GREETINGS
Hello, my name is Cameron Ablimit, I’m a Uyghur theatre director from China. And I am excited to share that I am in the final stages of my academic journey in the UK and I am currently working on my thesis production, a play titled "Ding Dong." This classic farce, known for its witty humor and intricate plot, promises to be a delightful experience for the audience, but I need your support to bring it to life.
WHY ''Ding Dong''?
“Ding Dong” by Marc Camoletti is a sparkling comedy that centers on the pandemonium unleashed when a seemingly innocuous doorbell becomes the catalyst for a series of chaotic and humorous events. As the doorbell rings uncontrollably, it sets off a chain reaction of misunderstandings and surprises that leave the characters—and the audience—laughing out loud. This play combines Camoletti’s trademark wit with an inventive plot, promising a thoroughly entertaining and engaging theatrical experience. This project is not only a key part of my thesis but also a personal passion, and I am excited to share this gem of farcical brilliance with our community.
our goal
To successfully stage this production, I aim to raise £3500. Your generous contribution will directly support these essential aspects and help make this thesis production a memorable success.
