. You know something is not quite right but you can't help but feel at home in the chaos that is Poisonville.
QUOTE~ "Spread the Poison" refers to a new kind of poison born from the mind of creative individuals, a creativity which is free from the poison of the marketplace of commercial art.
The look and feel of the site will scare away some people, but these are artists who are interested in exploring some dark corners of the mind.
--- Composer Nicholas Palmer
QUOTE~ We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams.
So said Willy Wonka.
These are the dreamers of dreams and the creators of twisted tales.
The melancholy, the dead and the dying will all gather here to get their first and last tastes of bittersweet poison.
An attack on the intellect and a curse on the mind, this blasphemy called art is something to be loved and loathed in equal measure.
What is the Poison?
Its an infection of dirty underground performance.
Its not just a painting but a half choked living breathing way of life and death. Where the four horseman come to perform and to learn.
This is not just art.
It's fate
--- Promoter and Writer Amanda Mae
QUOTE ABOUT THE SILENT FILM 'WILLIAM' ~
William is not a film to watch when you want to fill time - William is a film to be involved with, to be drawn into and to lend your thoughts and emotions to. The more you invest the more you get back. It takes you on a journey that isn't easy but it's one you'll want to repeat. It will always take you to a different place because you are as important a part of the film as it's creators. William makes you think, question and explore. It isn't like anything you have seen or heard before.
---Music Producer Howard Holmes
