This report here makes interesting reading. It is the result of the “Sustained Theatre” consultation in to funding for the non-white sector - perhaps one could call it “black” or “BME” or “minority” but those are all unsatisfactory labels.
I found this part telling:
“… substantial amounts of capital funding over the past 10 years that
have been […]
Guardian interview Norris and Eldridge.
I’ve had the fortune to be in work shops with both of them (not at the same time!).
One of the most useful practical notes that Rufus gave aspiring directors was along the lines of:
“… you’re unlikely to make money… I never started to really make any money until I was 40… […]
I must admit to feeling some how slightly jealous of Nina Raine and Moses Raine. Both have plays on in London at the moment. They are both children of poet Craig Raine – 21-year-old son Moses with Shrieks of Laughter at Soho Theatre and 30-year-old daughter Nina’s Rabbit at the Old Red Lion. Does this […]
Lisa Goldman is heading to the Soho so she is asking to spread the word that:
The Red Room is seeking a new Artistic Director to take forward our radical vision for new work.
The company is in great shape. We have recently appointed our first full
time producer, Ana Gillespie (formerly Lyrc Hammersmith), enabling the […]
Pages of new radio play creeping by ever so slow. Still it is creeping by.
Went to a Radiohead gig last week. My first. It was an all time best gig. It consistently reached places that theatre dreams to do and rarely consistently does. Radiohead reaches thoses places. Thom Yorke’s little shakes and tiny spin dances […]
Nakamitsu
Originally uploaded by Ben Yeoh.
Unexpectedly, I have been short listed (see below) for an adaptation/translation of the Noh play, Nakamitsu.
Noh - traditionally - would be considered very stylised by Western theatre standards. The costumes are amazing in their own right.
Here is a wood block scene (scenes […]
Amazingly, I have been shortlisted for the Gate Translation award, for my interpretation of a Noh play, Nakamitsu. Gawd! Shortlist of 6 from over 70 entries, supposedly.
“I am extremely happy to inform you that NAKAMITSU has been shortlisted for the award. The standard of submissions was very high, so congratulations for making the shortlist of […]
At the Soho Theatre last night for “An Experiment of and under Theatrical Conditions” please see the blog for it here.
It was part of Soho’s launch pad season and was very worth while seeing. It had a touch of ROAR about it, the “scratch” nights that Tassos Stevens and others created and curated. Further thoughts […]
Motortown by Simon Stephens
At the Royal Court, until May 20. Box office: 020 7565 5000
Directed by Ramin Gray with Hannah Eidinow assisting
I am still gathering my thoughts at the ideas behind Motortown.
It was very honest. It has some powerful scenes. The main character Danny and his brother were particularly compelling. However I felt that the […]
