Nos do Morro/ Gallery 37 Post–show talk @ The Courtyard Theatre
August 28, 2006
Just a few extra notes about the post–show talk from yesterday’s performance. Much of the start of the talk was devoted to the two groups telling each other how much they meant to each other. While admittedly a little cringy in places, it was actually quite moving, particularly listening to how the city kids from …
The Film Festival
August 21, 2006
I’m not in Stratford today, which is starting to seem like a relatively rare occurrence! I thought I’d quickly mention another aspect of the Complete Works Festival that ended yesterday- The Film Festival. A huge outdoor screen has been set up in Stratford for the last three weekends, showing six Shakespeare films as an nod …

A Marvellous Convenient Place For Our Rehearsal @ Cox’s Yard
June 12, 2006
Another ‘Slants On Shakespeare’ event, with Duska again (I won’t post that huge picture again). This time, director of the Dash Arts ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ that I’m seeing tomorrow, Tim Supple was the starring practitioner, with Pablo Mukherjee from the University of Warwick as the academic. It aws another interesting event, though I won’t …
‘Twelfth Night’ and Director’s Talk (Cheek by Jowl) @ Warwick Arts Centre
June 1, 2006
It’s been a hectic few days, rounded off by my third play in as many nights, a second viewing of Cheek By Jowl’s ‘Twelfth Night’. Again, it’s a comedy that manages to stay funny a second time round, and even better was the fact that the audience was considerably bigger this time. Also, it was …
