Will Averill,  Andy Bennett and Tom Butterworth formed Axis Of Evil Productions in 2004. The aim of this company is the creation, development, production and performance of original theatre and film material.  Their first production, The Coalition, was a live action postmodern sitcom about two English lads who get an American flat-mate over the Internet.  The show premiered at the Garage Theatre in Norwich to great acclaim, and Axis of Evil has so far produced nine full episodes of The Coalition.

In addition, they have produced the social satire Bombing For Dummies (Norwich Arts Centre, April 2007) and several Shitty Deal Puppet Theatre Company productions, culminating in a critically-acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007 and 2008. With the exception of the puppet show, all these productions have involved significant multimedia content, including presentations and film shorts, all written, shot, directed and edited by the company.  Axis of Evil Productions are currently looking to expand into further production on a self-funded level.

The Future
Following the success of their runs of The Shitty Deal Puppet Theatre Company at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2007 & 2008, Axis of Evil Productions plan to tour that show around Britain, as well as taking it to the Brighton Fringe 2009. Further episodes of The Coalition will be performed at the Norwich Playhouse at a date to be decided. The boys will also continue to write and develop new works, both in theatre and in film.
