I am extremely excited about Nakamitsu. It is forming into a brilliant piece of theatre.
It combines a tragic epic story, song, dance, music, and many of the spectacles that theatre can be. I am proud of it and the whole company.
It has a life or death decision, a samurai sword and a big drum. All […]
Nick Hytner seems to have sparked off a debate about British theatre critics by calling them dead white men.
Of course, this isn’t exactly accurate although hints at some underlying truths. There are more older male critics than younger or female ones.
I’ve found Lyn Gardener’s and Susannah Clapp’s comments more interesting.
Lyn makes the point that she […]
Another person’s work who I will be positively bias about is Chris Goode, who also writes a wiser and more insightful blog than mine.
Goode has a new piece going on at the Plymouth Drum. See here. It’s called Speed Death of the Radiant Child.
I really want to see it but like the May Queen I […]
I expect that if you read this, you will also know Stephen Sharkey’s blog.
But as he is not going to blow his own trumpet, I will do so for him.
His work and the production gets some great reviews:
The Times here.
Guardian here.
Stage here.
I really wanted to go but I can’t make the logisitics work between rehearsals […]
There’s an awful lot of debate, speculation and many angry people pointing fingers about this.
Lyn Gardner wrote a piece and it has attracted many comments. See here.
I don’t know the full story, but having some experience at board level I know there are many difficult matters to balance and that to a large extent you […]
For those of you who liked Faust. And I definitely loved it.
Start booking now for their next production. It’s selling out already. Especially the party nights…
“Journey into a macabre world and explore the four corners of Battersea Arts Centre’s Old Town Hall as Punchdrunk immerses the entire site in Poe’s imagination. Inspired by the classic […]
Michael Billington argues here that
“The real significance of the Blair decade is that theatre has regained its old political bite.”
Of course MB tends to views his theatre through a lens of political and social commentary which for instance, Lyn Gardner doesn’t tend to do.
On first thought, I can’t exactly link what difference the Blair decade […]
I asked my nice producer and she said yes.
No, I’m not marrying her. I did it, for you.
She says bloggers can have free tickets to see my play, Nakamitsu (as if you didn’t know). How is the night of May 29 (before “press” night) ? You’ve got to be more important than “press”, non?
Obviously, there […]
